Upgrade Prod Superset instance to version 4.0.1

[himeshr]

Acceptance Criteria

• Upgrade our current prod superset to version 4.0.1. https://github.com/apache/superset/releases/tag/4.0.1
  • The metadata is currently stored on the ec2 instance itself, therefore, we'll need to ensure that we take a manual backup before we start with the upgradation work.
• Also, setup automatic storage backups for the prod superset ec2 instance for recovery purposes
• Configure the system to use required features
  • TAGGING_SYSTEM
  • Drill-By
  • Full CSV export
    Discuss with implementation team and update this section.

Fixing issue with existing report after upgradation

1. Analyse report.
2. If report broken then Categorise into type of issues .
3. Document recovery steps for each issue.
4. Apply fix in all broken reports.

Validation

• All existing reports should not be broken, make changes in reports via sql commands or so to fix large scale modifications required
