What status should a dataset be in when an uninstall fails?

[Foxcapades]

There are no statuses tracking dataset uninstall status. We have no indication for uninstallation failures.

Datasets that are marked as deleted are hidden from the UI so this would not impact UX and would be for internal use only.

The only place this would be known is by looking at the logs.

We might want something in pg, or use the install-status

I propose an overhaul of the current InstallStatus enum to track the full lifecycle of datasets in an application database.

If I had my way, I would change InstallStatus to AppDbDatasetStatus and make the following changes to the values:

• Rename:

  • running -> install-running
  • complete -> install-complete

• Add:

  • uninstall-running
  • uninstall-complete
  • uninstall-failed
  • ready-for-uninstall

Additionally I would change the is_deleted flag field in the datasets control table back to a boolean value rather than a 3-state int enum and rely on using the ready-for-uninstall status rather than an int value whose meaning will be lost to time.

This would also be visible in the app db
