This PR addresses the upgrading of a single node from 0.11 to 0.12. In 0.11, the meta store information was stored in raft.db via the raft services. In 0.12, the meta store information is now stored in meta.db which is a binary protobuf file.

If you are upgrading from from 0.11 to 0.12, the following steps need to be taken:

NOTE: This process will remove the raft.db and node.json files. It is recommended you backup the entire directory structure in case of a failure during the upgrade.

  1. While still running 0.11, export your meta data with a command like:
influxd backup <backup directory>
  1. Upgrade the influxd binary from 0.11 to 0.12. Do not start the service yet.

  2. Restore the meta store with the following command:

influxd restore -metadir=<meta directory> <backup directory>
  1. Start the service and confirm the meta data is present.


raftFile := filepath.Join(c.path, "raft.db")
if _, err := os.Stat(raftFile); err == nil {
return fmt.Errorf("detected %s. either downgrade and export your meta data to import before continuing, or delete the file to start fresh", raftFile)
