This should be fine. The MDS only uses a new executable file if you
explicitly restart it via systemd (or, the MDS fails and systemd
restarts it).

More info: when the MDS respawns in normal circumstances, it passes
the /proc/self/exe file to execve. An intended side-effect is that the
MDS will continue using the same executable file across execs.

If you upgrade an MDS, it may update the compatibility bits in the
Monitor's MDSMap. Other MDSs will abort when they see this change. The
upgrade process intended to help you avoid seeing those errors so you
don't inadvertently think something went wrong.

If you don't mind seeing those errors and you're using 1 active MDS,
then don't worry about it.

Good luck!
