> There is an issue regarding the way services are condrestart after an upgrade.
> To illustrate this issue, here is an upgrade sequence extracted from a very
> verbose rpm upgrade session of hadoop and hadoop-jobtacker:
> {noformat}
> %pre(hadoop-X)
> installation of hadoop-X files
> %post(hadoop-X)
> %pre(hadoop-jobtracker-X)
> install of hadoop-jobtracker-X files
> %post(hadoop-jobtracker-X)
> %preun(hadoop-jobtracker-X-1)
> removal of hadoop-jobtracker-X-1 files
> %postun(hadoop-jobtracker-X-1) => jobtracker service is restarted
> %preun(hadoop-X-1)
> removal of hadoop-X-1 files
> %postun(hadoop-X-1)
> {noformat}
> So when the jobtracker is condrestart, both jars of hadoop X and X-1 are
> presents. And if the jars have different versions, because of the way hadoop
> script pick up jars, the older version will be picked up first. There may
> also be other issues.
> But this defeat the purpose of doing a condrestart.
> I am not sure yet how to go about this issue, but here are some ideas:
> * We don't deal with it. Bigtop stable releases only deal with bugfixes and
> we don't support upgrade between major Bigtop versions. Since there wouldn't
> be any bump in the jars' versions, this issue would not happen
> * We stop doing condrestart on upgrade
> * We push back the init scripts in their main package. But then, doing a
> chkconfig on install/upgrade may be a bad idea
> * Do an ugly hack by moving the %postun of the service packages directly to
> the main package (with a if [ -x] around it for each service)
> All ideas are welcome!
> Note: I took hadoop as an example, but it can happen to any of our package
> which also provide a service
> PS: This issue may need also to be confirmed on ubuntu/debian. I am not sure
> how the upgrade process is sequenced
