Chapter 2. Upgrading to HDP 2.6.1

If you already have HDP 2.6.0 installed, upgrading your cluster to HDP 2.6.1 means:

  • Keeping the same configuration files you used for HDP 2.6.0.

  • Keeping the same data and metadata in the same location you used for HDP 2.6.0

  • Installing any new components (added for the first time in HDP 2.6.0) side-by-side with existing components

The following table summarizes HDP 2.6.0-to-2.6.1 upgrade options:

[a] The instructions in this document sometimes refer to an HDP “version” using the HDP #.#.x.y convention. For example, you will see the HDP 2.3.x.y convention to refer to any HDP 2.3 “maintenance” release. Therefore, to use a specific HDP 2.3 maintenance release, be sure to replace 2.3.x.y in the following instructions with the appropriate maintenance version, such as 2.3.0.0 for the HDP 2.3 GA release, or 2.3.2.0 for an HDP 2.3 maintenance release.

[b] A Minor upgrade can be performed from any current maintenance release to any target maintenance release in that minor release. For example, you can go from HDP 2.3.x.y to HDP 2.4.x.y as part of a Minor upgrade.
