Newby: How to actually update software?!

Hi All -

1) I work with bigdate for a living, use lots of neat software, SAS, SQL Server, etc. I know how to get my data and such, analyze it, etc...
2) I use UNIX at work (Solaris mostly) and can easily navigate around Unix and get the job done, vi and sas -nodms are about my fav, and some python and shells here there).
3) What I am not is a Unix System Admin. Sure I get the OS, and why it is so great, i.e. / is the bees knees, /home/me, etc....
4) So I have now joined the club! I have three Linux machines at home all connected and talking and everything is great! I even installed Hadoop (well specifically: hadoop-1.2.1 at /usr/local/hadoop) by getting it all untared and such and setup and nice and pretty by doing this:
Code:
sudo mv hadoop-1.2.0/ hadoop

5) So life is great! My main node and slaves are all happy! Woohoo!
6) But now change comes, Apache releases stable release hadoop-2.2.0 three days ago!?Smilie
7) NOW WHAT?!
8) I cant download the new version, and merely do this while here /usr/local:
Code:
sudo mv hadoop-2.2.0/ hadoop

I am sure the sky would fall, baby dolphins would die and other ill effects of such awful OS understanding.

9) So I come to you all for a very basic, best practice way of doing upgrades?
10) I think I "just" follow the upgrade guide at apache re updating the Hadoop OS, but you know, there really isn't something there that says, "Well buddy, just setup /usr/local/hadoop-2.2.0 then move all the config files and whatnot to the old install (/usr/local/hadoop) to the new one (/usr/local/hadoop-2.2.0) and when you are comfortable that it's all running swell, after following our guide, well, just DELETE the whole folder: /usr/local/hadoop and then do this:
Code:
sudo mv hadoop-2.2.0/ hadoop

and life will be happily ever after lived......


You folks get what I mean?

I look at the update/install guide and think that a fundamental OS/software update process is not connecting with me. I know this isn't Windows and there is no "Update Hadoop 1.2.0 to Hadopp 2.2.0" button. But I just am a little gray on the lifecycle of Unix, I know that I have to install a full new binary at: /usr/local/hadoop-2.2.0, but I just don't know how to clean up all the mess when I am done getting the clusters all set up. I know how to do that, I just don't get how best practice is to update software???

Any intel?

I have these Hadoop clusters at home to LEARN on, if I do something wrong, oh well, just fix it all and start over. I just got sooo far and now I am feeling a little lost on how to manage my Linux clusters with updates correctly. I just want to learn, this isn't for work or anything.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Net::Server::Proto::SSL(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				Net::Server::Proto::SSL(3)

NAME
Net::Server::Proto::SSL - Net::Server SSL protocol. SYNOPSIS
See Net::Server::Proto. DESCRIPTION
Experimental. If anybody has any successes or ideas for improvment under SSL, please email <paul@seamons.com>. Protocol module for Net::Server. This module implements a secure socket layer over tcp (also known as SSL). See Net::Server::Proto. There is a limit inherent from using IO::Socket::SSL, namely that only one SSL connection can be maintained by Net::Server. However, Net::Server should also be able to maintain any number of TCP, UDP, or UNIX connections in addition to the one SSL connection. Additionally, getline support is very limited and writing directly to STDOUT will not work. This is entirely dependent upon the implementation of IO::Socket::SSL. getline may work but the client is not copied to STDOUT under SSL. It is suggested that clients sysread and syswrite to the client handle (located in $self->{server}->{client} or passed to the process_request subroutine as the first argument). PARAMETERS
In addition to the normal Net::Server parameters, any of the SSL parameters from IO::Socket::SSL may also be specified. See IO::Socket::SSL for information on setting this up. BUGS
Christopher A Bongaarts pointed out that if the SSL negotiation is slow then the server won't be accepting for that period of time (because the locking of accept is around both the socket accept and the SSL negotiation). This means that as it stands now the SSL implementation is susceptible to DOS attacks. To fix this will require deviding up the accept call a little bit more finely which may not yet be possible with IO::Socket::SSL. Any ideas or patches on this bug are welcome. LICENCE
Distributed under the same terms as Net::Server THANKS
Thanks to Vadim for pointing out the IO::Socket::SSL accept was returning objects blessed into the wrong class. perl v5.12.1 2007-02-03 Net::Server::Proto::SSL(3)
