Stroom-Proxy

The new implementation of Stroom-Proxy is not compatible with previous versions. It uses a different structure for its local repository. Therefor you CANNOT deploy Stroom-Proxy v7.8 on top of a previous Stroom-Proxy version as it will be unable to process existing stored data that has not yet been forwarded.

You have two options:

Run the old and new in parallel until the old one has processed all its data, then shutdown and uninstall the old one.
Prevent data going to the old Stroom-Proxy and allow it to process all its data. Shut it down and remove the installation. Install the new v7.8 Stroom-Proxy. Allow data to flow in again.
