This section contains information about installing and upgrading MapR software. It also contains information about how to migrate data and applications from an Apache Hadoop cluster to a MapR cluster.
Upgrading MapR Core or MEP Components
Depending on your current configuration, you may choose to upgrade the MapR version (MapR Core), ecosystem components, clients, or MapR Monitoring components.
Upgrading MapR Ecosystem Packs
Describes how to upgrade MapR Ecosystem Packs (MEPs), either as part of a MapR Core upgrade or to take advantage of a new MEP for the current version of MapR Core.
Upgrading the MapR Ecosystem Pack Without the MapR Installer
After you upgrade MapR core without using the MapR Installer, you need to upgrade ecosystem components with manual steps. First, verify that your repository is configured to use a MapR Ecosystem Pack (MEP) that is supported by your cluster version. Then, upgrade each component manually.

Upgrading HBase Client and Tools

This section describes how to upgrade HBase Client and other tools without the MapR Installer.

Note that MapR 6.0.x and MapR 6.1 provide Apache HBase-compatible APIs and client interfaces but do not support HBase as an ecosystem component.

Service	Description
HBase Client	Upgrading the HBase Client upgrades both the HBase Shell and the HBase APIs supported for use with MapR-DB binary tables and MapR-DB JSON tables.
HBase Thrift Gateway	HBase Thrift Gateway includes an API and a service that accepts Thrift requests to connect to MapR-DB tables. See Upgrading HBase Thrift Gateway for upgrade information.
HBase REST Gateway	HBase REST Gateway includes an API and a service that accepts REST requests to connect to MapR-DB tables. See Upgrading HBase REST Gateway for upgrade information.
AsyncHBase Libraries	AsyncHBase library provides asynchronous Java APIs to access MapR-DB tables. See Upgrading AsyncHBase Libraries for upgrade information.
