That's why HDP is released in "distributions", a line-up of components, tuned, and tested to work together. That said, some stand-alone components like Knox or Flume can be upgraded separately, but manually, it's not supported by Ambari, and not supported by Hortonworks.</P> Mon, 20 Jun 2016 16:01:51 GMT pminovic 2016-06-20T16:01:51Z https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Support-Questions/Update-only-one-component-of-HDP/m-p/146812#M109365 <P>Hi,</P><P>Is it possible to update only a component of HDP (ex.
