Using Datahub Ingestion CLI Version 0.12.1.5 for Metadata Recipes in a Datahub of Version 0.10.4

Original Slack Thread

Hi!!! :wave::skin-tone-2:
Is it possible to use Datahub Ingestion CLI version 0.12.1.5 for metadata recipes in a Datahub installed in version 0.10.4 ?

Hey there! :wave: Make sure your message includes the following information if relevant, so we can help more effectively!

  1. Are you using UI or CLI for ingestion?
  2. Which DataHub version are you using? (e.g. 0.12.0)
  3. What data source(s) are you integrating with DataHub? (e.g. BigQuery)

You could just ingest and see if it throws an exception… I would think gms would fail if it sees a new aspect that it doesn’t know about, like browsepathv2

And rollback if it doesn’t work out.

We generally design our ingestion CLI to be backwards compatible. That’s a decent jump in version so you may get some errors as xL says, but it’s worth a shot. Even if there’s an aspect that’s not recognized, ingestion should still run to completion… it’ll just also report a failure
