    - 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.

Pre-Upgrade Steps for HBase

Complete the following steps before you upgrade HBase with or without the MapR Installer.

About this task

NOTE: You cannot use the MapR installer to upgrade from HBase 0.94.x to HBase 1.1. You must perform a manual installation. Most of the pre-upgrade steps are the same, however.

Procedure

Upgrade your HBase Java applications.
Check your HBase applications for Java APIs that are no longer supported in HBase 1.1. See HBase Java API Support. Then, update the applications to use APIs supported by HBase 1.1 and recompile your applications with HBase 1.1.
If you are upgrading with the installer or manually: Take a snapshot of the hbase volume.
The snapshot creates a backup of the volume data that you can use to recover your data in the event that corruption occurs during the upgrade process. For more information, see Creating a Snapshot.
If you are upgrading with the installer or manually: Create a backup copy of any configuration files that contain customized values.
The configuration files are located in /opt/mapr/hbase/hbase-<version>/conf/. Copy any that you want to back up to another location. If you plan to upgrade with the MapR installer, copy files to a location that is outside the MapR installation directory. After upgrading, you can reapply changes to the updated HBase installation using the backup.
