    - Upgrading the Ezmeral Ecosystem Pack 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 Ezmeral Ecosystem Pack (EEP).
    - Upgrading the Ezmeral 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 an Ezmeral Ecosystem Pack (EEP) that is supported by your cluster version. Then, upgrade each component manually.

Preparing to Upgrade the Ezmeral Ecosystem Pack

Complete these pre-upgrade steps for each ecosystem component in the EEP that you want to upgrade.

For the components provided in each EEP, see the EEP Release Notes.

These steps are intended primarily for ecosystem-component upgrades performed manually (without the MapR Installer). However, you need to perform some pre-upgrade steps even if you are upgrading using the MapR Installer.

Stopping each service is optional if you are using the MapR Installer because the Installer stops all services before upgrading. But the MapR Installer does NOT back up configuration files.

IMPORTANT Regardless of the upgrade method that you use, follow the pre-upgrade steps for backing up your configuration files before upgrading. The upgrade process replaces your current configuration files with new configuration files that contain default values for the release to which are upgrading. Any custom settings are lost and must be migrated manually as part of the post-upgrade steps.
