The low-risk approach would be to change one thing at a time, but I don't think there's a technical reason you couldn't change the commit log and data directory locations while updating to a new version. - EF On 08/08/2016 07:58 AM, Timon Wong wrote: Thank you! We would do a patch level

Thank you! We would do a patch level upgrade, from 2.2.1 to 2.2.7 (the latest stable). Besides, we want to adjust both `commitlog_directory` and `data_file_directories` settings (separate them into two better IOPS volumes), and we assumed they should be done before or after upgrade? On Sun, Aug

You didn't mention which version you're upgrading to, but generally you shouldn't add or remove nodes while the nodes your cluster is not all on on the same version. So if you're going to add nodes, you should do that before you upgrade the first node, or after you have upgraded all of them.
