Check the distribution version on bash shell.

To update to Ubuntu 18.04 on Windows 10, first update and upgrade all the packages.

sudo apt-get update 


sudo apt-get upgrade -y

Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.


sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

And now you all set to do the release upgrade.

sudo do-release-upgrade

You will be asked to intervene twice during the upgrade process. The first time, Ubuntu will ask you if you want to install the latest version of the sshd_config file. You can keep the current version, or you can get the latest one.

Next, a little further during the upgrade process, Ubuntu will ask you if you want to remove obsolete packages. You can choose to remove them, or keep them. When the upgrade finishes, a restart will be required. If Ubuntu is unable to restart your system, go ahead and manually restart it.

Open Ubuntu bash shell and run the following command again to make sure the upgrade was successful.
$ lsb_release -d

This is one of my effort to collectively put into a one place with more information. We have to remember that all the BigData/components/benchmarks are developed  Keeping in mind x86 architecture.   So in first place we should make sure that all the relevant benchmark tools compile and run it on AArch64.   Then we should go ahead and try to optimize the same for AArch64. Different types of benchmarks and standards Micro benchmarks: To evaluate specific lower-level, system operations E.g. HiBench, HDFS DFSIO, AMP Lab Big Data Benchmark, CALDA, Hadoop Workload Examples (sort, grep, wordcount and Terasort, Gridmix, Pigmix) Functional/Component benchmarks: Specific to low level function E.g. Basic SQL: Individual SQL operations like select, proje...
