Kudu migration overview

When you migrate your Kudu data from CDH to Cloudera you have to use the Kudu backup tool to back up and then restore your Kudu data.

Backing up data in Kudu
You can back up all your data in Kudu using the kudu-backup-tools.jar Kudu backup tool.
Applying custom Kudu configuration
If you applied any custom Kudu configurations in your CDH clusters, then you manually have to apply those configurations in your target Cloudera cluster.
Copying the backed up data to the Cloudera cluster
You can copy your backed up data to the target Cloudera cluster in two ways: using distcp or using the Replication Manager.
Restoring Kudu data into the target Cloudera cluster
Once you have backed up your data in Kudu, you can copy the data to the target Cloudera cluster and then restore it using the Kudu backup tool.
