Checking your versions

import com.aerospike.client.sdk.Cluster;
import com.aerospike.client.sdk.ClusterDefinition;
import com.aerospike.client.sdk.util.Version;


// Client library version (from the JAR manifest)
ClusterDefinition def = new ClusterDefinition("localhost", 3000);
System.out.println("Developer SDK: " + def.getClientVersion());


// Minimum server version seen across the cluster (after connect)
try (Cluster cluster = def.connect()) {
    Version v = cluster.getVersion();
    System.out.println("Cluster server version (min): " + (v != null ? v : "n/a"));
}
