Upgrading

View the Upgrading Accumulo documentation for guidance as the upgrade procedure has changed. Note that during the upgrade all user tablets will be set to have on-demand tablet availability. Users will need to change the tablet availability post-upgrade for tablets that they want always or never hosted on a tablet server. The upgrade process also sets the tablet mergeability to never for all existing tablets to preserve any user created split points. Tablet mergeability can be set when adding new splits and will be set to always when the split is created by the system based on user settings.
