Hi Team,

We are required to update the capabilities of existing CDF groups to add features like “Streams and Records”, “Functions and Workflows”, etc. Since, it is required to do in the production, so we tried to automate it through python scripts.
However, we realized there is no function to update the group capabilities in python sdk.
One option is to delete the existing groups and re-create a new one with the updated capabilities, but doing so in production environment posses some risks, like pipeline failed after deleting and before re-creating the groups, etc.

Another option is to manually add the new capabilities, however, this practice should also be avoided in Prod env.

Hence, suggesting you add the update function.

Thanks for raising this ​@rkumar87.  You are correct that the SDK doesn’t support updating group capabilities today, as the underlying APIs do not yet provide this operation.

That said, you’re highlighting a very important need, being able to adjust capabilities safely in production without relying on delete and recreate which currently leads to the challenges you have highlighted. We will evaluate what it would take to support this and get back once we have more clarity. The requirement is clear.
