    ApsaraDB for HBase:Minor version updates

    Last Updated:Mar 28, 2026

    Update the minor version of an ApsaraDB for HBase cluster from the console to get the latest features, performance improvements, and stability fixes.

    Important

    Minor version updates use a rolling restart, so your cluster stays available throughout the process. Before each RegionServer restarts, all its regions are moved to other servers to minimize business impact. Network jitter may occur, but the cluster remains accessible.

    • A cluster with 2 core nodes and 100 regions typically completes in under 10 minutes.

    • A large cluster with thousands of regions may take over an hour.

    Update the minor version

    1. Log on to the ApsaraDB for HBase console.

    2. In the upper-left corner of the top navigation bar, select the region of your instance.

    3. On the Clusters page, click the ID of the target instance.

    4. In the left navigation pane, click Database Connection.

    5. In the upper-right corner of the page, click Upgrade Minor Version.
