Upgrading Oozie

Follow these instructions to upgrade Oozie to CDH 6 from RPM or Debian Packages.

Upgrading Oozie from an Earlier CDH 6 Release

The steps that follow assume you are upgrading Oozie as part of an overall upgrade to the latest CDH 6 release and have already performed the steps under Upgrading from an Earlier CDH 5 Release to the Latest Release.

To upgrade Oozie to the latest CDH 6 release, proceed as follows.

Step 1: Back Up the Configuration

Back up the Oozie configuration files in /etc/oozie and the Oozie database.

For convenience you may want to save Oozie configuration files in your home directory; you will need them after installing the new version of Oozie.

Step 2: Stop the Oozie Server.

To stop the Oozie Server:

sudo service oozie stop

Step 3: Install Oozie

Follow the procedure under Installing Oozie and then proceed to Configuring Oozie after Upgrading from a CDH 5 Release.

  Important: Configuration files
  • If you install a newer version of a package that is already on the system, configuration files that you have modified will remain intact.
  • If you uninstall a package, the package manager renames any configuration files you have modified from <file> to <file>.rpmsave. If you then re-install the package (probably to install a new version) the package manager creates a new <file> with applicable defaults. You are responsible for applying any changes captured in the original configuration file to the new configuration file. In the case of Ubuntu and Debian upgrades, you will be prompted if you have made changes to a file for which there is a new version. For details, see Automatic handling of configuration files by dpkg.
