Hi Alexey, 1,2,3 are related only to handshake. All other operations are consistent.
Handshake request format is dictated by existing client connector that is shared with ODBC and JDBC clients (see ClientListenerNioListener.onHandshake). so we can't add magic numbers or change operation code. But yes, we can add server version to the handshake response, and I think this makes sense. > 4. The same comments for success flag (1 byte) and status code (4 bytes) in responses. Let's leave only status code. We don't have a success flag in responses, there is just a 4-byte status code, 0 indicates success, everything else is an error.
