> Storm should support rolling upgrade/downgrade of storm cluster.
> ----------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: STORM-634
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-634
> Project: Apache Storm
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Parth Brahmbhatt
> Assignee: Parth Brahmbhatt
>
> Currently when a new version of storm is released in order to upgrade
> existing storm clusters users need to backup their existing topologies , kill
> all the topologies , perform the upgrade and resubmit all the topologies.
> This is painful and results in downtime which may not be acceptable for
> "Always alive" production systems.
> Storm should support a rolling upgrade/downgrade deployment process to avoid
> these downtimes and to make the transition to a different version effortless.
> Based on my initial attempt the primary issue seem to be the java
> serialization used to serialize java classes like StormBase, Assignment,
> WorkerHeartbeat which is then stored in zookeeper. When deserializing if the
> serial versions do not match the deserialization fails resulting in processes
> just getting killed indefinitely. We need to change the Utils/serialize and
> Utils/deserialize so it can support non java serialization mechanism like
> json.
