I think about it in a following way. Imagine that we reworked somehow
affinity awareness and changes are needed on a protocol level. From a
features point of view old feature is AffinityAwarenessV1 and new one
is AffinityAwarenessV2.
Taras,
I believe we should have the same mechanism but different
set of flags.
Alexey,
The idea is to add new flag when you make changes instead of
increment protocol version. This way client maintainer can introduce
the same change (probably fix) in they client without the necessity to
implemen
Igor, great idea, I think this should be our priority for all thin clients.
Alexei, protocol version bump can be still required for major changes (e.g.
if we want to change handshake format).
But for simpler things like new features that don't affect existing ones,
feature masks allow us to keep c
Alexei,
After the flags is introduced we can change the flag set instead of
change protocol version.
Of course, we will need to up the protocol version for introducing flags.

I do not understand how feature masks can remove the necessity of having
protocol versioning.
A protocol for one feature can change from release to release.

Hi,
The great idea!
What do you think about thin JDBC and ODBC?
Should we have common feature flags set and client specific feature flag
set?
Or each client has independent flags set even if they are duplicated?

Hi Igniters,
As we have a lot of different thin clients now, maintained by different
people, the issues with our backward compatibility mechanism becomes
more and more prominent.
Currently, we use protocol versioning as the only approach to provide
backward compatibility. The main issue of this a
