# Note that this backwards compatibility is from the perspective of the server,
# not the client. Cassandra should always be able to talk to older client
# software, but client software may not be able to talk to older Cassandra
# instances.
#
# An effort should be made not to break forward-client-compatibility either
# (e.g. one should avoid removing obsolete fields from the IDL), but no
# guarantees in this respect are made by the Cassandra project.
