Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-2598:
----------------------------------------

New features in 1.5 and 1.6 have resulted in changes to the implementations of some of the FATE operations.  Even if the class names were the same, they may still fail.

> Fate in 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6 relies on serializing the class name for operations directly. This makes upgrades harder (and precludes rolling upgrades) because those class names can and have changed between major versions.
> Rather than adopting a policy around compatibility changes outside of hte public API, we should change how Fate is implemented so that this isn't an issue.
