Core Support and Lifecycle Status

This page shows the support and lifecycle status for all versions of MapR Data Platform core software.

IMPORTANT Release 6.x user documentation is no longer being updated. As a result, this page might be out of date. For the most current compatibility information, see the corresponding page under Interoperability Matrices.

Whenever possible, upgrade to the latest version of data-fabric core so that you can take advantage of new features, usability enhancements, and defect repair. If your installed version of core is "in maintenance," you have a limited amount of time to plan and execute a core upgrade.

For information about the core lifecycle, see Understand the Core Lifecycle. For core compatibility with the leading Linux operating systems, see Operating System Support Matrix.
