[jira] [Updated] (BIGTOP-844) hadoop rpm upgrade sequence is broken

Roman, could you give a try to the patch I am attaching and tell me if it fixes the upgrade path?

Your issue sounds very similar to BIGTOP-367.
Furthermore, by looking at the spec file, it hit me that we split jars into multiple packages (hadoop-hdfs, hadoop-yarn...). So the Requires(pre) should be applied to them as well so the old jars get removed before services get restarted.
Or at least, this is what I suspect.

> Here's the deal -- during the RPM upgrade sequence there's a point in time when files that have different names in new and old package exist side-by-side. What it means for our style of hadoop packaging is that we'll have both /usr/lib/hadoop/foo-<old version>.jar and /usr/lib/hadoop/foo-<new version>.jar getting onto the classpath when we issue a condrestart for any service.
> This is pretty bad.
> At this point my knee jerk reaction is to re-evaluate why do we need versioned jars to begit with. Do you guys think there's any value in something like:
>   * /usr/lib/hadoop/hadoop-common-2.0.0.jar
> vs a simple:
>   * /usr/lib/hadoop/hadoop-common.jar
