  • Upgrading clusters created via Nebula Operator of version 0.8.0 is not supported.

Upgrade a Nebula Graph cluster with Kubectl

Prerequisites

You have created a Nebula Graph cluster with Kubectl. For details, see Create a Nebula Graph cluster with Kubectl.

The version of the Nebula Graph cluster to be upgraded in this topic is 2.5.1, and its YAML file name is apps_v1alpha1_nebulacluster.yaml.

Steps

  1. Check the image version of the services in the cluster.

    kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/cluster=nebula  -o jsonpath="{.items[*].spec.containers[*].image}" |tr -s '[[:space:]]' '\n' |sort |uniq -c
    

    Output:

          1 vesoft/nebula-graphd:v2.5.1
          1 vesoft/nebula-metad:v2.5.1
          3 vesoft/nebula-storaged:v2.5.1  
    
  2. Edit the apps_v1alpha1_nebulacluster.yaml file by changing the values of all the version parameters from v2.5.1 to v2.6.0.

    The modified YAML file reads as follows:

    apiVersion: apps.nebula-graph.io/v1alpha1
    kind: NebulaCluster
    metadata:
      name: nebula
    spec:
      graphd:
        resources:
          requests:
            cpu: "500m"
            memory: "500Mi"
          limits:
            cpu: "1"
            memory: "1Gi"
        replicas: 1
        image: vesoft/nebula-graphd
        version: v2.6.0 //Change the value from v2.5.1 to v2.6.0.
        service:
          type: NodePort
          externalTrafficPolicy: Local
        logVolumeClaim:
          resources:
            requests:
              storage: 2Gi
          storageClassName: gp2
      metad:
        resources:
          requests:
            cpu: "500m"
            memory: "500Mi"
          limits:
            cpu: "1"
            memory: "1Gi"
        replicas: 1
        image: vesoft/nebula-metad
        version: v2.6.0 //Change the value from v2.5.1 to v2.6.0.
        dataVolumeClaim:
          resources:
            requests:
              storage: 2Gi
          storageClassName: gp2
        logVolumeClaim:
          resources:
            requests:
              storage: 2Gi
          storageClassName: gp2
      storaged:
        resources:
          requests:
            cpu: "500m"
            memory: "500Mi"
          limits:
            cpu: "1"
            memory: "1Gi"
        replicas: 3
        image: vesoft/nebula-storaged
        version: v2.6.0 //Change the value from v2.5.1 to v2.6.0.
        dataVolumeClaim:
          resources:
            requests:
              storage: 2Gi
          storageClassName: gp2
        logVolumeClaim:
          resources:
            requests:
              storage: 2Gi
          storageClassName: gp2
      reference:
        name: statefulsets.apps
        version: v1
      schedulerName: default-scheduler
      imagePullPolicy: Always
    
  3. Run the following command to apply the version update to the cluster CR.

    kubectl apply -f apps_v1alpha1_nebulacluster.yaml
    
  4. After waiting for about 2 minutes, run the following command to see if the image versions of the services in the cluster have been changed to v2.6.0.

    kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/cluster=nebula  -o jsonpath="{.items[*].spec.containers[*].image}" |tr -s '[[:space:]]' '\n' |sort |uniq -c
    

    Output:

          1 vesoft/nebula-graphd:v2.6.0
          1 vesoft/nebula-metad:v2.6.0
          3 vesoft/nebula-storaged:v2.6.0  
    

Upgrade a Nebula Graph cluster with Helm

Prerequisites

You have created a Nebula Graph cluster with Helm. For details, see Create a Nebula Graph cluster with Helm.

Steps

  1. Update the information of available charts locally from chart repositories.

    helm repo update
    
  2. Set environment variables to your desired values.

    export NEBULA_CLUSTER_NAME=nebula         # The desired Nebula Graph cluster name.
    export NEBULA_CLUSTER_NAMESPACE=nebula    # The desired namespace where your Nebula Graph cluster locates.
    
  3. Upgrade a Nebula Graph cluster.

    For example, upgrade a cluster to v2.6.0.

    helm upgrade "${NEBULA_CLUSTER_NAME}" nebula-operator/nebula-cluster \
        --namespace="${NEBULA_CLUSTER_NAMESPACE}" \
        --set nameOverride=${NEBULA_CLUSTER_NAME} \
        --set nebula.version=v2.6.0
    

    The value of --set nebula.version specifies the version of the cluster you want to upgrade to.

  4. Run the following command to check the status and version of the upgraded cluster.

    Check cluster status:

    $ kubectl -n "${NEBULA_CLUSTER_NAMESPACE}" get pod -l "app.kubernetes.io/cluster=${NEBULA_CLUSTER_NAME}"
    NAME                READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
    nebula-graphd-0     1/1     Running   0          2m
    nebula-graphd-1     1/1     Running   0          2m
    nebula-metad-0      1/1     Running   0          2m
    nebula-metad-1      1/1     Running   0          2m
    nebula-metad-2      1/1     Running   0          2m
    nebula-storaged-0   1/1     Running   0          2m
    nebula-storaged-1   1/1     Running   0          2m
    nebula-storaged-2   1/1     Running   0          2m
    

    Check cluster version:

    $ kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/cluster=nebula  -o jsonpath="{.items[*].spec.containers[*].image}" |tr -s '[[:space:]]' '\n' |sort |uniq -c
          1 vesoft/nebula-graphd:v2.6.0
          1 vesoft/nebula-metad:v2.6.0
          3 vesoft/nebula-storaged:v2.6.0
