Hello, I am using kedro with dvc for data version control. The dvc is based on

gto

which depends on

semver >= 3

Unfortunately I cannot install

kedro-viz

since

kedro-viz 6.3.0

depends on

semver < 3

Is there any reason why

kedro-viz

is limited to

semver < 3

? The current

semver

is

3.0.1

. Could anyone from kedro-viz team relax this dependency limitation?

Sorry for the late response. Any chance you know why they did this? https://github.com/iterative/gto/pull/348, it looks like it’s just an automated bump but not necessarily breaking anything. Ccing @Rashida Kanchwala @Ravi Kumar Pilla Do you know why we pin

semver <3

?

Hi @Nok Lam Chan, thanks for this reply. I am using dvc just to save the binary files in order to keep them close to my repo. I could use GitLFS, but I prefer to version binary files with DVC. GTO is very simple “Dataset registry” for my case. It is using git tags in order to tags the artifacts name+version, so I can quickly gith checkout the proper revision (providin the artifact name + version), get the MD5 hash of the binary file (dataset in tar) and run

dvc pull

, which pretty close to

git pull

🙂 Everything has nice CLI with `dvc`; see dvc.org I do not know why the are using semver >= 3

@Rafał Nowak dataset registry = being able to browse past versions of a dataset?

What do you mean by “data registry”? what are you using it for

For me dataset registry is for 1. Prepare data file (possibly binary file, for example with dataset created by kedro pipeline -> stored locally on disk) 2. Send data file to the remote storage 3. Register the data file semehow -> GTO is adding git tag the recent commit of GIT -> for example

dataset@v0.3.5

DVC

is able to get the registered artifact

dataset

provided any version. So

dvc get dataset@v0.3.5

it cloning the repo in temporary dir -> checkout out the

dvc

hash -> downloading the proper file from remote storage -> moving the file to you current directory location 🙂 DVC can work with storage being s3, gcp, goodle drive 🙂 … and many more that I do not use,

thanks a lot for the insight @Rafał Nowak. it's not the first time someone uses DVC alongside Kedro https://kedro-org.slack.com/archives/C03RKP2LW64/p1683296725893669?thread_ts=1683296578.127849&cid=C03RKP2LW64 we should definitely look more into this
