Hi ac,

Usually better to start your own thread for such purposes. However, my
response inline.

HDFS upgrade should be simple enough to do, by invoking the namenode's
first startup with a -upgrade command.

For MR, since Apache Hadoop 2.0.x carries MR2 (which runs atop YARN
[1]), you would have to recompile any custom jobs you have, against an
Apache Hadoop 2.x dependency, and use these new builds.

For HBase, following the HBase's hadoop-2 build instructions should
give you a usable tarball to deploy with.

In case you are open to using packages, you can also look at Apache
Bigtop [2], as they have RPM/DEB scripts for Hadoop 2.x and other
ecosystem components that you can leverage.
