other concerns: there is no replication between 2.11 and 3.11, store in hints, and replay hints when remote is same version. have to do repair if over window. if read quorum 2/3, will get error.
in case rollback to 2.11, can not read new version 3.11 data files, but online rolling upgrade, some new data is in new version format. if hardlink snapshot is not copied to other device, then disk failure may cause data loss. ( since may only have some data may just 1 copy during upgrade because no replication).
