so what about the customers who have BDA appliance version 4.X with cloudera 5.x?
will they be able to upgrade to cloudera 6.x? and new versions of of Oracle BIG SQL + integrated SW?
will they also be able to upgrade to the upcoming version of cloudera which will be the merged one of Horton works and cloudera?
if Yes, then when?
and if not then what are the available options for them
Mammoth cluster upgrades to v5.1.0 are supported directly from BDA Mammoth v4.12.0 or later. For upgrades from earlier BDA Mammoth versions, it will be necessary to first upgrade to BDA Mammoth v4.12.0. The latest Big Data SQL is included with BDA.
The merged Cloudera/HDP is called CDP - and there are different editions. We are working with Cloudera now to define the best path forward for BDA customers.
Thanks!
