Thanks @DuanRuixiao for the feedback! You're right about backward compatibility. What approach do you think we need, do we need brainstorming? ? Options I can think of: 1. Detect and support both formats (auto-detect on read) - could be harder and would not be clean. 2. Document as a breaking change requiring data re-write - simple, not clean as users need to read the docs. 3. Add a migration tool to convert old files to new format . -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
