Hi Abhishek, As part of upgrading from phoenix 4.6 to phoenix 4.14 we also faced many issues. and yes, column encoding is one of the reason because of which we were not able to see the data in phoenix tables. We followed the steps listed in
*http://apache-phoenix-user-list.1124778.n5.nabble.com/Issue-in-upgrading-phoenix-java-lang-ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException-SYSTEM-CATALOG-63-tp4768p4780.html <http://apache-phoenix-user-list.1124778.n5.nabble.com/Issue-in-upgrading-phoenix-java-lang-ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException-SYSTEM-CATALOG-63-tp4768p4780.html>* Even after doing all of that we were seeing new issues in upgraded instance: 1) count of index table and original table were not matching. 2) select queries with "col_name = " were not returning any record for few of the rows, even though we can see the record exists. 3) Delete queries with "col_name = " and col_name LIKE queries were also not able to delete few of the records. Finally, we decided to migrate the data to new tables. which is working fine.
