Apache Atlas - Automatic Data Lineage

What to expect

Object-level lineage

Dataedo builds object-level lineage for Apache Atlas datasource. It analyzes relations between objects returned from the Atlas API.

Object-level lineage

Known limitations

  1. Dataedo won't build column-level lineage (Atlas API doesn't return such information).
  2. If the API lacks data about the relation, lineage won't be built.
  3. The API returns information about lineage and other relations inside the same JSON property. Dataedo checks only two properties while building lineage (lineage in and lineage out). If lineage is defined in another tag, it won't be built.

Troubleshooting

I don't see object-level lineage

  1. Make sure mapping is set correctly (lineage won't be built between objects and columns).
  2. Rerun the import of the source.
