User:Razziabuissa/Superset 1.3.1 upgrade recap

From Wikitech

I upgrade superset to 1.3.1 and ran into a couple snags upon the way. This is the raw information dump; I'll try to collect the takeaways and update the actual superset administration article https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Systems/Superset#Upgrading

Here is the original session, where I hit the sql error at the end which caused about 30 minutes of downtime.

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (MySQLdb._exceptions.OperationalError) (1118, 'Row size too large. The maximum row size for the used table type, not counting BLOBs, is 8126. This includes storage overhead, check the manual. You have to change some columns to TEXT or BLOBs')
[SQL: ALTER TABLE query ADD COLUMN limiting_factor VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT 'UNKNOWN']
(Background on this error at: http://sqlalche.me/e/13/e3q8)

We tried updating the table manually, which may have caused the migrations to get out of sync with the database, but we got the same error: 

MariaDB [superset_production]> ALTER TABLE query ADD COLUMN limiting_factor VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT 'UNKNOWN';
ERROR 1118 (42000): Row size too large. The maximum row size for the used table type, not counting BLOBs, is 8126. This includes storage overhead, check the manual. You have to change some columns to TEXT or BLOBs

Dropping superset_production and recreating from snapshot worked, though we may have lost a couple edits between the time that the database was dumped and the ui crashed.
