This is prudent advice, but a rolling upgrade from DDC 3.7.0 to Apache Cassandra 3.10, after updating your sources.list should also work fine. Just back up all your configurations, and if your data is mission critical, follow good backup strategy for that, too. Testing the upgrade in your production staging environment is also very prudent.
The DDC deb packages were built directly from the Apache Cassandra debian/ contents, after a little patching out of the java dependency. The default configuration file and data locations are identical. Do keep in mind, if you have a custom JDK install that didn't come from a deb package that satisfies the java dependency, the Apache Cassandra deb will pull in OpenJDK - you can use it or not by setting the appropriate configurations. http://cassandra.apache.org/download/ has the Apache Cassandra 3.10 sources list and gpg key info for deb installations. -- Kind regards, Michael On 04/07/2017 11:36 AM, daemeon reiydelle wrote: > Having done variants of this, I would suggest you bring up new nodes at > approximately the same Apache version as a separate data center, in your > same cluster.
