 3. Complete the Stack Upgrade

  1. Start Ambari Server and Ambari Agents.

    On the Server host:

    ambari-server start

    On all of the Agent hosts:

    ambari-agent start

  2. Update the repository Base URLs in Ambari Server for the HDP-2.1 stack. Browse to Ambari Web > Admin > Clusters and set the value of the HDP and HDP-UTILS repository Base URLs. For more information about viewing and editing repository Base URLs, see Managing Stack Repositories.

    [Important]Important

    For a remote, accessible, public repository, the HDP and HDP-UTILS Base URLs are the same as the baseurl=values in the HDP.repo file downloaded in Upgrade the Stack: Step 1 For a local repository, use the local repository Base URL that you configured for the HDP Stack. For links to download the HDP repository files for your version of the Stack, see HDP Repositories.

  3. Using the Ambari Web Services view, start the ZooKeeper service.

  4. If you are upgrading from an HA NameNode configuration, start all JournalNodes. On each JournalNode host, run the following command:

    su -l <HDFS_USER> -c "/usr/lib/hadoop/sbin/hadoop-daemon.sh start journalnode"

    where <HDFS_USER> is the HDFS service user. For example, hdfs.

    [Important]Important

    All JournalNodes must be running when performing the upgrade, rollback, or finalization operations. If any JournalNodes are down when running any such operation, the operation will fail.

  5. Because the file system version has now changed you must start the NameNode manually. On the active NameNode host:

     su -l <HDFS_USER> -c "export HADOOP_LIBEXEC_DIR=/usr/lib/hadoop/libexec && /usr/lib/hadoop/sbin/hadoop-daemon.sh start namenode -upgrade"

    where <HDFS_USER> is the HDFS service user. For example, hdfs.

    To check if the Upgrade is in progress, check that the "\previous" directory has been created in \NameNode and \JournalNode directories. The "\previous" directory contains a snapshot of the data before upgrade.

    [Note]Note

    In a NameNode HA configuration, this NameNode will not enter the standby state as usual. Rather, this NameNode will immediately enter the active state, perform an upgrade of its local storage directories, and also perform an upgrade of the shared edit log. At this point, the standby NameNode in the HA pair is still down. It will be out of sync with the upgraded active NameNode. To synchronize the active and standby NameNode, re-establishing HA, re-bootstrap the standby NameNode by running the NameNode with the '-bootstrapStandby' flag. Do NOT start this standby NameNode with the '-upgrade' flag. 

    su -l <HDFS_USER> -c "hdfs namenode -bootstrapStandby -force"

    where <HDFS_USER> is the HDFS service user. For example, hdfs.

    The bootstrapStandby command will download the most recent fsimage from the active NameNode into the $dfs.name.dir directory of the standby NameNode. You can enter that directory to make sure the fsimage has been successfully downloaded. After verifying, start the ZKFailoverController via Ambari, then start the standby NameNode via Ambari. You can check the status of both NameNodes using the Web UI.

  6. Start all DataNodes.

    su -l <HDFS_USER> -c "/usr/lib/hadoop/sbin/hadoop-daemon.sh --config /etc/hadoop/conf start datanode"

    where <HDFS_USER> is the HDFS service user. For example, hdfs.

    The NameNode will send an upgrade command to DataNodes after receiving block reports.

  7. Prepare the NameNode to work with Ambari:

    1. Open the Ambari Web GUI. If it has been open throughout the process, clear your browser cache, then refresh.

    2. On the Services view, choose HDFS to open the HDFS service.

    3. Restart the HDFS service. Restarting HDFS restarts all NameNodes, DataNodes, and JournalNodes.

    4. Run the Service Check, using Actions > Run Service Check. Makes sure it passes.

  8. After the DataNodes are started, HDFS exits safemode. To monitor the status, run the following command:

    sudo su -l <HDFS_USER> -c "hdfs dfsadmin -safemode get"

    where <HDFS_USER> is the HDFS service user. For example, hdfs.

    Depending on the size of your system, a response may not display for up to 10 minutes. When HDFS exits safemode, the following message displays:

    Safe mode is OFF

  9. Make sure that the HDFS upgrade was successful. Repeat step 5 in Preparing for the Upgrade to create new versions of the logs and reports. Substitute "new" for "old" in the file names as necessary.

  10. Compare the old and new versions of the following:

    • dfs-old-fsck-1.log versus dfs-new-fsck-1.log.

      The files should be identical unless the hadoop fsck reporting format has changed in the new version.

    • dfs-old-lsr-1.log versus dfs-new-lsr-1.log.

      The files should be identical unless the format of hadoop fs -lsr reporting or the data structures have changed in the new version.

    • dfs-old-report-1.log versus fs-new-report-1.log

      Make sure all DataNodes previously belonging to the cluster are up and running.

  11. Make the following config changes required for Application Timeline Server. Use the Ambari web UI to navigate to the service dashboard and add/modify the following configurations: 

    YARN (Custom yarn-site.xml)

yarn.timeline-service.leveldb-timeline-store.path=/var/log/hadoop-yarn/timeline
yarn.timeline-service.leveldb-timeline-store.ttl-interval-ms=300000
** If you are upgrading to HDP 2.1.3 or higher, use the following setting: yarn.timeline-service.store-class=org.apache.hadoop.yarn.server.timeline.LeveldbTimelineStore**
** If you are upgrading to HDP 2.1.2, use the following setting: yarn.timeline-service.store-class=org.apache.hadoop.yarn.server.applicationhistoryservice.timeline.LeveldbTimelineStore **
yarn.timeline-service.ttl-enable=true
yarn.timeline-service.ttl-ms=2678400000
yarn.timeline-service.generic-application-history.store-class=org.apache.hadoop.yarn.server.applicationhistoryservice.NullApplicationHistoryStore
yarn.timeline-service.webapp.address=<PUT_THE_FQDN_OF_ATS_HOST_NAME_HERE>:8188
yarn.timeline-service.webapp.https.address=<PUT_THE_FQDN_OF_ATS_HOST_NAME_HERE>:8190
yarn.timeline-service.address=<PUT_THE_FQDN_OF_ATS_HOST_NAME_HERE>:10200

HIVE (hive-site.xml)
hive.execution.engine=mr
hive.exec.failure.hooks=org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.hooks.ATSHook
hive.exec.post.hooks=org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.hooks.ATSHook
hive.exec.pre.hooks=org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.hooks.ATSHook
hive.tez.container.size=<map-container-size>
        *If mapreduce.map.memory.mb > 2GB then set it equal to mapreduce.map.memory. Otherwise, set it equal to mapreduce.reduce.memory.mb*
hive.tez.java.opts=-server -Xmx800m -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -XX:NewRatio=8 -XX:+UseNUMA -XX:+UseParallelGC
    [Note]Note

    Use configuration values appropriate for your environment. For example, the value "800" in the preceding example is an example, not a requirement.

  12. Using Ambari Web, navigate to Services > Hive > Configs > Advanced and verify that the following properties are set to their default values: 

    Hive (Advanced)
hive.security.authorization.manager=org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.security.authorization.StorageBasedAuthorizationProvider
hive.security.metastore.authorization.manager=org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.security.authorization.StorageBasedAuthorizationProvider
hive.security.authenticator.manager=org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.security.ProxyUserAuthenticator
    [Note]Note

    The Security Wizard enables Hive authorization. The default values for these properties changed in Hive-0.12. If you are upgrading Hive from 0.12 to 0.13 in a secure cluster, you should not need to change the values. If upgrading from Hive-older than version 0.12 to Hive-0.12 or greater in a secure cluster, you will need to correct the values.

  13. If YARN is installed in your HDP 2.0 stack, and the Application Timeline Server (ATS) components are not , then you must create and install ATS service and host components via API by running the following commands on the server that will host the YARN application timeline server in your cluster. Be sure to replace <your_ambari_server_host>, <your_cluster_name>, and <your_ATS_component_hostname> with host names appropriate for your envrionment.

    [Note]Note

    Ambari does not currently support ATS in a kerberized cluster. If you are upgrading YARN in a kerberized cluster, skip this step.

    1. Create the ATS Service Component.

      curl --user admin:admin -H "X-Requested-By: ambari" -i -X POST  http://<your_ambari_server_host>:8080/api/v1/clusters/<your_cluster_name>/services/YARN/components/APP_TIMELINE_SERVER

    2. Create the ATS Host Component.

      curl --user admin:admin -H "X-Requested-By: ambari" -i -X POST http://<your_ambari_server_host>:8080/api/v1/clusters/<your_cluster_name>/hosts/<your_ATS_component_hostname>/host_components/APP_TIMELINE_SERVER

    3. Install the ATS Host Component.

      curl --user admin:admin -H "X-Requested-By: ambari" -i -X PUT -d '{ "HostRoles": { "state":  "INSTALLED"}}' http://<your_ambari_server_host>:8080/api/v1/clusters/<your_cluster_name>/hosts/<your_ATS_component_hostname>/host_components/APP_TIMELINE_SERVER
    [Note]Note

    curl commands use the default username/password = admin/admin. To run the curl commands using non-default credentials, modify the --user option to use your Ambari administrator credentials. For example: --user <ambari_admin_username>:<ambari_admin_password> .

  14. Using Ambari Web > Services > Service Actions, start YARN.

  15. Using Ambari Web > Services > Service Actions, start MapReduce2.

  16. Using Ambari Web > Services > Service Actions, start HBase and ensure the service check passes.

  17. Upgrade Oozie.

    [Note]Note

    You must replace your Oozie configuration after upgrading.

    1. Perform the following preparation steps on each oozie server host:

      1. Copy files from the backup folder /conf to /etc/oozie/conf directory.

        cp <oozie-conf-bak>/oozie-site.xml /etc/oozie/conf
        cp <oozie-conf-bak>/oozie-env.sh /etc/oozie/conf/oozie-env.sh
        chmod -R 777 /etc/alternatives/oozie-tomcat-conf/conf
        rm -rf /usr/lib/oozie/conf
        ln -s /etc/oozie/conf /usr/lib/oozie/conf

      2. Create /usr/lib/oozie/libext-upgrade21 directory.

        mkdir /usr/lib/oozie/libext-upgrade21

      3. Copy the JDBC jar of your Oozie database to both /usr/lib/oozie/libext-upgrade21 and /usr/lib/oozie/libtools.

        For example, if you are using MySQL, copy your mysql-connector-java.jar.

      4. Copy these files to /usr/lib/oozie/libext-upgrade21 directory

        cp /usr/lib/hadoop/lib/hadoop-lzo*.jar /usr/lib/oozie/libext-upgrade21
        cp /usr/share/HDP-oozie/ext-2.2.zip /usr/lib/oozie/libext-upgrade21

      5. Grant read/write access to the Oozie user.

        chmod -R 777 /usr/lib/oozie/libext-upgrade21

    2. Upgrade steps:

      1. On the Ambari Services view, make sure YARN and MapReduce2 are running.

      2. Make sure that the Oozie service is stopped.

      3. Upgrade Oozie. You must be the Oozie service user. On the Oozie server host:

        sudo su -l <OOZIE_USER> -c"/usr/lib/oozie/bin/ooziedb.sh upgrade -run"

        where <OOZIE_USER> is the Oozie service user. For example, oozie.

        Make sure that the output contains the string "Oozie DB has been upgraded to Oozie version <OOZIE Build Version>.

      4. Prepare the Oozie WAR file, run as root:

        [Note]Note

        The Oozie server must be not running for this step. If you get the message "ERROR: Stop Oozie first", it means the script still thinks it's running. Check, and if needed, remove the process id (pid) file indicated in the output.

        sudo su -l <OOZIE_USER> -c "/usr/lib/oozie/bin/oozie-setup.sh prepare-war -d /usr/lib/oozie/libext-upgrade21"

        where <OOZIE_USER> is the Oozie service user. For example, oozie.

        Make sure that the output contains the string "New Oozie WAR file added".

      5. Using Ambari Web UI Services > Oozie > Configs, expand Advanced, then edit the following properties:

        1. In oozie.service.coord.push.check.requeue.interval, replace the existing property value with the following one:

          30000

        2. In oozie.service.SchemaService.wf.ext.schemas, append (using copy/paste) to the existing property value the following string:

          shell-action-0.2.xsd,oozie-sla-0.1.xsd,oozie-sla-0.2.xsd,hive-action-0.3.xsd
          [Note]Note

          If you have customized schemas, append this string to your custom schema name string.

          Do not overwrite custom schemas.

          If you have no customized schemas, you can replace the existing string with the following one:

          shell-action-0.1.xsd,email-action-0.1.xsd,hive-action-0.2.xsd,sqoop-action-0.2.xsd,ssh-action-0.1.xsd,distcp-action-0.1.xsd,shell-action-0.2.xsd,oozie-sla-0.1.xsd,oozie-sla-0.2.xsd,hive-action-0.3.xsd

        3. In oozie.service.URIHandlerService.uri.handlers, append to the existing property value the following string:

          org.apache.oozie.dependency.FSURIHandler,org.apache.oozie.dependency.HCatURIHandler

        4. In oozie.services, append to the existing property value the following string:

          org.apache.oozie.service.XLogStreamingService,org.apache.oozie.service.JobsConcurrencyService
          [Note]Note

          If you have customized properties, append this string to your custom property value string.

          Do not overwrite custom properties.

          If you have no customized properties, you can replace the existing string with the following one:

          org.apache.oozie.service.SchedulerService, org.apache.oozie.service.InstrumentationService, org.apache.oozie.service.CallableQueueService, org.apache.oozie.service.UUIDService, org.apache.oozie.service.ELService, org.apache.oozie.service.AuthorizationService, org.apache.oozie.service.UserGroupInformationService, org.apache.oozie.service.HadoopAccessorService, org.apache.oozie.service.URIHandlerService, org.apache.oozie.service.MemoryLocksService, org.apache.oozie.service.DagXLogInfoService, org.apache.oozie.service.SchemaService, org.apache.oozie.service.LiteWorkflowAppService, org.apache.oozie.service.JPAService, org.apache.oozie.service.StoreService, org.apache.oozie.service.CoordinatorStoreService, org.apache.oozie.service.SLAStoreService, org.apache.oozie.service.DBLiteWorkflowStoreService, org.apache.oozie.service.CallbackService, org.apache.oozie.service.ActionService, org.apache.oozie.service.ActionCheckerService, org.apache.oozie.service.RecoveryService, org.apache.oozie.service.PurgeService, org.apache.oozie.service.CoordinatorEngineService, org.apache.oozie.service.BundleEngineService, org.apache.oozie.service.DagEngineService, org.apache.oozie.service.CoordMaterializeTriggerService, org.apache.oozie.service.StatusTransitService, org.apache.oozie.service.PauseTransitService, org.apache.oozie.service.GroupsService, org.apache.oozie.service.ProxyUserService, org.apache.oozie.service.XLogStreamingService, org.apache.oozie.service.JobsConcurrencyService

        5. In oozie.services.ext, append to the existing property value the following string:

          org.apache.oozie.service.PartitionDependencyManagerService,org.apache.oozie.service.HCatAccessorService

        6. After modifying all properties on the Oozie Configs page, scroll down, then choose Save to update oozie.site.xml, using the modified configurations.

      6. Replace the content of /usr/oozie/share in HDFS. On the Oozie server host:

        1. Extract the Oozie sharelib into a tmp folder.

          mkdir -p /tmp/oozie_tmp
cp /usr/lib/oozie/oozie-sharelib.tar.gz /tmp/oozie_tmp
cd /tmp/oozie_tmp
tar xzvf oozie-sharelib.tar.gz

        2. Back up the/user/oozie/share folder in HDFS and then delete it. If you have any custom files in this folder back them up separately and then add them back after the share folder is updated.

          mkdir /tmp/oozie_tmp/oozie_share_backup
chmod 777 /tmp/oozie_tmp/oozie_share_backup
          su -l <HDFS_USER> -c "hdfs dfs -copyToLocal /user/oozie/share /tmp/oozie_tmp/oozie_share_backup"
su -l <HDFS_USER> -c "hdfs dfs -rm -r /user/oozie/share"

          where <HDFS_USER> is the HDFS service user. For example, hdfs.

        3. Add the latest share libs that you extracted in step 1. After you have added the files, modify ownership and acl.

          su -l <HDFS_USER> -c "hdfs dfs -copyFromLocal /tmp/oozie_tmp/share /user/oozie/."
su -l <HDFS_USER> -c "hdfs dfs -chown -R <OOZIE_USER>:<HADOOP_GROUP> /user/oozie" 
su -l <HDFS_USER> -c "hdfs dfs -chmod -R 755 /user/oozie"

          where <HDFS_USER> is the HDFS service user. For example, hdfs.

      7. Use the Services view to start the Oozie service. Make sure that ServiceCheck passes for Oozie.

  18. Update WebHCat.

    1. Modify the webhcat-site config type.

      Using the Ambari web UI, navigate to Services > WebHCat and modify the following configuration:

      Table 2.3. WebHCat Properties to Modify
      Action Property Name Property Value
      Modify templeton.storage.class org.apache.hive.hcatalog.templeton.tool.ZooKeeperStorage

    2. On each WebHCat host, update the Pig and Hive tar bundles, by updating the following files:

      • /apps/webhcat/pig.tar.gz

      • /apps/webhcat/hive.tar.gz

        [Note]Note

        You will find these files only on a host where WebHCat is installed.

      For example, to update a *.tar.gz file:

      1. Move the file to a local directory.

        su -l <HCAT_USER> -c "hadoop --config /etc/hadoop/conf fs -copyToLocal /apps/webhcat/*.tar.gz $<local_backup_dir>"

      2. Remove the old file.

        su -l <HCAT_USER> -c "hadoop --config /etc/hadoop/conf fs -rm /apps/webhcat/*.tar.gz"

      3. Copy the new file.

        su -l <HCAT_USER> -c "hdfs --config /etc/hadoop/conf dfs -copyFromLocal /usr/share/HDP-webhcat/*.tar.gz /apps/webhcat/"

        where <HCAT_USER> is the HCatalog Service user. For example, hcat.

    3. On each WebHCat host, update /app/webhcat/hadoop-streaming.jar file.

      1. Move the file to a local directory.

        su -l <HCAT_USER> -c "hadoop --config /etc/hadoop/conf fs -copyToLocal /apps/webhcat/hadoop-streaming*.jar $<local_backup_dir>"

      2. Remove the old file.

        su -l <HCAT_USER> -c "hadoop --config /etc/hadoop/conf fs -rm /apps/webhcat/hadoop-streaming*.jar"

      3. Copy the new hadoop-streaming.jar file.

        su -l <HCAT_USER> -c "hdfs --config /etc/hadoop/conf dfs -copyFromLocal /usr/lib/hadoop-mapreduce/hadoop-streaming*.jar /apps/webhcat"

        where <HCAT_USER> is the HCatalog Service user. For example, hcat.

  19. Upgrade Flume.

    1. Make a backup copy of the current Flume configuration files, on each Flume host.

      cd /etc/flume/conf
cp flume.conf <flume-conf-backup>/flume.conf
      [Note]Note

      More than one Flume configuration file may exist. Make a backup copy of each one.

    2. Execute the following commands on each Flume host:

      • For RHEL/CentOS/Oracle Linux:

        yum upgrade flume

      • For SLES:

        zypper upgrade flume
zypper remove flume
zypper se -s flume

        You should see Flume in the output. Then, install Flume.

        zypper install flume
        [Important]Important

        When removing and installing packages, rename files in the /conf directory that have .rpmsave extension to original to retain the customized configurations. Alternatively, use the configuration files in the /conf directory that you backed up before upgrading.

    3. Verify that Flume was upgraded correctly by starting a basic example. Flume does not start running immediately after installation/upgrade, by default. To validate the Flume upgrade:

      1. Replace your default conf/flume.conf with the following flume.conf file:

        1. Name the components on this agent
    a1.sources = r1 
    a1.sinks = k1 
    a1.channels = c1
2.Describe/configure the source
    a1.sources.r1.type = seq
3. Describe the sink
    a1.sinks.k1.type = file_roll 
    a1.sinks.k1.channel = c1 
    a1.sinks.k1.sink.directory = /tmp/flume
4. Use a channel which buffers events in memory
    a1.channels.c1.type = memory
5. Bind the source and sink to the channel
    a1.sources.r1.channels = c1 
    a1.sinks.k1.channel = c1

      2. Restart Flume, using Ambari Web.

      3. To verify that data is flowing, examine /tmp/flume to see that any files exist. These files should contain simple, sequential numbers.

      4. Stop Flume.

    4. Copy the backup Flume configuration files you created in Step 17.a back into their original location.

      cd /etc/flume/conf
cp <flume-conf-backup>/flume.conf

  20. If you use Tez as the Hive execution engine, and if the variable hive.server2.enabled.doAs is set to true, you must create a scratch directory on the NameNode host for the username that will run the HiveServer2 service. For example, use the following commands: 

    sudo su -c "hdfs -makedir /tmp/hive-<username>" 
    sudo su -c "hdfs -chmod 777 /tmp/hive-<username>"

    where <username> is the name of the user that runs the HiveServer2 service.

  21. If you use Hue to manage your Stack, you must upgrade the Hue component manaully. For specific upgrade steps, see the instructions to Upgrade Hue.

  22. If you use Mahout, you must upgrade the Mahout component manaully. For specific upgrade steps, see the instructions to Upgrade Mahout.

  23. Using Ambari Web > Services, re-start the remaining services.

  24. The upgrade is now fully functional but not yet finalized. Using the finalize command removes the previous version of the NameNode and DataNode storage directories.

    [Important]Important

    After the upgrade is finalized, the system cannot be rolled back. Usually this step is not taken until a thorough testing of the upgrade has been performed.

    The upgrade must be finalized before another upgrade can be performed.

    [Note]Note

    Directories used by Hadoop 1 services set in /etc/hadoop/conf/taskcontroller.cfg are not automatically deleted after upgrade. Administrators can choose to delete these directories after the upgrade.

    To finalize the upgrade, execute the following command once, on the primary NameNode host in your HDP cluster: 

    sudo su -l <HDFS_USER> -c "hdfs dfsadmin -finalizeUpgrade"

    where <HDFS_USER> is the HDFS service user. For example, hdfs.
