{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Pin dependencies to major version ranges","articleBody":"We have recently had a bunch of issues due to dependencies not being limited appropriately. For example, having `google-cloud-bigquery\u003e=2.28.1` led to issues when `google-cloud-bigquery` released breaking changes in `v3.0.0`: see #2537 for the issue and #2554 which included the fix. Similarly, #2484 occurred since our `protobuf` dependency was not limited.\r\n\r\nI think we should limit dependencies to the next major version. For example, if we currently use version N of a package, we should also limit it to v\u003c(N+1). This way we are not exposed to breaking changes in all our upstream dependencies, while also maintaining a reasonable amount of flexibility for users. If a version N+1 is released and users want us to support it, they can let us know and we can add support; limiting to v\u003c(N+1) just ensures that we aren't being broken all the time.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/felixwang9817","@type":"Person","name":"felixwang9817"},"datePublished":"2022-04-15T23:57:25.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/2557/feast/issues/2557"}
