Jim Showalter created HADOOP-15160:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: Confusing text in http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/Compatibility.html
                 Key: HADOOP-15160
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-15160
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: documentation
            Reporter: Jim Showalter
            Priority: Minor

The following changes to a .proto file SHALL be considered incompatible:
The following changes to a .proto file SHALL be considered incompatible:

Second, one of the items listed under the first of those two headings seems like it is a compatible change, not an incompatible change:

Delete an optional field as long as the optional field has reasonable defaults to allow deletions
