---------------------------------------
Summary: modify backward-compatibility support to work better with
geode
Key: GEODE-2709
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-2709
Project: Geode
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: serialization
Reporter: Bruce Schuchardt
Backward-compatibility support currently pays attention to a version's Product
name and its compareTo method pays attention to the major/minor/etc numerals.
This is an artifact of the GemFireXD effort at Pivotal a few years ago and
should be removed. The Product name is no longer needed at all and compareTo
should just compare the version ordinals.
All places that compare versions should be scrutinized to make sure this change
doesn't break anything.
All methods with names beginning with toDataPre_ or fromDataPre_ need to be
changed to remove the product name and the sanctionedDataSerializables.txt
database needs to be updated to have these new method names and fingerprints
(generated by the AnalyzeSerializablesJUnitTest).
