We are wondering which kind of compatibility we can expect between clients versions 2.1 & 2.2 and a server running the 1.8.4 version. |

Nicola This would not be expected to work - 2.x clients are not supported for 1.8.x servers. This is due to a decision made during the 2.0 development cycle and so, while I cannot say for certain what the behaviour will be as we have never tested this, I think that it is safe to say that things will likely to work smoothly. Even for the converse, 2.x servesr and 1.8.x clients, 1.8.4 would likely be too old a release to expect smooth operations - there have been landings over a number of 1.8.x releases to address interop issues, starting with 1.8.5 but continuing with the Whamcloud 1.8.x releases. My suggestion would be to use the latest 1.8.x release if you plan to run in mixed 2.x-1.8.x mode. Does this give you the information that you need? Peter |
