Dan and Hitesh - Thank you, this was very informative and exactly what I was
looking for. And thank you for clearing up my confusion of PdxSerializable and
DataSerializable.

Jared:
For new(furture) version we have mechanism to deal with old version nodes. look
InternalDistributedMember class's function (fromDataPre_GFE_7_1_0_0). You can
use this mechanism to deal with older version.

That Configuration class implements DataSerializable, not PdxSerializable.
FYI the PdxReader does have a method to check if a field is present.
The way to handle different versions of geode with DataSerializable is to
use the versioning support described on this page -
https://cwiki.apache.org/co
One more option would be, by taking advantage of PDX versioning
support...The PDX mechanism can handle multiple versions of the same class,
instead of modifying the existing field, you could add a new field with Map

Jared,
I meant the server/product version number, if it was stored as part of the
ClusterConfig definition in the pdx...If its not, we could think about
adding one, which could help in the future to identify the version of the
cluster configuration saved/created.

Anil - The class does have a serialVersionUID defined, if that’s the type of
version number you mean. But the serialVersionUID is not explicitly written
out by the toData() method of the class. Could you point me to any examples in
the code of checking the version number on a PDX serialized ins
You can use version numbers, if its available...
We use this mechanism in many cases, rolling upgrade(?), Server to client
communication...
