About Upgrading

This DataStax Upgrade Guide provides detailed instructions on upgrading DataStax Enterprise, OpsCenter, DataStax Agents, and reverting to earlier versions.

Read and understand these instructions before upgrading. Carefully reviewing the planning and upgrade instructions can prevent errors and data loss.

Upgrade Instructions

  • Upgrading DataStax Enterprise

  • Upgrading DSE OpsCenter

  • DataStax driver changes:

    DataStax drivers come in two types:

    • DataStax drivers for DataStax Enterprise — for use by DSE 4.8 and later

    • DataStax drivers for Apache Cassandra™ — for use by Apache Cassandra™ and DSE 4.7 and earlier

While the DataStax drivers for Apache Cassandra drivers can connect to DSE 5.0 and later clusters, DataStax strongly recommends upgrading to the DSE drivers. The DSE drivers provide functionality for all DataStax Enterprise features.

  • Upgrading Apache Cassandra to DataStax Enterprise

  • Upgrading Apache Cassandra™
