Upgrading from HDP 2.3.x to HDP 2.3.6

Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) 2.3.6 is the first maintenance release that aligns the 2.3.x core with the 2.4.x core; see New Features for details.

These Release Notes include abbreviated upgrade instructions; for full upgrade instructions, use the Non-Ambari Upgrade Guide.

HDP 2.3.6 is a maintenance release of HDP 2.3.x. If you already have HDP 2.3.x installed, upgrading your cluster to HDP 2.3.6 requires the following actions:

  • Keeping the same configuration files you used for HDP 2.3.x

  • Keeping the same data and metadata in the same location you used for HDP 2.3.x

  • Installing any new components (added for the first time in HDP 2.3.6) side-by-side with existing components

The following table summarizes HDP 2.2.x-to-2.3.6 upgrade options:
