Duo Zhang commented on HBASE-19997: ----------------------------------- OK the problem is that I forgot to use zk less assignment for 1.4.3. After setting {{hbase.assignment.usezk}} to true, the rolling upgrade works fine. I tried the unload/load way, and also killed a RS directly without unloading its regions, both worked fine, the 1.x master can work together with the 2.x RS. And at last I restarted the master and upgrade them to 2.1.0, the rolling upgrade finished successfully. Will write up a doc about how to do rolling upgrade from 1.x to 2.x soon. And you can also try it [~stack]. And there is a known issue for 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT, the SNAPSHOT suffix will be lost in the master page. Filed HBASE-20784 for it, not a big problem I think. > [rolling upgrade] 1.x => 2.x > ---------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-19997 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-19997 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Umbrella > Reporter: stack > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 2.1.0 > > Attachments: Screenshot from 2018-05-03 14-43-46.png > > > An umbrella issue of issues needed so folks can do a rolling upgrade from > hbase-1.x to hbase-2.x. > (Recent) Notables: > * hbase-1.x can't read hbase-2.x WALs -- hbase-1.x doesn't know the > AsyncProtobufLogWriter class used writing the WAL -- see > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-19166?focusedCommentId=16362897&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-16362897 > for exception. > ** Might be ok... means WAL split fails on an hbase1 RS... must wait till an > hbase-2.x RS picks up the WAL for it to be split. > * hbase-1 can't open regions from tables created by hbase-2; it can't find > the Table descriptor.
