--- title: Upgrade on Kubernetes slug: /deployment/upgrade/kubernetes --- # Upgrade on Kubernetes This guide will help you upgrade your OpenMetadata Kubernetes Application with automated helm hooks. ## Requirements This guide assumes that you have an OpenMetadata deployment that you installed and configured following the [Kubernetes Deployment](/deployment/kubernetes) guide. We also assume that your helm chart release names are `openmetadata` and `openmetadata-dependencies` and namespace used is `default`. ## Procedure Below document is valid for upgrading Helm Charts from **0.11.5 to 0.12.X**. ### Back up metadata Before proceeding, pleae make sure you made a backup of your MySQL/Postgres DB behind OpenMetadata server. This step is extremely important for you to restore to your current state if any issues come up during the upgrade Learn how to back up MySQL data. ## Get an overview of what has changed in Helm Values You can get changes from artifact hub of [openmetadata helm chart](https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/open-metadata/openmetadata) release. Click on Default Values >> Compare to Version. Helm Chart Release Comparison ## Upgrade Helm Repository with a new release Update Helm Chart Locally for OpenMetadata with the below command: ```commandline helm repo update open-metadata ``` It will result in the below output on screen. ```commandline Hang tight while we grab the latest from your chart repositories... ...Successfully got an update from the "open-metadata" chart repository Update Complete. ⎈Happy Helming!⎈ ``` Verify with the below command to see the latest release available locally. ```commandline helm search repo open-metadata --versions > NAME CHART VERSION APP VERSION DESCRIPTION open-metadata/openmetadata 0.0.39 0.12.1 A Helm chart for OpenMetadata on Kubernetes open-metadata/openmetadata 0.0.38 0.12.0 A Helm chart for OpenMetadata on Kubernetes open-metadata/openmetadata 0.0.37 0.12.0 A Helm chart for OpenMetadata on Kubernetes open-metadata/openmetadata 0.0.36 0.12.0 A Helm chart for OpenMetadata on Kubernetes open-metadata/openmetadata 0.0.35 0.11.5 A Helm chart for OpenMetadata on Kubernetes open-metadata/openmetadata 0.0.34 0.11.4 A Helm chart for OpenMetadata on Kubernetes ... open-metadata/openmetadata-dependencies 0.0.39 0.12.1 Helm Dependencies for OpenMetadata open-metadata/openmetadata-dependencies 0.0.38 0.12.0 Helm Dependencies for OpenMetadata open-metadata/openmetadata-dependencies 0.0.37 0.12.0 Helm Dependencies for OpenMetadata open-metadata/openmetadata-dependencies 0.0.36 0.12.0 Helm Dependencies for OpenMetadata open-metadata/openmetadata-dependencies 0.0.35 0.11.5 Helm Dependencies for OpenMetadata open-metadata/openmetadata-dependencies 0.0.34 0.11.4 Helm Dependencies for OpenMetadata ... ``` ## Upgrade OpenMetadata Dependencies ### Step 1: Upgrade Airfow We have **upgraded the Airflow version from 2.1.4 to 2.3.3** with OpenMetadata `0.12.X` releases. Before you start upgrading OpenMetadata Dependencies, you must follow airflow migration docs [here](/deployment/upgrade/bare-metal#upgrade-ingestion-container) to upgrade Airflow. ### Step 2: Upgrade OpenMetadata Dependencies with the below command ```commandline helm upgrade openmetadata-dependencies open-metadata/openmetadata-dependencies ``` The above command uses configurations defined [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-metadata/openmetadata-helm-charts/main/charts/deps/values.yaml). You can modify any configuration and deploy by passing your own `values.yaml`. ### Step 3: Troubleshooting If your helm upgrade fails with the below command result - ``` Error: UPGRADE FAILED: cannot patch "mysql" with kind StatefulSet: StatefulSet.apps "mysql" is invalid: spec: Forbidden: updates to statefulset spec for fields other than 'replicas', 'template', 'updateStrategy', 'persistentVolumeClaimRetentionPolicy' and 'minReadySeconds' are forbidden ``` This is probably because with `0.12.1`, we have **default size of mysql persistence set to 50Gi**. Kubernetes does not allow changes to Persistent volume with helm upgrades. In order to work around this issue, you can either default the persistence size to 8Gi or run the below command which will patch Persistent Volumes and Persistent Volume Claims for mysql helm and then run the above `helm upgrade` command. ``` kubectl patch pvc data-mysql-0 -p '{"spec":{"resources":{"requests":{"storage":"50Gi"}}}}' kubectl patch pv -p '{"spec":{"storage":"50Gi"}}' ``` Make sure that, when using your own `values.yaml`, you are not overwriting elements such as the `image` of the containers. This would prevent your new deployment to use the latest containers when running the upgrade. If you are running into any issues, double-check what are the default values of the helm revision. ## Upgrade OpenMetdata We upgrade OpenMetadata with the below command: ```commandline helm upgrade openmetadata open-metadata/openmetadata ``` You might need to pass your own `values.yaml` with the `--values` flag ## Reindex ElasticSearch We have added a conditional suggestion mapping for all of the elasticsearch indexes. This may require re-indexing. With 0.12.1 its never been easier to index your metadata ### Go to Settings -> Event Publishers -> ElasticSearch create-project ### Make sure you select "Recreate Indexes" Click on the "Recreate Indexes" lable and click "Re Index All" ## Troubleshooting for 0.12 Release ### Using custom helm values If you are facing an issue similar to below when openmetadata pod keeps on restarting. ``` java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.openmetadata.catalog.security.DefaultAuthorizer at java.base/jdk.internal.loader.BuiltinClassLoader.loadClass(BuiltinClassLoader.java:581) at java.base/jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders$AppClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoaders.java:178) at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:522) at java.base/java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) at java.base/java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:315) at org.openmetadata.service.OpenMetadataApplication.registerAuthorizer(OpenMetadataApplication.java:240) at org.openmetadata.service.OpenMetadataApplication.run(OpenMetadataApplication.java:123) at org.openmetadata.service.OpenMetadataApplication.run(OpenMetadataApplication.java:92) at io.dropwizard.cli.EnvironmentCommand.run(EnvironmentCommand.java:59) at io.dropwizard.cli.ConfiguredCommand.run(ConfiguredCommand.java:98) at io.dropwizard.cli.Cli.run(Cli.java:78) at io.dropwizard.Application.run(Application.java:94) at org.openmetadata.service.OpenMetadataApplication.main(OpenMetadataApplication.java:323) ``` The root cause of the issue is the default helm values which are upgraded in helm charts but are getting overridden by your custom helm values. Please verify the config for Authorizer Class Name and Container Request Filter. We have changed `org.openmetadata.catalog.security.*` to `org.openmetadata.service.security.*`. Make sure to verify your helm values and update the below content. ``` global: ... authorizer: className: "org.openmetadata.service.security.DefaultAuthorizer" containerRequestFilter: "org.openmetadata.service.security.JwtFilter" ... ``` ## Troubleshooting for 0.10 Release If you are upgrading from previous releases to 0.10, you might encounter the below logs which indicates that the 0.10 release is backward incompatible. ```commandline [I/O dispatcher 1] DEBUG org.apache.http.impl.nio.client.InternalIODispatch - http-outgoing-0 [ACTIVE] [content length: 263; pos: 263; completed: true] [main] DEBUG org.elasticsearch.client.RestClient - request [PUT http://elasticsearch:9200/glossary_search_index/_mapping?master_timeout=30s&ignore_unavailable=false&expand_wildcards=open%2Cclosed&allow_no_indices=false&ignore_throttled=false&timeout=30s] returned [HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request] [main] ERROR org.openmetadata.catalog.elasticsearch.ElasticSearchIndexDefinition - Failed to update Elastic Search indexes due to org.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchStatusException: Elasticsearch exception [type=illegal_argument_exception, reason=can't merge a non object mapping [owner] with an object mapping] at org.elasticsearch.rest.BytesRestResponse.errorFromXContent(BytesRestResponse.java:176) at org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient.parseEntity(RestHighLevelClient.java:1933) at org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient.parseResponseException(RestHighLevelClient.java:1910) at org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient.internalPerformRequest(RestHighLevelClient.java:1667) at org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient.performRequest(RestHighLevelClient.java:1639) at org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient.performRequestAndParseEntity(RestHighLevelClient.java:1606) at org.elasticsearch.client.IndicesClient.putMapping(IndicesClient.java:342) at org.openmetadata.catalog.elasticsearch.ElasticSearchIndexDefinition.updateIndex(ElasticSearchIndexDefinition.java:139) at org.openmetadata.catalog.elasticsearch.ElasticSearchIndexDefinition.updateIndexes(ElasticSearchIndexDefinition.java:91) at org.openmetadata.catalog.util.TablesInitializer.execute(TablesInitializer.java:227) at org.openmetadata.catalog.util.TablesInitializer.main(TablesInitializer.java:149) Suppressed: org.elasticsearch.client.ResponseException: method [PUT], host [http://elasticsearch:9200], URI [/glossary_search_index/_mapping?master_timeout=30s&ignore_unavailable=false&expand_wildcards=open%2Cclosed&allow_no_indices=false&ignore_throttled=false&timeout=30s], status line [HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request] {"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"can't merge a non object mapping [owner] with an object mapping"}],"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"can't merge a non object mapping [owner] with an object mapping"},"status":400} at org.elasticsearch.client.RestClient.convertResponse(RestClient.java:326) at org.elasticsearch.client.RestClient.performRequest(RestClient.java:296) at org.elasticsearch.client.RestClient.performRequest(RestClient.java:270) at org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient.internalPerformRequest(RestHighLevelClient.java:1654) ... 7 common frames omitted ``` Note that to migrate, you'll need a fresh installation!
