Question

我打算将DSE 4.8升级到DSE 5.0到DSE 5.1 。目前，我将DSE4.8用于具有3个节点的单个数据中心。请建议我逐步升级DSE。我查看了有关Datastax的DSE 5.0升级文章，这篇文章对于理解起来有点复杂。

我正在使用 Java 1.8安装到我的所有3个节点。和使用Linux。提前谢谢。

Answer 1

We just did this activity (actually went from 4.8.13 to 5.1.7 but had to "hop" through 5.0.X first). I'm not sure if you can attach a document to these so this may seem sort of messy. Here is the 4.8 - 5.0 upgrade components. It, of course, has some assumptions (like it's on Linux, you're using RPMs, etc.). Let me know if you have questions outside this forum and I'll gladly help.

Prerequisites 

1.  Ensure you have java version 1.8_0_40 or higher
a.  $ java -version
2.  Ensure you have a backup of the data before starting
a.  Backing up the data ensures there is a rollback plan. While there may be Talena backups available, it is recommended to issue a snapshot as well.


General Restrictions During Upgrade
Below are restrictions to follow until each node is completely upgraded (Upgrades are not considered complete until the SSTables are upgrade).
1.  Do not enable new features
2.  Do not run “nodetool repair”
3.  Do not bootstrap nor decommission nodes
4.  Do not issue DDL or TRUNCATE statements

SOLR Restrictions During Upgrade
Below is a list of SOLR restrictions to follow until each node is completely upgraded. To determine which nodes are SOLR nodes, issue the below command and look for any node that has a “Search” workload.
$ dsetool status

1.  Do not update schemas (schema.xml)
2.  Do not reindex
3.  Do not issue DDL and TRUNCATE statements
Other Restrictions
Below are a list of other general restrictions to follow during the upgrade
1.  Do not change security credentials or permissions until after the upgrade is complete

Driver Restrictions
Check the below URL for driver compatibility. Depending on the driver version, you may need to recompile your client application code.

Preparing To Upgrade
1.  Ensure each node has ample free disk. The amount of disk space varies on multiple factors.
2.  Upgrade all SSTables to ensure they are on the current version This is required for all major Cassandra version changes. If the tables are already upgraded to the latest version, it will return immediately with no action taken. If there are a lot of SSTables to check, provide the “—jobs” option to set the number of SSTables that upgrade simultaneously (the default is 2).
a.  $ nodetool -u <username> -pw <password> upgradesstables
3.  Run “nodetool repair” on each node to ensure they are all in sync.
4.  Back up all configuration files on each node
a.  /etc/default/dse
b.  /etc/dse/dse.yaml
c.  /etc/dse/Cassandra/Cassandra.yaml
d.  /etc/dse/Cassandra/Cassandra-env.sh


Upgrade From 4.8 to 5.0
Follow the below steps on each node to upgrade. Some warning messages may be displayed during and after the upgrade.
1.  Upgrade order matters. Upgrade in this order:
a.  If there are multiple datacenters, upgrade every node in one datacenter before upgrading another datacenter. 
2.  Upgrade Order:
a.  DSE Analytics
b.  Transactional/DSE Graph
c.  DSE Search/SOLR
3.  Take a backup of each node
a.  $ nodetool -u <username> -pw <password> snapshot -t db_pre_50_upgrade

ONE NODE AT A TIME
4.  Run nodetool drain (this will effectively disable this node for further connections/use until restarted)
a.  $ nodetool -u <username> -pw <password> drain
5.  Stop the node
a.  # service dse stop
6.  Install new product (assuming not in satellite)
a.  # yum install *.rpm 
Note:
1)  I noticed when I tried to upgrade with the above command, I received an error regarding dependencies with dse-demos (dse-4.8.13 (at least in the lab) had dse-demos module installed, however dse-5.0 didn’t have this rpm so it flagged an error). To get around the problem, I did a “yum remove dse-demo*” first (which also removed dse-full) before I did the “yum install *.rpm”.

2)  Lab config files that were modified are listed below:
warning: /etc/dse/cassandra/cassandra-env.sh created as /etc/dse/cassandra/cassandra-env.sh.rpmnew
warning: /etc/dse/cassandra/cassandra.yaml created as /etc/dse/cassandra/cassandra.yaml.rpmnew

It is advised to use supplied config files and reconcile old values into it v.s. the other way around.

3)  I noticed that even though there wasn’t a warning that this file changed, it did: cassandra-rackdc.properties



7.  Compare and reconcile old configuration files with new ones
a.  diff cassandra.yaml cassandra.yaml.rpmnew | grep -v "^>[ ]*#" | grep -v "^<[ ]*#" > diff.out
8.  Start up Cassandra
9.  Check /var/log/Cassandra/system.log for issues
a.  You will see messages about Cassandra running in degraded mode. This will be the case until all nodes are upgraded

AFTER ALL NODES RUNNING WITH NEW SOFTWARE
After all of the nodes have been restarted with DSE 5.0, the SSTables need to be upgraded. Depending on how many SSTables exist will determine how long the process will take.

On Each Node:
1)  Drop legacy tables:
a.  System_auth.users
b.  System_auth.credentials
c.  System_auth.permissions
Users in Cassandra 3.0 no longer reside in the above tables, instead, the information is populated in the newer tables (mainly system_auth.roles, system_auth.role_members and system_auth.role_permissions);

2)  Upgrade SSTables
a.  $ nodetool -u <username> -pw <password> upgradesstables –jobs <#>
i.  Where <#> is the number of concurrent jobs you’d like to have running to upgrade the sstables. Default is 2. This number can’t be larger than the “concurrent_compactors” parameter in the Cassandra.yaml file. If it is, you’ll see warnings and the number of jobs will be reduced to the concurrent_compactors value.
ii. All nodes can be done simultaneously
iii.    You can “tail” the system.log file or run “nodetool compactionstats” to get an idea of where things are at.
iv. When completed, I noticed a 25% reduction in “data space” consumption.
v.  The lab took about 5 minutes to complete

OPTIMIZATION
Create /etc/sysctl.d/cassandra.conf and put the following in it:
net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time=60
net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes=3
net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_intvl=10
net.core.rmem_max=16777216
net.core.wmem_max=16777216
net.core.rmem_default=16777216
net.core.wmem_default=16777216
net.core.optmem_max=40960
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem=4096 87380 16777216
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem=4096 65536 16777216

# sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/cassandra.conf
