Upgrade NebulaGraph clusters created with Nebula Operator¶

This topic introduces how to upgrade a NebulaGraph cluster created with Nebula Operator.

Limits¶

Only NebulaGraph clusters created with Nebula Operator are supported.

Only upgrading NebulaGraph from 2.5.x to 2.6.x is supported.

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

Upgrade a NebulaGraph cluster with Kubectl¶

Prerequisites¶

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

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

Steps¶

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

Edit the apps_v1alpha1_nebulacluster.yaml file by changing the values of all the version parameters from v2.5.1 to v2.6.2.

The modified YAML file reads as follows:

apiVersion: apps.nebula-graph.io/v1alpha1
kind: NebulaCluster
metadata:
  name: nebula
spec:
  graphd:
    resources:

        memory: "1Gi"
    replicas: 3
    image: vesoft/nebula-storaged
    version: v2.6.2 //Change the value from v2.5.1 to v2.6.2.

      storageClassName: gp2
  reference:
    name: statefulsets.apps
    version: v1
  schedulerName: default-scheduler
  imagePullPolicy: Always

Run the following command to apply the version update to the cluster CR.
```
kubectl apply -f apps_v1alpha1_nebulacluster.yaml
```

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 v2.6.2.

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:v2.6.2
      1 vesoft/nebula-metad:v2.6.2
      3 vesoft/nebula-storaged:v2.6.2

Upgrade a NebulaGraph cluster with Helm¶

Prerequisites¶

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

Steps¶

Update the information of available charts locally from chart repositories.
```
helm repo update
```

Set environment variables to your desired values.

export NEBULA_CLUSTER_NAME=nebula         # The desired NebulaGraph cluster name.
export NEBULA_CLUSTER_NAMESPACE=nebula    # The desired namespace where your NebulaGraph cluster locates.

Upgrade a NebulaGraph cluster.

For example, upgrade a cluster to v2.6.2.

helm upgrade "${NEBULA_CLUSTER_NAME}" nebula-operator/nebula-cluster \
    --namespace="${NEBULA_CLUSTER_NAMESPACE}" \
    --set nameOverride=${NEBULA_CLUSTER_NAME} \
    --set nebula.version=v2.6.2

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

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:v2.6.2
      1 vesoft/nebula-metad:v2.6.2
      3 vesoft/nebula-storaged:v2.6.2
