We're changing the way Redshift transformations and sandboxes are provisioned.
During the week from September 26th to September 30th all projects will be migrated. What does that mean for you?
Faster with less errors
In certain situations (eg. table locks) creating of a sandbox would take a long time. After the migration provisioning will no longer depend on any locks in the whole Redshift cluster.
Provisioning and data loading
We're offloading the input mapping work to Storage API. Storage API is now in charge of creating the sandbox or transformation workspace for you as well as loading the data into it. Storage API will decide the fastest way to load required data into your workspace.
Credentials change
Username, password and schema for your Redshift sandbox will change and new sandboxes will be created. Your current sandboxes will be deleted 7 days after the migration. UI will no longer serve credentials for your current sandbox, only for the newly generated one. You will not be able to load data into your current sandbox.
No direct access to bucket data
If your transformation uses data directly from a Redshift schema, this won't be supported. Queries like
SELECT * FROM "in.c-mybucket"."table"
will no longer have access to in.c-mybucket Redshift schema. If your transformation contains such queries, please adjust the query so that it uses a table specified in the input mapping.
Transparent and hassle free migration
There will be no service interruption and no expected delay in your transformations. Unless you're using direct access to bucket data there is no action required. In case of any problems the whole migration is reversible.
