Palantir upgrade migration

Palantir Upgrade & Migration

Overview

Safely upgrade foundry-platform-sdk versions, handle breaking changes, and migrate between Foundry API versions. Includes a step-by-step upgrade checklist and rollback procedure.

Prerequisites

• Current foundry-platform-sdk installed
• Git for version control
• Test suite covering Foundry API calls
• Staging environment

Instructions

Step 1: Check Current Version and Available Updates

set -euo pipefail
pip show foundry-platform-sdk | grep -E "^(Name|Version)"
pip index versions foundry-platform-sdk 2>/dev/null | head -3
# Check OSDK version too
npm list @osdk/client 2>/dev/null || echo "OSDK not installed"

Step 2: Review Changelog

# Check GitHub releases for breaking changes
python -c "
import urllib.request, json
url = 'https://api.github.com/repos/palantir/foundry-platform-python/releases?per_page=5'
releases = json.loads(urllib.request.urlopen(url).read())
for r in releases:
    print(f'{r[\"tag_name\"]:12s} {r[\"published_at\"][:10]}')
    body = r.get('body', '')[:200]
    if 'BREAKING' in body.upper():
        print(f'  *** BREAKING CHANGES DETECTED ***')
    print()
"

Step 3: Create Upgrade Branch and Update

set -euo pipefail
git checkout -b upgrade/foundry-sdk-$(date +%Y%m%d)
pip install --upgrade foundry-platform-sdk
pip show foundry-platform-sdk | grep Version

Step 4: Run Tests and Fix Breaking Changes

set -euo pipefail
pytest tests/ -v --tb=short 2>&1 | tee upgrade-test-results.txt
# Review failures for breaking changes
grep -E "FAILED|ERROR" upgrade-test-results.txt

Common breaking changes between versions:

# v0.x → v1.x: Client initialization changed
# Before:
client = foundry.FoundryClient(auth=foundry.UserTokenAuth(token="..."))
# After:
client = foundry.FoundryClient(
    auth=foundry.UserTokenAuth(hostname="...", token="..."),
    hostname="...",
)

# v1.x → v2.x: Ontology methods moved
# Before:
client.ontology.list_objects(...)
# After:
client.ontologies.OntologyObject.list(...)

Step 5: Verify in Staging

# Deploy to staging and run smoke tests
FOUNDRY_HOSTNAME=$STAGING_HOSTNAME pytest tests/integration/ -v

Step 6: Rollback Procedure

# Pin previous version
pip install foundry-platform-sdk==0.8.0
# Or revert the branch
git checkout main -- requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements.txt

Output

• Updated SDK version with all tests passing
• Breaking changes identified and fixed
• Staging verification completed
• Rollback procedure documented

Change Type	Detection	Fix
Renamed method	AttributeError in tests	Update method calls
Changed parameters	TypeError in tests	Update function signatures
Removed feature	ImportError	Find replacement in changelog
New required param	ApiError: 400	Add missing parameter
