Migrate a namespace between servers and namespace

Hi,

not sure this is possible, but any ideas on how one could migrate a namespace between servers while also changing the namespace name.

If the name would be the same between servers, I guess one could try to connect the clusters, enable replication and migrate this way. If the namespace differs, that’s afaik not possible though. Is there a way to migrate namespace first via replication and then change name of the namespace?

Or is the best approach trying to handle the migration from the client side, by managing two connections and over time draining all workflows on the old cluster?

Thanks for any tips/ideas,

Hardy

Yes, once you replicated a namespace and failed over to the new cluster you can update namespace any way you want on new active cluster.

Maybe demo in this repo can help in addition to docs.

Cool, thanks. I think this might be the best option. I give it a go.
