I forgot to reply one of the suggestion.

This suggestion has been rejected because I was not sure the location of the
declaration and the implementation. Function which could be called from clients
must be declared in src/include/{common|fe_utils|utils} directory. I saw files
located at there but I could not appropriate location for CheckDataVersion.
Also, I did not think new file should be created only for this function.
