Also, in theory if you have at least 5 nodes in the cluster one node down at a time doesn't stop your cluster from working properly.

You could do the following node by node which I have done several times:

1. Stop Riak on the upgrading node and in another node mark the
   upgrading node as down (riak-admin down riak@upgrading-node)
2. Upgrade Riak on that node to version 1.3.2, start it up and wait
   till it is completely operative (riak_kv is up and all transfers are
   finished, check by typing "riak-admin transfers")
3. For Riak 1.3.2 once the step is over, type "riak-admin
   reformat-indexes" and tail -f /var/log/riak/console.log which should
   be done really fast if there isn't anything to fix.
4. Do 1 to 3 per node.
5. Do 1 and 2 but for for Riak 1.4.1.

Same here, except that Riak 1.3.2 did that for me automatically. As Jeremiah mentioned, you should go first to 1.3.2 on all nodes, per node the first time Riak starts it will take some time upgrading the 2i indexes storage format, if you see any weirdness then execute "riak-admin reformat-indexes" as soon as you upgrade a node, 1 by 1.

Before you even start read the release notes for each major version besides the rolling upgrade doc:

*Riak 1.3.2:* https://github.com/basho/riak/blob/1.3/RELEASE-NOTES.md
*Riak 1.4.1:* https://github.com/basho/riak/blob/1.4/RELEASE-NOTES.md

HTH,

Having done a similar upgrade, a gotcha to keep in mind:


"Note for Secondary Index users
If you use Riak's Secondary Indexes and are upgrading from a version prior to Riak version 1.3.1, you need to reformat the indexes using the riak-admin reformat-indexes command"

    From
    http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/ops/running/rolling-upgrades/ it looks
    like you should upgrade to 1.3.2 and then 1.4.1

    Depending on how badly you need the extra capacity, it would
    probably be better to start by upgrading all nodes and then
    adding the new one.

    Hi riak peoples,
    I'm in the process of adding a new node to a aging (1 node)
    cluster.  I would like to know what would be the prefered
    incrementing upgrade to get all my nodes on the latest riak
    version.  The best scenario would also have the least downtime.
     The old node is at riak version 1.2.1.

    My actual plan is:

    - install riak 1.4.1 on the new node
    - add the new 1.4.1 node to the old 1.2.1 cluster.
    - bring the 1.2.1 node offline
    - upgrade the 1.2.1 node to 1.4.1
    - put the upgraded node back online

    will this work?
    thanks!
