Upgrading Drill

This section describes how to upgrade Drill without the Installer.

Before you upgrade Drill, complete the pre-upgrade steps.

ATTENTION Due to Drill version changes (3-digit to 4-digit), you cannot upgrade from Drill in EEP 7.0.0 (Drill 1.16.1) to Drill in EEP 7.0.1 (Drill 1.16.1.5) or later. You must perform a new installation of Drill. Alternatively, if you are running Drill on CentOS or RHEL, you can issue the following command as a workaround to upgrade Drill: 
rpm -Uv --<old-package> <path/to/packages>/*.rpm
Complete the following steps on the Drill server and client nodes as root or using sudo to upgrade Drill without the Installer:
  1. To eliminate cached packages and files, issue the following command:
    yum clean all
  2. To upgrade Drill, issue the command appropriate for your system on each Drill node:
    • RedHat/CentOS
      yum update mapr-drill
    • Ubuntu
      sudo apt-get install mapr-drill
    • SLES
      zypper update mapr-drill
      NOTE SLES is supported as of Drill 1.9.0-1703 and Drill 1.10.0-1703.
  3. Complete the post-upgrade steps for Drill.
