Ambari 2.4 has actually added quite a bit of new upgrade functionality and XML 
pack validation as well. It's probably a good time to begin adding some more 
wiki content to cover this. However, to answer your immediate questions below:

1. Yes, you'd need to have the upgrade-1.1.xml in the 
1.0/upgrades/upgrade-1.1.xml.
2. The best way to find out tag usage right now is to look at the existing 
upgrade packs and ask questions to the community. We'll work on adding some 
content to the wiki to cover the basic elements and attributes.

Hi All,

We are currently developing Custom Stack based on Ambari 2.2.0. We are in the 
mist of planning for upgrade version of the Custom Stack.

The closest documentation I could find is at 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AMBARI/How-To+Define+Stacks+and+Services#How-ToDefineStacksandServices-StackAdvisor

Under the heading Stack Upgrades. There consist examples of Upgrade Packs XML. 
However there are a few items which I am still unclear as below,

1. From the contents of 
https://github.com/apache/ambari/blob/branch-2.2.1/ambari-server/src/main/resources/stacks/HDP/2.3/upgrades/upgrade-2.4.xml.

Does it mean that when we rolled out Customer Stack 1.0, we need to include the 
upgrade pack xml along with it already, say for 1.1? Meaning in the Stack 
directory, we would expect 
/var/lib/ambari-server/resources/stacks/CustomStack/1.0/upgrades/upgrade-1.1.xml?

2. Is there a documentation that explains how to use the Upgrade Pack XML? For 
example the tag usage?

Thanks in advance!
