Minor versions are updates within the 2.X or 3.X series and include performance improvements, new feature releases, and issue fixes. Version updates are irreversible — once applied, you cannot downgrade. EMR Serverless StarRocks applies minor version updates through a rolling update.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have:
-
A StarRocks instance created. For more information, see Create an instance.
-
A StarRocks instance with status Running
Usage notes
-
Minor version updates rarely introduce feature incompatibility. Because community version iterations can occasionally affect behavior, test thoroughly before updating a production instance. We recommend that you thoroughly verify the test environment before updating to prevent any adverse effects on your business operations.
-
During the update, the following operations are unavailable: upgrading configurations, scaling the instance, modifying configurations, and applying for a public endpoint.

Parameter
Description
Select Version
The minor version to update to. Select the latest version for the most recent fixes and improvements.
Restart Mode
Available only for StarRocks shared-data instances. Controls how CNs restart during the update. See the options below.
Restart Mode options
-
Rolling Restart (default) — CNs restart in sequence, one at a time, keeping other nodes running throughout the update. Use this mode when service continuity is required.
-
Quick Restart — Requires minor version 1.6.10 or later. All CNs restart simultaneously, so the update completes faster, but your service may be interrupted. Use this mode during off-peak hours when a brief service interruption is acceptable.
