Hi Jerry, R efer to the following links for reference: http://www.michael-noll.com/blog/2011/08/23/performing-an-hdfs-upgrade-of-an-hadoop-cluster/ http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hadoop_Upgrade
Notes: 1. the hadoop version used in the doc may be different from yours, but they are good references to understand the basic flow. 2. suggest create a test cluster that could mimic your production environment, try it out on the test cluster before on the production. 3. backup your namenode meta data, which may help you to recover. 4. the official rollback functionality does not work in hadoop 1.0.1 so be prepared if the upgrade failed.
