Renaming an object schema

Rename an object schema​

To rename an object schema (and maintain the original data), a transformation document must be provided.

For example, given this initial schema:

MySchema:
  type: object
  version: 1
  properties:
    field1:
      type: string

The following updated schema:

MyNewSchema:
  type: object
  version: 1
  properties:
    field1:
      type: string

The following migration document:

- target: MyNewSchema
  toVersion: 1
  source: MySchema
  properties:       # note: on a rename, it is not necessary to list the properties to be copied unless transforms are needed
    field1: field1

Then after migration, all rows in MySchema will be copied to MyNewSchema, and the original schema table will be renamed following the convention above.
