Recieved this error when I tried to do a yum update with the new v2.03 rpm.  
Error: influxdb2 conflicts with influxdb-1.8.3-1.x86\_64

Is this upgrade method not supported?

Hi @jackyho, you need to remove your 1.x package before you can install 2.x. All of your 1.x data files will remain on disk, so you’ll be able to run the upgrade process using the v2 binaries.
