I’m planning to upgrade my application from using MongoDB 3.0.6 to MongoDB 4.4.
The documentation states that:
To upgrade from a version earlier than the 4.2-series, you must successively upgrade major releases until you have upgraded to 4.2- series. For example, if you are running a 4.0-series, you must upgrade first to 4.2 before you can upgrade to 4.4.
This means that I need to upgrade from 3.0.6, to 3.2, 3.4, 3.6, 4.0, 4.2 and finally to 4.4
I’m wondering if dumping the database using mongodump, then updating directly to mongoDB 4.4, and finally restoring the database using mongorestore can work, and if there any disadvantages or complications we need to be aware of. Any ideas?
