We had to upgrade our production Weaviate, used for our WooCommerce demos, several times to add new features : sentence transformers, OpenAI, Cohere, Google Palm2, and last but not least Rerank.
At first, we did what most of us do in that case: clone the cluster, upgrade it, test it, switch to it, and delete the old cluster. Quite a challenge.
But now we simply upgrade the production cluster, configured with a stateful replica of 2.
And incredibly, during the upgrade, both querying and indexing suffer no interruption. 😎
Nice!!
