[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-26537) FuzzyRowFilter backwards compatibility

["Bryan Beaudreault (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26537?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17453123#comment-17453123 ] 

Bryan Beaudreault commented on HBASE-26537:
-------------------------------------------

After discussion on slack, it's decided that we only submit this patch against branch-1. It brings a compatibility path for people to upgrade to 2.x and beyond, by first upgrading to the latest 1.x release (or applying this patch themselves).

> HBASE-15676 introduced a backwards incompatible change which makes it impossible to upgrade in our designated upgraded order (server first, then client) without potential bad results. Worse, the failure mode is silent – a pre-HBASE-15676 client would incorrectly receive 0 results from a post-HBASE-15676 server.
> I solved this internally as part of our upgrade from 1.2.0 to 2.4.6 by adding a new proto field to switch between the two implementations. I'm submitting this Jira to capture and potentially backport that fix for anyone else who encounters it.
