Hi all,
I'm reading the upgrading notes in the NEWS.txt file, but I don't see
how/where the data from the 0.6 cluster is actually migrated.
Current, in the file, it says:
The process to upgrade is:
1) run "nodetool drain" on _each_ 0.6 node. When drain finishes (log
message "Node is drained" appears), stop the process.
2) Convert your storage-conf.xml to the new cassandra.yaml using
"bin/config-converter".
3) Rename any of your keyspace or column family names that do not adhere
to the '^\w+' regex convention.
4) Start up your cluster with the 0.7 version.
5) Initialize your Keyspace and ColumnFamily definitions using
"bin/schematool <host> <jmxport> import". _You only need to do
this to one node_.
I assume the instructions in step 5 refer to new 0.7 node, not the 0.6 node.
Is the idea to install 0.7 alongside the 0.6 instance or to replace
the entire machine/node with a new node running 0.7? If so, is there
a step 1b, which is "install 0.7 code & executables" ?
Thanks
Dave Viner
