apache arrow UPGRADE

Affected: >= 0.5.0 and <= 0.10.1

Fixed in: newer than 0.10.1

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 0.5.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy arrow || rpm -q arrow || arrow --version

2. UPGRADE to newer than 0.10.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade arrow

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade arrow

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 0.5.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison arrow sudo apt install arrow=<VERSION_BEFORE_0.5.0> sudo apt-mark hold arrow

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list arrow sudo dnf downgrade arrow-<VERSION_BEFORE_0.5.0> sudo dnf versionlock add arrow

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
