You can copy data directly from one cluster to another using distcp for HDFS files and CopyTable for HBase tables. You can copy Hive tables using export/import of tables. Obviously it's not practical for a large amount of data. For "in-place migration", upgrading binaries, keeping data as-is, I agree with Artem and Timothy that it's the best to engage Support, otherwise you can run into a lot of troubles, and even damage or lose your data.</P> Sat, 14 May 2016 08:20:32 GMT https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Support-Questions/Upgrading-from-Pivotal-HD-to-Pivotal-Hortonworks-HDP/m-p/146412#M108979 pminovic 2016-05-14T08:20:32Z https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Support-Questions/Upgrading-from-Pivotal-HD-to-Pivotal-Hortonworks-HDP/m-p/146413#M108980 <P>I am also looking for some documentation or proven strategy for this upgrade/migration from PHD to HDP. </P> Wed, 08 Jun 2016 01:05:06 GMT https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Support-Questions/Upgrading-from-Pivotal-HD-to-Pivotal-Hortonworks-HDP/m-p/146413#M108980 milindmore 2016-06-08T01:05:06Z https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Support-Questions/Upgrading-from-Pivotal-HD-to-Pivotal-Hortonworks-HDP/m-p/146414#M108981 <P>You need to engage Hortonworks Professional Services and your current Pivotal support team.
