Can you please some one help me to understand few important thing we consider before we upgrade from 8,0.3 to 8.2.2

I see that major python change does that mean we need to upgrade python 2 to python3 on OS before we upgrade?

I dont see the any prerequisites for the splunk installation on linux .As i understand all supporting software's are  inbuilt in splunk package

You do no need to change Python on your OS.  Splunk uses only the Python that ships with it.

Correct, Splunk ships with everything you need.

The upgrade from 8.0.3 to 8.2.2 should be painless.
