Goal

It is possible to stop a BDA 5.2 Mammoth upgrade after the base image upgrade has completed.

This can be useful when the upgrade maintenance window is not long enough to complete the upgrade. See the BDA 5.2 Owner's Guide section, "10.7.2.2 Using the Mammoth "step" and "range" Options in Upgrades" for details.

This does not mean that the upgrade can be rolled back as discussed in, Can A BDA/BDCS Cluster Upgrade Be Rolled Back To The Original Version Once It Is Started? (Doc ID 2327973.1).  The purpose is to provide an option to upgrade the cluster to the BDA 5.2 base image and continue the rest of the upgrade at another time.
