Upgrade from 2.0.x to 2.2.x documentation missing

[Amit Singh F <am...@ericsson.com>]

Hi,

We are currently at Cassandra 2.0.14 in production and since it going to be EOL soon so we are planning to upgrade it to Cassandra 2.2.4 (http://cassandra.apache.org/download/) which is the currently production ready version. While doing some analysis we found that there is no such entry of 2.2 branch in datastax documentation (http://docs.datastax.com/en/upgrade/doc/upgrade/cassandra/upgradeC_c.html) which guides on how to reach 2.2.x from 2.0.x .

Can somebody guide us on the Upgrade path which needs to be followed while upgrading from 2.0.x to 2.2.x  .
Quick response will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance


Regards
Amit Singh

The canonical source for Apache Cassandra upgrade documentation is
NEWS.txt. Here's the cassandra-2.2 branch NEWS.txt file - read all
entries since your current release:

https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-2.2/NEWS.txt

The typical Cassandra upgrade path is through the latest of each major
release, so from 2.0.latest -> 2.1.latest -> 2.2.latest. However, you
may be able to go from your 2.0.14 to 2.1.latest - read NEWS.txt to see
if that is the case, and test your upgrades in your staging env!
