Can someone with more MongoDB experience give me your thoughts on the upgrade difficulty here? Worth doing soon, or waiting for a point release? Does this require a data rebuild/update process (coming from 2.4)?
- Fizzer 13y agoUpgrade notes are here: http://docs.mongodb.org/master/release-notes/2.6-upgrade/ http://docs.mongodb.org/master/release-notes/2.6-upgrade/ "the upgrade from MongoDB 2.4 to 2.6 is a binary-compatible drop-in upgrade: shut down the mongod instances and replace them with mongod instances running 2.6."
- arkham 13y agoAuthentication is the main thing to be aware of (no data rebuild), but full notes here: http://docs.mongodb.org/master/release-notes/2.6-upgrade/ http://docs.mongodb.org/master/release-notes/2.6-upgrade/ And, you have to be on 2.4 first (I know you said you are, but best to make sure for others)
- mason55 13y agoIMO unless you desperately need one of the new features I would hold off a few weeks. With a release this big I'd expect there will be some bugs and wouldn't be surprised to see 2.6.1 shortly.
- colechristensen 13y agoThis is always best practice for anything important unless you find your life is dull and bereft of emergency.
- nasalgoat 13y agoIn the case of Mongo, it's the opposite - the upgrades are needed badly enough that it's worth the risk of a major number release.
- doug1001 13y agoan old one, but the circumstances arise so often (app updates) and the consequences so severe (shark attack!) that it's probably worth posting: https://xkcd.com/349/ https://xkcd.com/349/
