You will learn how to upgrade a Cassandra cluster from 3.x to 4.x. To For simplicity, you will perform a migration of a single-node cluster. Production Cassandra clusters always have multiple nodes. Therefore, steps have notes describing the extra work necessary to upgrade multi-node clusters.
In this hands-on lab, you will:
- Start a single-node Cassandra 3.x cluster
- Create schema and insert data
- Prepare the node for migration
- Install Cassandra 4.x
- Start Cassandra 4.x
- Verify that the node has been successfully migrated
This hands-on lab is available on our https://www.datastax.com/learn/whats-new-for-cassandra-4 site, where you can find many more resources to help you succeed with Apache Cassandra.
