I might have missed this in the docs, but is it expected that the flyte backend is backwards-compatible with older
flytekit
versions? We have some other dependencies blocking upgrading
flytekit
presently, but would like to keep the backend services as up-to-date as possible

back to 1.0 of flytekit yeah

Fantastic, thanks for confirming @Yee
Hmm, it unfortunately looks like there were some incompatibilities between the 1.3.0 chart & flytekit 1.2.7 (we were unable to run any dynamic steps that fanned out/those tasks just stalled)

those should definitely be compatible.
why can’t you upgrade flyte btw? what are the dependency issues you’re seeing?

We're unfortunately blocked on protobuf due to another dependency (hilariously enough, kubeflow pipelines)

can you pull the futures file for the stalled tasks?

Ripping kubeflow out of our codebase soon, but right now the dependency constraints on protobuf aren't compatble

Yee

04/12/2023, 4:33 PM
so protobuf 3

What's the futures file? Happy to look for it

Yee

04/12/2023, 4:33 PM
yeah
well maybe just look at the admin endpoint, that might be easier.

Sorry, could you clarify? What should I be looking at?

So just saw some more interesting behavior - we also hit this after rolling back, but in this particular situation we had 3 concurrently running dynamic workflows (that in turn all had >500 nodes in the pipeline). it took approx. an hour for the actual dynamic step to complete & fan-out, but all of them are now executing
