Running Overwatch

An Overwatch deployment is simply a workload and as such can be run within a notebook or as a Job using a Main class

As of Version 0.7.1.0

To deploy Overwatch through the following methods it is required to have version 0710+

Legacy Deployments

As of version 0.7.1.0 Overwatch will begin sunsetting legacy deployment methods. Please reference the links above for a simpler and more advanced method for deploying Overwatch. This method will likely be deprecated in Overwatch version 0.8 and no longer be supported in 0.9.

Legacy deployment models can still executed on 0710+ but this deployment model will be deprecated in the future and you should consider switching to the new model as time permits.

Migrating From Legacy Deployments

If you’re ready to migrate from the legacy deployment to the new deployment method, all you need to do is:

  • Stop all the Overwatch jobs on all workspaces
  • Follow the deployment guide here
  • BEFORE YOU RUN DEPLOYMENT – if you’re using an internal metastore, execute the drop database commands below
    • This will drop your database schemas / metadata (NOT THE DATA) and ensure all the metadata paths line up. After you complete the subsequent Overwatch run the databases and all the data will reappear in your metastore.
    • This will take your databases offline for a bit (on this workspace only) while the Overwatch job runs.
drop database <etl_database_name> cascade;
drop database <consumer_database_name> cascade;
