Upgrade HDP 1.3 Components

The upgrade process to HDP-2.3.6 involves the following steps. See the HDP-2.3.6 Release Notes for repo information.

RHEL/CentOS/Oracle 6

  1. On all hosts, clean the yum repository.

    yum clean all

  2. Remove your old HDP 1.3 components. This command uninstalls the HDP 1.3 components. It leaves the user data, metadata and modified configurations in place and does not delete them:

    yum erase "hadoop*" "webhcat*" "hcatalog*" "oozie*" "collectd*" "gccxml*" "pig*" "hdfs*" "sqoop*" "zookeeper*" "hbase*" "hive*" "flume*" "mahout*" "hue" "hue-common" "hue-shell" "hdp_mon_nagios_addons"

  3. Remove your old hdp.repo file:

    rm /etc/yum.repos.d/hdp.repo

  4. Install the HDP 2.3.6 repo:

    • Download the hdp.repo file:

      wget -nv http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/HDP/centos6/2.x/updates/2.3.6.0/hdp.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/hdp.repo

    • Confirm the HDP repository is configured.

      yum repolist

      You should see something like this. Verify that you have the HDP-2.3.6.0 directory:

      Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security 
      Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
      * base: mirrors.cat.pdx.edu
      * extras: linux.mirrors.es.net
      * updates: mirrors.usc.edu 
      repo id repo namestatus
      HDP-2.3.6.0 Hortonworks Data Platform Version - HDP-2.3.6.0 
  5. Install the HDP 2.3.6 versions of the components that you want to upgrade. For example, if you installed and want to upgrade all HDP 1.3 components:

    yum install "hadoop" "hadooplzo" "webhcat" "oozie" "collectd" "gccxml" "pig" "sqoop" "zookeeper" "hbase" "hive" "flume" "mahout" "hue" "knox" "hdp_mon_nagios_addons"

  6. Verify that the components were upgraded.

    yum list installed | grep HDP-<old.stack.version.number>

    No component file names should appear in the returned list.
