Hi Enrico,

Thanks for your response.

I’ve following queries on top of your response:

  *   In general is community planning to test and support issues in rollback 
of Bookkeeper down the lane?
  *   We might not frequently upgrade Bookkeeper unless it is demanded by 
Pulsar. In that case, we might skip few intermediate versions and upgrade 
directly to an higher version. In that case, are we foreseeing any 
compatibility change that will cause hinderance during rollback?
  *   I’ve not fully gone through the internal working of Bookkeeper. But I 
would like to understand, can old version of bookie(after rollback) access the 
new data stored by upgraded bookie?

Regards,
Subash Kunjupillai

Hi Subash,
usually by default there is no problem in rolling back to the previous version.
For instance if you are running 4.9 and you upgrade to 4.10 your bookies you 
can downgrade to 4.9 just by using the old code.
This is because we introduce new features but they are disabled by default at 
least for one release.

But I suggest you to perform a test about the rollback before going to 
production

Enrico

Hi,

We are planning to introduce Apache Pulsar in our product. In general we always 
support upgrade and rollback of our product.

So I'm trying to understand is there any defined steps provided to support 
rollback of Apache Bookeeper to its earlier version after completing full 
cluster upgrade? I was not able to find those information in 
https://bookkeeper.apache.org/docs/latest/admin/upgrade/<https://slack-redir.net/link?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbookkeeper.apache.org%2Fdocs%2Flatest%2Fadmin%2Fupgrade%2F&v=3>
