API changes

With the recent maintenance, we did a number of changes to sanitize the infrastructure and the pipelines. Some of these changes breaks the compatibility with older Fink versions. All changes apply from fink-broker version 1.4+ and fink-science version 0.5+, with a new schema.

Active Learning module

We introduced a name change for the output of the module. The old rfscore field is now replaced by rf_snia_vs_nonia. The module itself did not change, and the values remain the same.

Kilonova module

We introduced a name change for the output of the module. The old knscore field is now replaced by rf_kn_vs_nonkn. The module itself did not change, and the values remain the same.

Microlensing module

We shipped a new microlensing module still based on LIA, with a new schema for the output. We are not outputing anymore a struct with classes and probabilities from LIA, but a single double that is the mean of the per-band probabilities.

REST API

Queries

Nothing changed from the end-user perspective in the REST API. Indeed, we combine internally science module outputs in Fink to provide with you alert classification. So despite the active learning score rfscore changed its name into rf_snia_vs_nonia, the Early SN Ia candidates have still the label Early SN Ia candidate.

Data columns

The data columns have their names changed as well:
