Getting Ready to Upgrade

HDP Stack upgrade involves upgrading from HDP 2.1 to HDP-2.3.2 versions and adding the new HDP-2.3 services. These instructions change your configurations.

	Note
	You must use kinit before running the commands as any particular user.

Hardware recommendations

Although there is no single hardware requirement for installing HDP, there are some basic guidelines. The HDP packages for a complete installation of HDP-2.3.2 will take up about 2.5 GB of disk space.

The first step is to ensure you keep a backup copy of your HDP 2.1 configurations.

	Note
	The `su` commands in this section use keywords to represent the Service user. For example, "hdfs" is used to represent the HDFS Service user. If you are using another name for your Service users, you will need to substitute your Service user name in each of the `su` commands.

Back up the HDP directories for any hadoop components you have installed.
The following is a list of all HDP directories:
- /etc/hadoop/conf
- /etc/hbase/conf
- /etc/hive-hcatalog/conf
- /etc/hive-webhcat/conf
- /etc/accumulo/conf
- /etc/hive/conf
- /etc/pig/conf
- /etc/sqoop/conf
- /etc/flume/conf
- /etc/mahout/conf
- /etc/oozie/conf
- /etc/hue/conf
- /etc/zookeeper/conf
- /etc/tez/conf
- /etc/storm/conf
- Optional - Back up your userlogs directories, ${mapred.local.dir}/userlogs.
Run the fsck command as the HDFS Service user and fix any errors. (The resulting file contains a complete block map of the file system.)
su - hdfs -c "hdfs fsck / -files -blocks -locations > dfs-old-fsck-1.log"
Use the following instructions to compare status before and after the upgrade.
The following commands must be executed by the user running the HDFS service (by default, the user is hdfs).
1. Capture the complete namespace of the file system. (The following command does a recursive listing of the root file system.)
  Important
  Make sure the NameNode is started.
  su - hdfs -c "hdfs dfs -ls -R / > dfs-old-lsr-1.log"
  Note
  In secure mode you must have Kerberos credentials for the hdfs user.
2. Run the report command to create a list of DataNodes in the cluster.
  su - "hdfs dfsadmin -c "-report > dfs-old-report-1.log"
3. Optional: You can copy all or unrecoverable only data storelibext-customer directory in HDFS to a local file system or to a backup instance of HDFS.
4. Optional: You can also repeat the steps 3 (a) through 3 (c) and compare the results with the previous run to ensure the state of the file system remained unchanged.
Save the namespace by executing the following commands:
su - hdfs
hdfs dfsadmin -safemode enter
hdfs dfsadmin -saveNamespace
Backup your NameNode metadata.
1. Copy the following checkpoint files into a backup directory:
  The NameNode metadata is stored in a directory specified in the hdfs-site.xml configuration file under the configuration value "dfs.namenode.dir".
  For example, if the configuration value is:
```
<property>
  <name>dfs.namenode.name.dir</name>
  <value>/hadoop/hdfs/namenode</value>
</property>
```
  Then, the NameNode metadata files are all housed inside the directory /hadooop.hdfs/namenode.
2. Store the layoutVersion of the namenode.
  ${dfs.namenode.name.dir}/current/VERSION
Finalize any prior HDFS upgrade, if you have not done so already.
su - hdfs -c "hdfs dfsadmin -finalizeUpgrade"

	Important
Make sure the NameNode is started.

If you have the Hive component installed, back up the Hive Metastore database.

The following instructions are provided for your convenience. For the latest backup instructions, see your database documentation.

Verify that edit logs in ${dfs.namenode.name.dir}/current/edits* are empty.
1. Run: hdfs oev -i ${dfs.namenode.name.dir}/current/edits_inprogress_* -o edits.out
2. Verify edits.out file. It should only have OP_START_LOG_SEGMENT transaction. For example:
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<EDITS>
<EDITS_VERSION>-56</EDITS_VERSION>
<RECORD>
<OPCODE>OP_START_LOG_SEGMENT</OPCODE>
<DATA>
<TXID>5749</TXID>
</DATA>
</RECORD>
```
3. If edits.out has transactions other than OP_START_LOG_SEGMENT, run the following steps and then verify edit logs are empty.
  - Start the existing version NameNode.
  - Ensure there is a new FS image file.
  - Shut the NameNode down:
    hdfs dfsadmin – saveNamespace

Rename or delete any paths that are reserved in the new version of HDFS.

When upgrading to a new version of HDFS, it is necessary to rename or delete any paths that are reserved in the new version of HDFS. If the NameNode encounters a reserved path during upgrade, it will print an error such as the following:

/.reserved is a reserved path and .snapshot is a reserved path 
component in this version of HDFS. 

Please rollback and delete or rename this path, or upgrade with the 
-renameReserved key-value pairs option to automatically rename these 
paths during upgrade.

Specifying -upgrade -renameReserved optional key-value pairs causes the NameNode to automatically rename any reserved paths found during startup.

For example, to rename all paths named .snapshot to .my-snapshot and change paths named .reserved to .my-reserved, specify -upgrade -renameReserved .snapshot=.my-snapshot,.reserved=.my-reserved.

If no key-value pairs are specified with -renameReserved, the NameNode will then suffix reserved paths with:

.<LAYOUT-VERSION>.UPGRADE_RENAMED

For example: .snapshot.-51.UPGRADE_RENAMED.

Note

We recommend that you perform a -saveNamespace before renaming paths (running -saveNamespace appears in a previous step in this procedure). This is because a data inconsistency can result if an edit log operation refers to the destination of an automatically renamed file.

Also note that running -renameReserved will rename all applicable existing files in the cluster. This may impact cluster applications.

If you are on JDK 1.6, upgrade the JDK on all nodes to JDK 1.7 or JDK 1.8 before upgrading HDP.

	Note
	In secure mode you must have Kerberos credentials for the hdfs user.
