Upcoming Deprecated Node Metadata Changes

by Coalesce
Action Required

In our ongoing efforts to enhance performance and maintainability, we're removing some legacy metadata fields that are no longer needed.

This process is happening in two stages:

  • Release 7.14 - Already completed ✅

  • Release 7.15 - Coming soon

What this means for you:

  • No workflows will be disrupted.

  • No data will be affected.

When doing a commit, you might see changes for Nodes that you haven’t modified. This is expected when deprecated metadata is removed. You will need to:

  1. Making a commit with the changes.

  2. Continue on with your workflow.

Example of a commit with metadata changes

Deprecated Properties Removed:

Deprecated fields in 7.15 will affect all Source Node Types regardless of age or activity status. These fields may still appear in our API, but are no longer used in the Node metadata.

  • dataset

  • table

  • metadata.join

  • metadata.sourceMapping - already absent from most sources

See our previous changelog post about the changes in 7.14.

AI-Generated Documentation: Automatic Descriptions for Nodes, Columns, and Git Commit Messages

These features are currently in Private Preview. Please reach out to your Coalesce account manager to sign up.

Coalesce is introducing AI-generated descriptions for Node, Columns, and Git Commit messages.

By analyzing your data pipelines lineage and transformation metadata, it creates natural language descriptions. AI-generated descriptions streamlines documentation by creating clear explanations of data transformations and Git commits. Now you can focus on development while making sure your data pipelines are well documented. 

Organization admins can opt-in by going to Organization Settings > Preferences and toggling AI Features.
