MapReduce, linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64, sym-7.1-build521096

4. Installation and configuration

Follow these steps to upgrade Jackson databind, core, and annotations .jar files in a cluster with Platform Symphony 7.1 Fix Pack 1 installed:

a. Log on to the master host as cluster administrator and stop the MRSS service:

> egosh user logon -u Admin -x Admin

> egosh service stop MRSS

b. Log on to each management and compute host in the cluster and download the following packages:

· jackson-databind-2.9.8.jar (http://central.maven.org/maven2/com/fasterxml/jackson/core/jackson-databind/2.9.8/)

·        jackson-core-2.9.8.jar (http://central.maven.org/maven2/com/fasterxml/jackson/core/jackson-core/2.9.8/)

·        jackson-annotations-2.9.8.jar (http://central.maven.org/maven2/com/fasterxml/jackson/core/jackson-annotations/2.9.8/)

c. For recovery purposes, move the following files to a backup directory:

> mkdir -p /tmp/mrbackup/

> mv $EGO_TOP/soam/mapreduce/7.1/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/lib/hadoop-2.6.0/jackson-annotations-2.2.3.jar /tmp/mrbackup/

> mv $EGO_TOP/soam/mapreduce/7.1/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/lib/hadoop-2.6.0/jackson-core-2.2.3.jar /tmp/mrbackup/

> mv $EGO_TOP/soam/mapreduce/7.1/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/lib/hadoop-2.6.0/jackson-databind-2.2.3.jar /tmp/mrbackup/

NOTE: To avoid compatibility issues, ensure that you move all old files to another directory altogether.

d. On each management and compute host, copy the following files to your cluster directory:

> cp -rf jackson-databind-2.9.8.jar $EGO_TOP/soam/mapreduce/7.1/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/lib/hadoop-2.6.0/

> cp -rf jackson-core-2.9.8.jar $EGO_TOP/soam/mapreduce/7.1/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/lib/hadoop-2.6.0/

> cp -rf jackson-annotations-2.9.8.jar $EGO_TOP/soam/mapreduce/7.1/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/lib/hadoop-2.6.0/

e. From the master host, start the MRSS service:

> egosh user logon -u Admin -x Admin

> egosh service start MRSS

5. Uninstallation

If required, follow these steps to uninstall the upgraded .jar files in a cluster with Platform Symphony 7.1 Fix Pack 1 installed:

a. Log on to the master host as the cluster administrator and stop the MRSS service:

> egosh user logon -u Admin -x Admin

> egosh service stop MRSS

b. Delete the following files that were introduced by this interim fix:

> rm -fr $EGO_TOP/soam/mapreduce/7.1/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/lib/hadoop-2.6.0/jackson-databind-2.9.8.jar

> rm -fr $EGO_TOP/soam/mapreduce/7.1/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/lib/hadoop-2.6.0/jackson-core-2.9.8.jar

> rm -fr $EGO_TOP/soam/mapreduce/7.1/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/lib/hadoop-2.6.0/jackson-annotations-2.9.8.jar

c. On each management and compute host, restore the following files from your backup:

> mv /tmp/mrback/*.jar $EGO_TOP/soam/mapreduce/7.1/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/lib/hadoop-2.6.0/

d. From the master host, start the MRSS service:

> egosh user logon -u Admin -x Admin

> egosh service start MRSS
