Hello,
We are scheduling an upgrade of our production instance of Superset:
*tomorrow*, *2024/02/01 at 10:00 UTC* now that we have had version 3.1.0
on the staging instance for a week with no reports of new issues.
Please be aware that there will some short periods of unavailability of
Superset, whilst the upgrade takes place.
I expect this disturbance to last no more than 15 minutes.
If you are a Superset user and you have not yet had a chance to test
version 3.1.0 for any incompatibilities, feel free to do so now and let
me know of any concerns that you may have. We can then see if there is a
workaround, or if we need to defer the upgrade. I will create a database
dump prior to the upgrade, so that we can roll back to version 1.5.3,
should the need arise.
Kind regards,
Ben

*TL;DR* - Please test
https://superset-next.wikimedia.org and let us
know of any problems. Thanks.
Hello,
This message is specifically addressed to any users of
superset.wikimedia.org <https://superset.wikimedia.org>.
We in the Data Platform SRE team would be grateful for your assistance
in the acceptance testing phase of an upgrade to Superset, please. Our
production Superset instance is currently running version *1.5.3*, but
superset-next.wikimedia.org <https://superset-next.wikimedia.org> has
now been upgraded to version *3.1.0* and is ready for testing. Its
database was copied from the production instance yesterday, so it is
relatively fresh.
If you could spend a little time reviewing whether your dashboards,
charts, dataset, and SQL queries etc. work properly, that would be
really helpful. There are lots of changes between the 1.5 and 3.1
releases, so please feel free to read through the following release
notes, where the highlights are listed.
* release-notes-2-0
<https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/master/RELEASING/release-notes-2-0/README.md>
* release-notes-3-1
<https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/master/RELEASING/release-notes-3-1/README.md>
One particular point of note in the latest upgrade is that a viz
migrations
<https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/master/RELEASING/release-notes-3-1/README.md#cli-command-to-execute-viz-migrations>
CLI tool has been added, which can help migrate legacy (Area, Bubble,
Line, and Sunburst) chart types to the newer ECharts based versions.
Please let us know if this tool would be of interest to you and we can
look at running it on your behalf.
Once we assess feedback from users of superset-next, we will be able
to schedule a date for the upgrade of the production instance. All
things being well, we would hope to do this upgrade within *a week or
two*.
Feel free to share any feedback or queries about this upgrade in the
#data-engineering-collab Slack channel, or the #wikimedia-analytics
IRC channel, or any of the mailing lists where you read this, or
simply by reply if you prefer.
Kind regards,
Ben
