Upgrading Jira from 7.X to 8.4.2 causes tables and columns to not be created.

Summary

Upgrading Jira from 7.X to 8.4.2 causes tables and columns to not be created.

Environment

Jira 7.12.3 | Windows Server | MySQL 5.6

Steps to Reproduce

1. Upgrade Jira data from 7.12.3 to Jira 8.4.2 running an in place upgrade.

Expected Results

The upgrade concludes gracefully

Actual Results

All indexed entities fail to be displayed and Jira is unusable as a result.

The below exception is thrown in the atlassian-jira.log file:

com.atlassian.cache.CacheException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: [GenericEntity.get] "archived" is not a field of Issue
com.atlassian.cache.CacheException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: [GenericEntity.get] "archived" is not a field of Component

Workaround

Option 1) Step into 8.4.1 first then upgrade to 8.4.2

Option 2) So far, the issue has been reported to only occur while upgrading using the installer. On the other hand, upgrading manually is considered to be free of this bug and is the recommended way for 7.x - > 8.4.x/8.5.x path as detailed in https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/upgrading-from-jira-7-x-to-jira-8-5-results-in-data-base-tables-and-columns-missing-978222133.html
