[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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
