#2968 data query: renamed data items are not found by their old name
Opened by hammz · 10/2/2026· Shipped 10/3/2026
Gap
swamp data rename leaves the old name forwarding to the new one, and swamp data get (and CEL data.latest) follows that forward reference. data query matches name exactly, and the catalog backfill skips renamed and deleted items, so a query by the old name returns nothing.
Expected
Decide how data query should treat renamed items (for example resolve forwards for an exact name match, or expose the forward as a field) so that reads that relied on data get following a rename have a query equivalent.
Context: swamp data get is being deprecated in favor of swamp data query (follow-up to swamp-club#2948). This closes one gap that data query has compared with data get.
