Remove Materializations #442

Closed callum-mcdata closed 1 year ago

callum-mcdata commented 1 year ago

The Feature

As part of the integration with dbt-core, we will be removing materializations from MetricFlow. The functionality will most likely exist in some other form but it won't be materializations.

Would you like to contribute? Absolutely. Happy to take this on as a first commit to MetricFlow and additionally a first pass at the stacked diffs method of commits.

:wave: Will this be a name change ? Or is it deeper than that ?

@callum-mcdata I saw that this PR: https://github.com/dbt-labs/metricflow/pull/445 is merged.

Will we get materialization in some other form ? What are the alternative for users that already have materializations enabled in their projects ?

How do we materialize metrics in dbt 1.6-1.7 ? Did you ever find an answer @mazinesy ?
