 4.2. Upgrade the Stack

  1. Stop Ambari Server. On the Ambari Server host:

    ambari-server stop

  2. Update the stack version in the Server database. Use the command appropriate for a remote, or local repository, as described in this step.

    [Important]Important

    Make sure you delete the old MapReduce version before you run upgradestack.

    ambari-server upgradestack HDP-2.1
    [Note]Note

    When upgrading the Stack, you may use a local repository. To upgrade the Stack using a local repository, provide the local HDP repo URL and target OS type as parameters in the upgradestack command, as shown in the following example: 

    $ ambari-server upgradestack HDP-2.1 {HDP.Base.URL}

    For more information about upgrading from a local repository, see Setting Up a Local Repository.

  3. Upgrade the HDP repository on all hosts and replace the old repo file with the new file:

    [Important]Important

    The file you download is named hdp.repo. To function properly in the system, it must be named HDP.repo. Once you have completed the "mv" of the new repo file to the repos.d folder, make sure there is no file named hdp.repo anywhere in your repos.d folder.

    • For RHEL/CentOS/Oracle Linux 5

      wget  http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/HDP/centos5/2.x/GA/2.1-latest/hdp.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/HDP.repo

    • For RHEL/CentOS/Oracle Linux 6

      wget http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/HDP/centos6/2.x/GA/2.1-latest/hdp.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/HDP.repo

    • For SLES 11

      wget  http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/HDP/suse11/2.x/GA/2.1-latest/hdp.repo /etc/zypp/repos.d/HDP.repo

  4. Back up the files in following directories to a tmp folder:

    • /etc/webhcat/conf

    • /etc/oozie/conf

  5. Remove the old oozie directories

    • rm -rf /etc/oozie/conf

    • rm -rf /var/lib/oozie/conf

    • rm -rf /var/lib/oozie/oozie-server/conf

  • Upgrade the stack on all Agent hosts.

    [Note]Note

    For each host, identify the HDP components installed on each host. Use Ambari Web, as described here, to view components on each host in your cluster. Based on the HDP components installed, tailor the following upgrade commands for each host to upgrade only components residing on that host. For example, if you know that a host has no HBase service or client packages installed, then you can adapt the command to not include HBase, as follows:

    yum upgrade "collectd*" "gccxml*" "pig*" "hadoop*" "sqoop*" "zookeeper*" "hive*"

    • For RHEL/CentOS/Oracle Linux

      1. Remove remaining MapReduce components on all hosts:

        yum erase hadoop-pipes hadoop-sbin hadoop-native
        yum erase "webhcat*" "hcatalog*" "oozie*"

      2. Upgrade the following components:

        yum upgrade "collectd*" "epel-release*" "gccxml*" "pig*" "hadoop*" "sqoop*" "zookeeper*" "hbase*" "hive*" hdp_mon_nagios_addons
        yum install webhcat-tar-hive webhcat-tar-pig
        yum install hive*
        yum install oozie oozie-client
        rpm -e --nodeps bigtop-jsvc
        yum install bigtop-jsvc

      3. Verify that the components were upgraded:

        yum list installed | grep HDP-$old-stack-version-number

        None of the components from that list should appear in the returned list.

    • For SLES

      1. Remove remaining MapReduce components on all hosts:

        zypper remove hadoop-pipes hadoop-sbin hadoop-native
        zypper remove webhcat\* hcatalog\* oozie\*

      2. Upgrade the following components:

        zypper up "collectd*" "epel-release*" "gccxml*" "pig*" "hadoop*" "sqoop*" "zookeeper*" "hbase*" "hive*" hdp_mon_nagios_addons  
        zypper install webhcat-tar-hive webhcat-tar-pig
        zypper up -r HDP-2.1.1.0
        zypper install hive\*
        zypper install oozie oozie-client

      3. Verify that the components were upgraded:

        rpm -qa | grep hadoop, rpm -qa | grep hive and rpm -qa | grep hcatalog

      4. If components were not upgraded, upgrade them as follows:

        yast --update hadoop hcatalog hive
