--------------------------------------------
Summary: Remove pre-3.0 compatibility code for 4.0
Key: CASSANDRA-12716
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12716
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Sylvain Lebresne
Assignee: Sylvain Lebresne
Fix For: 4.0
CASSANDRA-8099 make subsequent changes to internal formats so that we have
quite a bit of backward compatibility code a bit over the place. Due to that,
but also as a natural evolution, I believe we always had a tacit agreement that
3.0/3.X would be a mandatory step on the upgrade to 4.X, so that we can remove
pre-3.0 compatibility (that is, we won't support going from any 2.x release
directly to 4.0, you'll have to upgrade to at least some 3.0 release first).
I think it's time to create the 4.0 branch and remove that pre-3.0 backward
compatibility code, which should clean code quite a bit, and that's the goal of
this issue.
