Pre-Upgrade Steps for Spark

Complete the following steps before you upgrade Spark with or without the Installer.

Pre-Upgrade Steps for Spark Standalone

About this task

Procedure

Copy configuration files from /opt/mapr/spark/spark-<version>/conf to a location outside of the Data Fabric installation directory.
For example, if Spark SQL is configured to work with Hive, copy the /opt/mapr/spark/spark-<version>/conf/hive-site.xml file to a backup directory.

Shut down the spark-master, spark-historyserver services (if the spark-historyserver is running).

maprcli node services -nodes <node-ip> -name spark-master -action stop
maprcli node services -nodes <node-ip> -name spark-historyserver -action stop

As the mapr user, stop the secondary instances:
For Spark 2.x:
```
/opt/mapr/spark/spark-<version>/sbin/stop-slaves.sh
```
For Sparx 3.x:
```
/opt/mapr/spark/spark-<version>/sbin/stop-workers.sh
```

Pre-Upgrade Steps for Spark on YARN

Procedure

Copy configuration files from /opt/mapr/spark/spark-<version>/conf to a location outside of the installation directory.
For example, if Spark SQL is configured to work with Hive, copy the /opt/mapr/spark/spark-<version>/conf/hive-site.xml file to a backup directory.
Shut down the spark-historyserver services (if the spark-historyserver is running):
```
maprcli node services -nodes <node-ip> -name spark-historyserver -action stop
```

Preserving Spark Configuration

About this task

Starting from EEP 6.0.0, in case of a version update, configuration from a previously installed version of Spark is stored in a folder with an old version timestamp.
