    - Upgrading the MEP With the MapR Installer
      If the cluster that you want to upgrade was installed using the MapR Installer, you can use the MapR Installer to upgrade the MapR Expansion Pack (MEP).
    - Upgrading the MEP Without the MapR Installer
      After you upgrade MapR core without using the MapR Installer, you need to upgrade ecosystems components with manual steps. First, verify that your repository is configured to use a MapR Expansion Pack (MEP) that is supported by your cluster version. Then, upgrade each component manually.
    - Finishing the MEP Upgrade
      Complete the post-upgrade steps for each ecosystem component that was upgraded.
- Migrating to MapR
  Provides instructions for migrating business-critical data and applications from an Apache Hadoop cluster to a MapR cluster.
- Applying a Patch
  You can apply a patch by using the MapR Installer, by using the command line (a manual process), or by using a MapR Installer Stanza.

Preparing to Upgrade the MEP

Complete these pre-upgrade steps for each component in the MapR Expansion Pack (MEP) that you want to upgrade.

For the components provided in each MEP, see the MapR Expansion Pack Release Notes.

Unless specified otherwise, these steps apply to ecosystem component upgrades performed with the MapR Installer or without the MapR Installer (using manual steps).
