The document summarizes the process Yahoo! undertook to upgrade its Hadoop clusters from version 0.20 to 0.23. It involved providing a 420-node sandbox cluster running 0.23 for customer testing, configuring queues and memory settings, and adding Kerberos authentication. Init scripts were modified for the DataNode, NameNode, SecondaryNameNode, HistoryServer, ResourceManager and NodeManager to start the new Hadoop versions.
