steps to migrate from 1.7 to 2.x

[Jorge Bo]

Hey,

 i have a question related to upgrading Mysql debezium  from 1.7.x to 2.x . As there are many breaking changes, particularly in schema naming and mysql version.

When i change the connector version it is reading the old configuration and fails.

Do i need to remove config-store and status-store topics before moving to 2.x? Do we need to remove the old connector using the api?

Which should be the correct approach? 

Thanks,

Jorge

Hi,

there should be no need for offsets/status removal. I'd recommend to take the current connector configuration and add the parameters as they are named in Debezium 2. The current deployment should continue working.

Then you'd upgrade Debezium keeping the same config - Debezium should resume working and then you'll remove the old parameters.
