I am planning to upgrade gerrit from version 2.11.7 to 2.14.2 , it is possible to upgrade directly ? I want to use online reindexing too . It looks like i have to first upgrade to 2.12.X version then 2.13.x version and finally 2.14.2 inorder to user online reindexing?

As I think you already noticed, the 2.13 Release Notes say

To use online reindexing for the changes secondary index when upgrading to 2.13.x, the server must first be upgraded to 2.8 (or 2.9) and then through 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12. Skipping a version will prevent the online reindexer from working.

So, it looks like you can't upgrade directly from 2.11.7 to 2.14.2 - not if you want online reindexing. I suggest you upgrade in steps unless someone who has deep knowledge in this area says that you don't need to.

I suggest you upgrade 2.11.7-> 2.12 -> 2.13 -> 2.13.7 and stop at 2.13

2.11.7 -> 2.12 , only to do reindex offline and start gerri

2.12 -> 2.13.7 , If you have the slave server , please remember to copy All-Users from master to slave .

because 2.13 change the place to store ssh-key from DB to Al-Users git

I suggest you running reindex offline, and before you start gerrit , set index.threads = 2

read the release notes of each of the releases you are upgrading to,

What’s your gerrit.config look like?

It seems that one of the enum values of the download command isn’t supported.

The enum itself

  public static enum DownloadCommand {

REPO_DOWNLOAD, PULL, CHECKOUT, CHERRY_PICK, FORMAT_PATCH

}

didn't change between these two releases but moved to another package.

The DownloadCommand class moved from

https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit/+/refs/heads/stable-2.12/gerrit-reviewdb/src/main/java/com/google/gerrit/reviewdb/client/AccountGeneralPreferences.java#28

in 2.12 to

https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit/+/refs/heads/stable-2.13/gerrit-extension-api/src/main/java/com/google/gerrit/extensions/client/GeneralPreferencesInfo.java#29

in 2.13.

Allowed configuration values for download.command:

2.12 https://gerrit-documentation.storage.googleapis.com/Documentation/2.12.9/config-gerrit.html#download

2.13 https://gerrit-documentation.storage.googleapis.com/Documentation/2.13.13/config-gerrit.html#download

if your server's etc/gerrit.config contains an unsupported value for this option this may cause this error.

Hi

Thanks for getting back.

I understood what you were saying but in the gerrit.config, there is no download section being defined.

Just for the sake of it, I put in the download section as per the documentation (https://gerrit-documentation.storage.googleapis.com/Documentation/2.12.9/config-gerrit.html#download), rerun the init command and still get the same error.

Any idea?

Thanks.

Hi

The manual update setting the column to NULL does help.

I have to update other enum columns to NULL as well (eg date_format etc)

But at least the upgrade schema to 119 has been completed.

I am confronted with other issue on 120, I will see if I can fix that myself.

Otherwise, will ask for more help later.

Thank you very much!!!
