How difficult is the patching of Java on nodes for security?


1 Answer(s)


hi Zachary,

Patching Java on hadoop calls for the requisite knowledge of Hadoop administrator . Hadoop admin has to know what applications are being used in the hadoop cluster and what versions of Java are supported. Without having this knowledge an hadoop administrator cannot update the java version on the entire cluster. Such thing can destablize the entire cluster or in some instances may cause disruption in hadoop services.

Please look at the specific applications java comparability before patching.

Thanks
