Re:Ask HN: How do you version your data? by endymi0n on Monday February 20, 2017 @09:19AM (#13687387)
+1 for Snowplow's approach. If you have an app out there in the wild (with autoupgrades off for at least 10% of devices), there isn't such a thing as "we'll do a hard cutoff for our tracking data". Their way, the data is versioned in self-describing contexts so they are separated from JavaScript tracker to database (two different tables), and you can write an ongoing migration between the tables. Very helpful.
