    4. Initial download/install of MariaDB ColumnStore binary package

MariaDB ColumnStore software upgrade 1.0.4 to 1.0.5

Note: Columnstore.xml modifications you manually made are not automatically carried forward on an upgrade. These modifications will need to be incorporated back into .XML once the upgrade has occurred.

The previous configuration file will be saved as /usr/local/mariadb/columnstore/etc/Columnstore.xml.rpmsave.

If you have specified a root database password (which is good practice), then you must configure a .my.cnf file with user credentials for the upgrade process to use. Create a .my.cnf file in the user home directory with 600 file permissions with the following content (updating PASSWORD as appropriate):

[mysqladmin] 
user = root
password = PASSWORD

This file can be removed after the upgrade is complete.
