Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-1970:
-------------------------------------------
bq. We don't.
So, given a ring of N-1, and version N joins:
Old nodes talking to new is no problem, it reads version off the header and
deserializes appropriately.
New node can't talk to old nodes initially because they read version and have
to drop it, they don't have that code.
But as soon as new node knows the version of one of the old ones (i.e. as soon
as it gets a gossip message) it can update a Map of {inetaddress, version} w/
the right value and we are good. No bounce required.
Right?

> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.8
>
>
> When a new new node (version N) contacts an old node (version N-1) for the
> first time, the old node will not understand the message. One resolution
> mechanism would be for the old node to "bounce" the message back to the
> sender. The sender would then respond by translating the message to the
> appropriate version and resending it.
> For this to work, 0.7.1 will need to have the "bounce" feature.
