Am I on the latest versions?

I'd like to make sure I'm up-to-date with some Hortonworks-provided "add-ons" for the HDP.

I have built a HDP 2.5 (EDW/ETL) environment, starting with the Data Cloud, following these directions: http://hortonworks.github.io/hdp-aws/launch/

Then I added Solr, following these notes, plus some minor modifications that I could elaborate on later: http://hortonworks.com/hadoop-tutorial/searching-data-solr/

That installs Solr 5.2.1, from 2015-06-14. Is a Hortonworks/Lucidworks Solr package from the 6.x branch available yet?

Then I added HDF, mostly following https://community.hortonworks.com/articles/44060/quickly-adding-hdf-to-hdp-25-sandbox.html

Because I couldn't view output in the provenance viewer, I migrated to HDF-2.0.1. I'm happy with HDF now, but does this HDF migration path sound OK:

Stop NiFi server process
Repeat same HDF installation, using http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com.s3.amazonaws.com/HDF/centos7/2.x/updates/2.0.1.0/HDF-2.0.1.0-centos7-tars-tarball.tar.gz
Update java packages to 1.8 with yum
Use alternatives to point to java 1.8
Restart NiFi... nothing came up when I opened a new browser tab, so I (gasp) rebooted

Hey @Mark Miller, we are not planning to ship Solr 6.x until late next year.

Thanks. By the way, does the Hortonworks/Lucidworks connector I'm using expose a full Fusion front end? If not, do you know of any tutorial for adding Fusion on after the fact?
