Hi all  
I created a docker image based on dremio community 25.0.0.  
It only copies a 3rd party jar file to /jars/3rdpary folder  
It is working in a kubernetes deployment via helm chart.  
Now I have a newer version of the jar file. I created a new docker image but when I run  
helm upgrade --install .-namespace dremio dremio …/dremio\_v2 -f /local.values.yaml

It fails in upgrade-task step:  
_Normal Pulled 7s (x3 over 30s) kubelet Container image “XXXXX” already present on machine_

- Normal Created 7s (x3 over 30s) kubelet Created container: upgrade-task\*
- Normal Started 7s (x3 over 30s) kubelet Started container upgrade-task\*
- Warning BackOff 2s (x2 over 20s) kubelet Back-off restarting failed container upgrade-task in pod dremio-master-0\_dremio-reportnet-01(27fc7cfa-4c9d-4978-b1ad-e3aa026bee86)\*

I can only make it work if completely delete the namespace which is not an option in our production environment.  
I tested and I the image and the new jar file are OK.

Can you please help?  
Many thanks
