Introducing the new Aerospike PHP 7 client (we've moved the PHP 5 client)

I am being asked to run the php5 and php7 libraries along-side one another (2 different php-fpm pools). I am guessing looking at the changes listed here: GitHub - aerospike-community/aerospike-client-php: Aerospike client for PHP7 that this may not be a good idea - or at a minimum will require some extra precautions.

For example, will sessions work the same across php5 and php7 pools with the same session key? Also, so far I have been storing stuff only in php5 using new \Aerospike\Bytes - but seeing that AS_BYTES_PHP is now AS_BYTES_BLOB in php7 - I am guessing its possible that the same value written in php5 may not be readable in php7 without extra steps (and vice versa).

Or maybe it will all “just work” - anyways, if anyone knows of specific gotchas in this scenario, any heads-up is appreciated.
