             Summary: Consider introducing a linter to check changes to tag numbers in public protos
                 Key: MESOS-9096
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-9096
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: build
            Reporter: Benjamin Bannier


Right now detecting breaking changes to proto messages where a tag number changes require manual inspection. It seems it should be possible to write a proto linter which would detect such changes.

It could implement the following flow:
* check if the proto is public, e.g., in some public include path
* check that the diff contains no changes to tag numbers (same field name, similar location).

We should also check whether such tools already exist and we could add them.
