Upgrading Ecosystem Components Manually
About this task
- You are upgrading the MapR Cluster.
- Other ecosystem components were upgraded to later versions and you want to ensure cross-compatibility among the ecosystem components in the cluster.
- You want to re-install a component for some reason, such as installation file corruption.
MapR re-releases major versions of ecosystem products on a monthly basis. If you have an existing version of a component that matches a major supported version of that product.
In general, to upgrade to a minor version, a package upgrade may be all that is required. If you need to upgrade to the next major version, you may need to also migrate configuration files and upgrade metadata.
Procedure
- If you are upgrading MapR and ecosystem components, complete the MapR Core upgrade first, and then upgrade each ecosystem component.
-
Follow the ecosystem upgrade procedure based on the version you are upgrading from.
- Upgrading from 3.x: Upgrade all ecosystem packages, regardless of the ecosystem version you are running. Install the same version (or a later 5.x supported version) of the ecosystem package on the upgraded cluster.
- Upgrading from any other version: Refer to the Interoperability Matrix to see which ecosystem components are supported with the version of MapR that you upgraded to.
-
To upgrade to a major version, refer to the Ecosystem topics for details
on how to upgrade each component. To upgrade to the lastest minor version:
