HDP 2.3 to 2.5 Rolling Upgrade MySQL Requirements

avatar

Hi,

I am upgrading my cluster since HDP 2.1. I used there MySQL version 5.1. Now I am going to upgrade HDP 2.3 to 2.5 using Express Upgrade. During install of HDP 2.5 packages I got an error that some mysql packages require mysql-community-common and devel of version 5.7.9. There is nothing about MySQL upgrade is required in the documentation. My question is: does HDP 2.5 contains and upgrades MySQL? and which version of MySQL do I need to have before upgrade?

I am using MySQL for Ranger and Hive Metastore.

Thanks for the answer.

Actually the problem has gone, because I downgraded MySQL to version 5.7.9 (which was required) from 5.7.13. The problem was about requirements, Ambari needed mysql-community-common and devel of version 5.7.9.

you're required to have MySQL 5.1 and up https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDP2/HDP-2.5.0/bk_release-notes/content/ch01s02s03.html

HDP upgrade does not upgrade MySQL for you. Consider providing the error log for us to help debug your issues.
