Re: [Analytics] Superset 0.32 upgrade coming tomorrow (May 15th, early EU morning)

Hi everybody, I want to add some info about why it took so long to deploy this new version. The Superset upstream project is currently into the Apache incubator (https://incubator.apache.org/), that requires projects to be in line with the Apache foundation guidelines. The Superset dev struggled a lot to release the first Apache-licensed version of Superset, and we preferred not to deploy anything to our infrastructure that was in the process of changing license (we had a bad experience in the past). Moreover, we have filed several issues and pull requests to github, some of them still not merged (few upstream devs, a lot of bugs). If you want a complete list, please check https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T211706, I'll keep the summary up to date. We also created a staging environment for Superset, so that we will be able in the future to test new versions (and file bug reports in advance) without affecting the version currently deployed in production. We are currently using our own "patched" version of Superset ( https://github.com/wikimedia/incubator-superset/tree/wikimedia) but ideally in the future it would be great to use the official releases without any backport. We are not there yet :) Last but not the least, we are aware of the annoying bug upon first user login (a horrible python stacktrace) that requires a manual fix: it should be fixed upstream now, but the change is big to backport at the moment (since it is located into a separate package, FlaskAppBuilder, that requires a major version bump) so we preferred not to delay the deployment of 0.32 further. We hope to fix it in the next release :) If you guys encounter problems or bugs please report them to us, so we'll be able to follow up with upstream!
