Guides → Upgrade from 5.0.x to 6.0
Prior to upgrade, please review the Release Model. The Release Model describes the release statuses: Preview and Generally Available. Refer to the Release Model to identify the release version and status that is most suitable for upgrading your Sandbox, Developer, User Acceptance Testing (UAT), or Production environment.
Upgrade Considerations
- Prior to upgrade, this release requires the installation of the Chromium headless browser on all hosts for the Incorta cluster. In addition, all hosts must have adequate disk space for shared storage to support the migration to a new shared storage directory structure. Lastly, if your Incorta cluster has a separate Apache Zookeeper cluster, you must also upgrade Apache Zookeeper.
If you are using CentOS, make sure to run this command: sudo yum install atk java-atk-wrapper at-spi2-atk gtk3 libXt libdrm mesa-libgbm
.
You must have a valid license key before you start the upgrade process. To obtain your license key, please contact Incorta Support.
With the introduction of the new-generation loader, Incorta automatically detects inter-object dependencies within a load plan during the Planning phase of a load job. The Loader Service utilizes these detected dependencies and the user-defined load order within the schema to create an execution plan for loading objects. However, it’s important to note that using both the MVs' user-defined load order and automatically detected dependencies may result in an execution plan with cyclic dependencies, leading to load job failures. To avoid such failures, it is recommended to delete the MVs' user-defined load order before upgrading to the 6.0 release.
You must either run the Versioning Migration Tool after upgrading the cluster metadata database or perform a full load for all physical schemas in all tenants.
Upgrade from Incorta 5.0.x to 6.0
This guides details how to upgrade a standalone Incorta cluster. Upgrading your Incorta cluster to Release 6.0 requires team resources:
- a System Administrator with root access to the host or hosts running Incorta Nodes, the host running the Cluster Management Console (CMC), and the host or hosts running Apache Spark
- a CMC Administrator
- a Database Administrator
- a Super User that can access each tenant in the Incorta environment
- an Incorta Developer to resolve identified issues with formula expressions, schema alias, joins between tables, and dependencies between objects such as dashboards and business schemas

Spark 3.3 Upgrade Readiness
Incorta upgraded to Spark 3.3 in the 6.0 release. Before you start upgrading to this release, make sure to run the Spark compatibility check tool spark-upgrade-issues-detector.sh
located in the 6.0 extracted folder, and to fulfill the Spark upgrade prerequisites.
To run the tool, use the following command:
sh <EXTRACTION_DIR>/spark-upgrade-issues-detector.sh
The tool will create two files:
- potential-upgrade-issues.csv, which contains the potential compatibility issues that you have.
- spark-issues-references.xlsx, which contains examples and references to the compatibility concerns and how can you fix them.
Make sure to handle the compatibility concerns reported in the .csv
file, before your proceed to upgrade.
Spark Upgrade Prerequisites
- Customers who are using external Spark must upgrade it to 3.3.
- Customers who are upgrading from previous Incorta releases and are using ADLS storage must create a copy of the
IncortaNode/hadoop/etc/hadoop/core-site.xml
file underIncortaNode/spark/conf/
.
Important notes
- While Spark 3.3 supports Python versions from 3.7 to 3.10, Incorta supports Python 3.8 and 3.9 only

Upgrade the Incorta metadata database
A CMC Administrator is able to upgrade the Incorta metadata database. Depending on the number of tenants and schemas in your Incorta cluster, the process can take between 5 minutes and 3 hours.
To sign in to the Cluster Management Console (CMC), visit your CMC host at one of the following:
http://<Public_IP>:6060/cmc
http://<Public_DNS>:6060/cmc
http://<Private_IP>:6060/cmc
http://<Private_DNS>:6060/cmc
The default port for the CMC is 6060. Sign in to the CMC using your CMC administrator username and password.
To upgrade the Cluster Metadata database, follow the steps:
- In the Navigation bar, select Clusters.
- For each cluster name in the Cluster list, in the Actions column, select Upgrade Cluster Metadata.
A dialog indicates to restart the Incorta Services. In the dialog, select OK.
Run the Versioning Migration Tool
In the case of upgrading from a previous release to release 6.0, you must either run the Versioning Migration Tool after upgrading the cluster metadata database or perform a full load for all physical schemas in all tenants.
When upgrading to release 6.0, you must ensure that you have adequate disk space in shared storage. If you create a backup prior to the migration, you need to account for the backup size as part of your disk space calculations. The default backup directory is the tenant directory. You can specify a different directory.
What to expect after upgrading to 6.0
- A new directory structure where the
source
andddm
directories replace the oldparquet
andsnapshots
directories respectively. - A new setting in the Cluster Configurations to set the Cleanup job time interval.
- Enabling the Sync In Background feature will not cause data inconsistency issues as experienced in some cases before.
- Some files will not be available or used anymore, such as
.zxt
,.zxs
, andload-time.log
files.
To learn more about the new implementation, review References → Data Consistency and Availability.
