How to copy data from an old Hive cluster to a new Hive cluster and keep all Hive metastore meta data?

Question

I have two different Apache Hive clusters and I need to transfer data from the old to the new. What is the best way to accomplish this? The old cluster is using hive 1.2 with hadoop 2.7 and the new is using hive 3.1 with hadoop 3.3.4

I've tried uisng distcp but it did not work and the data did not copy to the new cluster.
