Can I upgrade 5.1 to 5.12 directly?

[#1]

Hi,

I have to upgrade an "old" cluster still running a 5.1.x version to (hopefully) the latest minor version available (5.12.1).

Leaving aside compatibility issues on the pig/MR jobs, can i upgrade directly 5.1 -> 5.12 (both Cloudera Manager and CDH) or do I have to perform the upgrade in multiple steps (e.g. 5.1 -> 5.4 -> 5.12)?

Thanks,

parnigot

Hi parnigot,

That upgrade should be fine. You would still be in the same major version.

Here's some more information on upgrades, FYI.
