Python版本
Superset is tested against Python 2.7 and Python 3.4. Airbnb currently uses 2.7.* in production. We do not plan on supporting Python 2.6.
云原生 Cloud-native
Superset is designed to be highly available. It is “cloud-native” as it has been designed scale out in large, distributed environments, and works well inside containers. While you can easily test drive Superset on a modest setup or simply on your laptop, there’s virtually no limit around scaling out the platform. Superset is also cloud-native in the sense that it is flexible and lets you choose your web server (Gunicorn, Nginx, Apache), your metadata database engine (MySQL, Postgres, MariaDB, …), your message queue (Redis, RabbitMQ, SQS, …), your results backend (S3, Redis, Memcached, …), your caching layer (memcached, Redis, …), works well with services like NewRelic, StatsD and DataDog, and has the ability to run analytic workloads against most popular database technologies.
Superset is battle tested in large environments with hundreds of concurrent users. Airbnb’s production environment runs inside Kubernetes and serves 600+ daily active users viewing over 100K charts a day.
The Superset web server and the Superset Celery workers (optional) are stateless, so you can scale out by running on as many servers as needed.
安装和启动
采用 镜像 amancevice/superset 进行安装。
注意容器内的两个路径，/var/lib/superset是元数据的数据库地址，/etc/superset or /home/superset是配置文件的地址。
Volumes
The image defines two data volumes: one for mounting configuration into the container, and one for data (logs, SQLite DBs, &c).
The configuration volume is located alternatively at /etc/superset or /home/superset; either is acceptable. Both of these directories are included in the PYTHONPATH of the image. Mount any configuration (specifically the superset_config.py file) here to have it read by the app on startup.
The data volume is located at /var/lib/superset and it is where you would mount your SQLite file (if you are using that as your backend), or a volume to collect any logs that are routed there. This location is used as the value of the SUPERSET_HOME environmental variable.

SECRET_KEY注意在容器启动前就设置好，值好像跟某些元数据有关系，笔者在第一次启动后修改重启容器，遇到数据源无法查看的问题。

参考了 这个issue 重新执行了命令 superset init 即可。

从 github源码 可以看出来 superset-init 命令是原来几个初始化命令的组合。
2. localhost:8088无法访问
由于笔者的ss开了全局代理模式导致。。。
期间参考其他文章手动执行了 superset runserver 命令，通过返回的日志信息可以看到这种启动方式已经被 gunicorn 方式替代。
3. 打开数据源报错
第一次启动后更改了superset_config.py里的SECRET_KEY导致。默认值是:
SECRET_KEY = '\2\1thisismyscretkey\1\2\e\y\y\h'
