A CLI to work with DataHub metadata

Project description

DataHub Metadata Ingestion

Python version 3.6+

This module hosts an extensible Python-based metadata ingestion system for DataHub. This supports sending data to DataHub using Kafka or through the REST API. It can be used through our CLI tool, with an orchestrator like Airflow, or as a library.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Before running any metadata ingestion job, you should make sure that DataHub backend services are all running. If you are trying this out locally, the easiest way to do that is through quickstart Docker images.

Install from PyPI

The folks over at Acryl Data maintain a PyPI package for DataHub metadata ingestion.

# Requires Python 3.6+
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools
python3 -m pip uninstall datahub acryl-datahub || true  # sanity check - ok if it fails
python3 -m pip install --upgrade acryl-datahub
datahub version
# If you see "command not found", try running this instead: python3 -m datahub version

If you run into an error, try checking the common setup issues.

Installing Plugins

We use a plugin architecture so that you can install only the dependencies you actually need.

pip install 'acryl-datahub[bigquery,datahub-rest]'

You can check the active plugins:

datahub check plugins

Basic Usage

pip install 'acryl-datahub[datahub-rest]'  # install the required plugin
datahub ingest -c ./examples/recipes/example_to_datahub_rest.yml

Install using Docker

Docker Hub datahub-ingestion docker

If you don't want to install locally, you can alternatively run metadata ingestion within a Docker container. We have prebuilt images available on Docker hub. All plugins will be installed and enabled automatically.

Limitation: the datahub_docker.sh convenience script assumes that the recipe and any input/output files are accessible in the current working directory or its subdirectories. Files outside the current working directory will not be found, and you'll need to invoke the Docker image directly.

./scripts/datahub_docker.sh ingest -c ./examples/recipes/example_to_datahub_rest.yml

Install from source

If you'd like to install from source, see the developer guide.

Recipes

A recipe is a configuration file that tells our ingestion scripts where to pull data from (source) and where to put it (sink). Here's a simple example that pulls metadata from MSSQL and puts it into datahub.

# A sample recipe that pulls metadata from MSSQL and puts it into DataHub
# using the Rest API.
source:
  type: mssql
  config:
    username: sa
    password: ${MSSQL_PASSWORD}
    database: DemoData

transformers:
  - type: "fully-qualified-class-name-of-transformer"
    config:
      some_property: "some.value"

sink:
  type: "datahub-rest"
  config:
    server: "http://localhost:8080"

We automatically expand environment variables in the config, similar to variable substitution in GNU bash or in docker-compose files. For details, see https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-file-v2/#variable-substitution.

Running a recipe is quite easy.

datahub ingest -c ./examples/recipes/mssql_to_datahub.yml

A number of recipes are included in the examples/recipes directory.

Sources

Kafka Metadata kafka

Extracts:

  • List of topics - from the Kafka broker
  • Schemas associated with each topic - from the schema registry
source:
  type: "kafka"
  config:
    connection:
      bootstrap: "broker:9092"
      consumer_config: {} # passed to https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/clients/confluent-kafka-python/html/index.html#serde-consumer
      schema_registry_url: http://localhost:8081
      schema_registry_config: {} # passed to https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/clients/confluent-kafka-python/html/index.html#confluent_kafka.schema_registry.SchemaRegistryClient

For a full example with a number of security options, see this example recipe.

MySQL Metadata mysql

Extracts:

  • List of databases and tables
  • Column types and schema associated with each table
source:
  type: mysql
  config:
    username: root
    password: example
    database: dbname
    host_port: localhost:3306
    table_pattern:
      deny:
        # Note that the deny patterns take precedence over the allow patterns.
        - "performance_schema"
      allow:
        - "schema1.table2"
      # Although the 'table_pattern' enables you to skip everything from certain schemas,
      # having another option to allow/deny on schema level is an optimization for the case when there is a large number
      # of schemas that one wants to skip and you want to avoid the time to needlessly fetch those tables only to filter
      # them out afterwards via the table_pattern.
    schema_pattern:
      deny:
        - "garbage_schema"
      allow:
        - "schema1"

Microsoft SQL Server Metadata mssql

We have two options for the underlying library used to connect to SQL Server: (1) python-tds and (2) pyodbc. The TDS library is pure Python and hence easier to install, but only PyODBC supports encrypted connections.

Extracts:

  • List of databases, schema, tables and views
  • Column types associated with each table/view
source:
  type: mssql
  config:
    username: user
    password: pass
    host_port: localhost:1433
    database: DemoDatabase
    include_views: True # whether to include views, defaults to True
    table_pattern:
      deny:
        - "^.*\\.sys_.*" # deny all tables that start with sys_
      allow:
        - "schema1.table1"
        - "schema1.table2"
    options:
      # Any options specified here will be passed to SQLAlchemy's create_engine as kwargs.
      # See https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/core/engines.html#sqlalchemy.create_engine for details.
      # Many of these options are specific to the underlying database driver, so that library's
      # documentation will be a good reference for what is supported. To find which dialect is likely
      # in use, consult this table: https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/dialects/index.html.
      charset: "utf8"
    # If set to true, we'll use the pyodbc library. This requires you to have
    # already installed the Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server.
    # See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/python/pyodbc/step-1-configure-development-environment-for-pyodbc-python-development?view=sql-server-ver15
    use_odbc: False
    uri_args: {}
Example: using ingestion with ODBC and encryption

This requires you to have already installed the Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/python/pyodbc/step-1-configure-development-environment-for-pyodbc-python-development?view=sql-server-ver15

    env: "PROD" # Optional, default is "PROD"

See documentation for superset's /security/login at https://superset.apache.org/docs/rest-api for more details on superset's login api.

Oracle oracle

Extracts:

  • List of databases, schema, and tables
  • Column types associated with each table

Using the Oracle source requires that you've also installed the correct drivers; see the cx_Oracle docs. The easiest one is the Oracle Instant Client.

source:
  type: oracle
  config:
    # For more details on authentication, see the documentation:
    # https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/dialects/oracle.html#dialect-oracle-cx_oracle-connect and
    # https://cx-oracle.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/connection_handling.html#connection-strings.
    username: user
    password: pass
    host_port: localhost:5432
    database: dbname
    service_name: svc # omit database if using this option
    include_views: True # whether to include views, defaults to True
    # table_pattern/schema_pattern is same as above
    # options is same as above

Feast feast

Note: Feast ingestion requires Docker to be installed.

Extracts:

  • List of feature tables (modeled as MLFeatureTables), features (MLFeatures), and entities (MLPrimaryKeys)
  • Column types associated with each feature and entity

Note: this uses a separate Docker container to extract Feast's metadata into a JSON file, which is then parsed to DataHub's native objects. This was done because of a dependency conflict in the feast module.

source:
  type: feast
  config:
    core_url: localhost:6565 # default
    env: "PROD" # Optional, default is "PROD"
    use_local_build: False # Whether to build Feast ingestion image locally, default is False

Google BigQuery bigquery

Extracts:

  • List of databases, schema, and tables
  • Column types associated with each table
source:
  type: bigquery
  config:
    project_id: project # optional - can autodetect from environment
    options: # options is same as above
      # See https://github.com/mxmzdlv/pybigquery#authentication for details.
      credentials_path: "/path/to/keyfile.json" # optional
      include_views: True # whether to include views, defaults to True
    # table_pattern/schema_pattern is same as above

AWS Athena athena

Extracts:

  • List of databases and tables
  • Column types associated with each table
source:
  type: athena
  config:
    username: aws_access_key_id # Optional. If not specified, credentials are picked up according to boto3 rules.
    # See https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/credentials.html
    password: aws_secret_access_key # Optional.
    database: database # Optional, defaults to "default"
    aws_region: aws_region_name # i.e. "eu-west-1"
    s3_staging_dir: s3_location # "s3://<bucket-name>/prefix/"
    # The s3_staging_dir parameter is needed because Athena always writes query results to S3.
    # See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/ug/querying.html
    # However, the athena driver will transparently fetch these results as you would expect from any other sql client.
    work_group: athena_workgroup # "primary"
    include_views: True # whether to include views, defaults to True
    # table_pattern/schema_pattern is same as above

AWS Glue glue

Note: if you also have files in S3 that you'd like to ingest, we recommend you use Glue's built-in data catalog. See here for a quick guide on how to set up a crawler on Glue and ingest the outputs with DataHub.

Extracts:

  • List of tables
  • Column types associated with each table
  • Table metadata, such as owner, description and parameters
  • Jobs and their component transformations, data sources, and data sinks
source:
  type: glue
  config:
    aws_region: # aws_region_name, i.e. "eu-west-1"
    extract_transforms: True # whether to ingest Glue jobs, defaults to True
    env: # environment for the DatasetSnapshot URN, one of "DEV", "EI", "PROD" or "CORP". Defaults to "PROD".

    # Filtering patterns for databases and tables to scan
    database_pattern: # Optional, to filter databases scanned, same as schema_pattern above.
    table_pattern: # Optional, to filter tables scanned, same as table_pattern above.

    # Credentials. If not specified here, these are picked up according to boto3 rules.
    # (see https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/credentials.html)
    aws_access_key_id: # Optional.
    aws_secret_access_key: # Optional.
    aws_session_token: # Optional.
    aws_role: # Optional (Role chaining supported by using a sorted list).

Druid druid

Extracts:

  • List of databases, schema, and tables
  • Column types associated with each table

Note It is important to define a explicitly define deny schema pattern for internal druid databases (lookup & sys) if adding a schema pattern otherwise the crawler may crash before processing relevant databases. This deny pattern is defined by default but is overriden by user-submitted configurations

source:
  type: druid
  config:
    # Point to broker address
    host_port: localhost:8082
    schema_pattern:
      deny:
        - "^(lookup|sys).*"
    # options is same as above

Other databases using SQLAlchemy sqlalchemy

The sqlalchemy source is useful if we don't have a pre-built source for your chosen database system, but there is an SQLAlchemy dialect defined elsewhere. In order to use this, you must pip install the required dialect packages yourself.

Extracts:

  • List of schemas and tables
  • Column types associated with each table
source:
  type: sqlalchemy
  config:
    # See https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/core/engines.html#database-urls
    connect_uri: "dialect+driver://username:password@host:port/database"
    options: {} # same as above
    schema_pattern: {} # same as above
    table_pattern: {} # same as above
    include_views: True # whether to include views, defaults to True

MongoDB mongodb

Extracts:

  • List of databases
  • List of collections in each database and infers schemas for each collection

By default, schema inference samples 1,000 documents from each collection. Setting schemaSamplingSize: null will scan the entire collection.

Note that schemaSamplingSize has no effect if enableSchemaInference: False is set.

source:
  type: "mongodb"
  config:
    # For advanced configurations, see the MongoDB docs.
    # https://pymongo.readthedocs.io/en/stable/examples/authentication.html
    connect_uri: "mongodb://localhost"
    username: admin
    password: password
    env: "PROD" # Optional, default is "PROD"
    authMechanism: "DEFAULT"
    options: {}
    database_pattern: {}
    collection_pattern: {}
    enableSchemaInference: True
    schemaSamplingSize: 1000
    # database_pattern/collection_pattern are similar to schema_pattern/table_pattern from above

LDAP ldap

Extracts:

  • List of people
  • Names, emails, titles, and manager information for each person
  • List of groups
source:
  type: "ldap"
  config:
    ldap_server: ldap://localhost
    ldap_user: "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=org"
    ldap_password: "admin"
    base_dn: "dc=example,dc=org"
    filter: "(objectClass=*)" # optional field
    drop_missing_first_last_name: False # optional

The drop_missing_first_last_name should be set to true if you've got many "headless" user LDAP accounts for devices or services should be excluded when they do not contain a first and last name. This will only impact the ingestion of LDAP users, while LDAP groups will be unaffected by this config option.

LookML lookml

Note! This plugin uses a package that requires Python 3.7+!

Extracts:

  • LookML views from model files
  • Name, upstream table names, dimensions, measures, and dimension groups
source:
  type: "lookml"
  config:
    base_folder: /path/to/model/files # Where the *.model.lkml and *.view.lkml files are stored.
    connection_to_platform_map: # mapping between connection names in the model files to platform names.
      my_snowflake_conn: snowflake
    platform_name: looker_views # Optional, default is "looker_views"
    actor: "urn:li:corpuser:etl" # Optional, "urn:li:corpuser:etl"
    model_pattern: {}
    view_pattern: {}
    env: "PROD" # Optional, default is "PROD"
    parse_table_names_from_sql: False # See note below.

Note! The integration can use sql-metadata to try to parse the tables the views depends on. As these SQL's can be complicated, and the package doesn't official support all the SQL dialects that Looker support, the result might not be correct. This parsing is disables by default, but can be enabled by setting parse_table_names_from_sql: True.

Looker dashboards looker

Extracts:

  • Looker dashboards and dashboard elements (charts)
  • Names, descriptions, URLs, chart types, input view for the charts
source:
  type: "looker"
  config:
    client_id: str # Your Looker API client ID. As your Looker admin
    client_secret: str # Your Looker API client secret. As your Looker admin
    base_url: str # The url to your Looker instance: https://company.looker.com:19999 or https://looker.company.com, or similar.
    platform_name: str = "looker" # Optional, default is "looker"
    view_platform_name: str = "looker_views" # Optional, default is "looker_views". Should be the same `platform_name` in the `lookml` source, if that source is also run.
    actor: str = "urn:li:corpuser:etl" # Optional, "urn:li:corpuser:etl"
    dashboard_pattern: AllowDenyPattern = AllowDenyPattern.allow_all()
    chart_pattern: AllowDenyPattern = AllowDenyPattern.allow_all()
    env: str = "PROD" # Optional, default is "PROD"

File file

Pulls metadata from a previously generated file. Note that the file sink can produce such files, and a number of samples are included in the examples/mce_files directory.

source:
  type: file
  config:
    filename: ./path/to/mce/file.json

dbt dbt

Pull metadata from dbt artifacts files:

  • dbt manifest file
    • This file contains model, source and lineage data.
  • dbt catalog file
    • This file contains schema data.
    • dbt does not record schema data for Ephemeral models, as such datahub will show Ephemeral models in the lineage, however there will be no associated schema for Ephemeral models
  • target_platform:
    • The data platform you are enriching with dbt metadata.
    • data platforms
  • load_schemas:
    • Load schemas from dbt catalog file, not necessary when the underlying data platform already has this data.
  • node_type_pattern:
    • Use this filter to exclude and include node types using allow or deny method
source:
  type: "dbt"
  config:
    manifest_path: "./path/dbt/manifest_file.json"
    catalog_path: "./path/dbt/catalog_file.json"
    target_platform: "postgres" # optional, eg "postgres", "snowflake", etc.
    load_schemas: True or False
    node_type_pattern: # optional
      deny:
        - ^test.*
      allow:
        - ^.*

Note: when load_schemas is False, models that use identifiers to reference their source tables are ingested using the model identifier as the model name to preserve the lineage.

Kafka Connect kafka-connect

Extracts:

  • Kafka Connect connector as individual DataFlowSnapshotClass entity
  • Creating individual DataJobSnapshotClass entity using {connector_name}:{source_dataset} naming
  • Lineage information between source database to Kafka topic
source:
  type: "kafka-connect"
  config:
    connect_uri: "http://localhost:8083"
    cluster_name: "connect-cluster"
    connector_patterns:
      deny:
        - ^denied-connector.*
      allow:
        - ^allowed-connector.*

Current limitations:

  • Currently works only for Debezium source connectors.

Sinks

DataHub Rest datahub-rest

Pushes metadata to DataHub using the GMA rest API. The advantage of the rest-based interface is that any errors can immediately be reported.

sink:
  type: "datahub-rest"
  config:
    server: "http://localhost:8080"

DataHub Kafka datahub-kafka

Pushes metadata to DataHub by publishing messages to Kafka. The advantage of the Kafka-based interface is that it's asynchronous and can handle higher throughput. This requires the Datahub mce-consumer container to be running.

sink:
  type: "datahub-kafka"
  config:
    connection:
      bootstrap: "localhost:9092"
      producer_config: {} # passed to https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/clients/confluent-kafka-python/index.html#serializingproducer
      schema_registry_url: "http://localhost:8081"
      schema_registry_config: {} # passed to https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/clients/confluent-kafka-python/html/index.html#confluent_kafka.schema_registry.SchemaRegistryClient

Console console

Simply prints each metadata event to stdout. Useful for experimentation and debugging purposes.

sink:
  type: "console"

File file

Outputs metadata to a file. This can be used to decouple metadata sourcing from the process of pushing it into DataHub, and is particularly useful for debugging purposes. Note that the file source can read files generated by this sink.

sink:
  type: file
  config:
    filename: ./path/to/mce/file.json

Transformations

Beyond basic ingestion, sometimes there might exist a need to modify the source data before passing it on to the sink. Example use cases could be to add ownership information, add extra tags etc.

In such a scenario, it is possible to configure a recipe with a list of transformers.

transformers:
  - type: "fully-qualified-class-name-of-transformer"
    config:
      some_property: "some.value"

A transformer class needs to inherit from Transformer.

simple_add_dataset_ownership

Adds a set of owners to every dataset.

transformers:
  - type: "simple_add_dataset_ownership"
    config:
      owner_urns:
        - "urn:li:corpuser:username1"
        - "urn:li:corpuser:username2"
        - "urn:li:corpGroup:groupname"

:::tip

If you'd like to add more complex logic for assigning ownership, you can use the more generic add_dataset_ownership transformer, which calls a user-provided function to determine the ownership of each dataset.

:::

simple_add_dataset_tags

Adds a set of tags to every dataset.

transformers:
  - type: "simple_add_dataset_tags"
    config:
      tag_urns:
        - "urn:li:tag:NeedsDocumentation"
        - "urn:li:tag:Legacy"

:::tip

If you'd like to add more complex logic for assigning tags, you can use the more generic add_dataset_tags transformer, which calls a user-provided function to determine the tags for each dataset.

Using as a library

In some cases, you might want to construct the MetadataChangeEvents yourself but still use this framework to emit that metadata to DataHub. In this case, take a look at the emitter interfaces, which can easily be imported and called from your own code.

Lineage with Airflow

There's a couple ways to get lineage information from Airflow into DataHub.

:::note Running ingestion on a schedule

If you're simply looking to run ingestion on a schedule, take a look at these sample DAGs:

:::

Using Datahub's Airflow lineage backend (recommended)

:::caution

The Airflow lineage backend is only supported in Airflow 1.10.15+ and 2.0.2+.

:::

  1. First, you must configure an Airflow hook for Datahub. We support both a Datahub REST hook and a Kafka-based hook, but you only need one.

    # For REST-based:
    airflow connections add  --conn-type 'datahub_rest' 'datahub_rest_default' --conn-host 'http://localhost:8080'
    # For Kafka-based (standard Kafka sink config can be passed via extras):
    airflow connections add  --conn-type 'datahub_kafka' 'datahub_kafka_default' --conn-host 'broker:9092' --conn-extra '{}'
    
  2. Add the following lines to your airflow.cfg file. You might need to

    [lineage]
    backend = datahub_provider.lineage.datahub.DatahubLineageBackend
    datahub_kwargs = {
        "datahub_conn_id": "datahub_rest_default",
        "capture_ownership_info": true,
        "capture_tags_info": true,
        "graceful_exceptions": true }
    # The above indentation is important!
    

    Configuration options:

    • datahub_conn_id (required): Usually datahub_rest_default or datahub_kafka_default, depending on what you named the connection in step 1.
    • capture_ownership_info (defaults to true): If true, the owners field of the DAG will be capture as a DataHub corpuser.
    • capture_tags_info (defaults to true): If true, the tags field of the DAG will be captured as DataHub tags.
    • graceful_exceptions (defaults to true): If set to true, most runtime errors in the lineage backend will be suppressed and will not cause the overall task to fail. Note that configuration issues will still throw exceptions.
  3. Configure inlets and outlets for your Airflow operators. For reference, look at the sample DAG in lineage_backend_demo.py.

  4. [optional] Learn more about Airflow lineage, including shorthand notation and some automation.

Emitting lineage via a separate operator

Take a look at this sample DAG:

In order to use this example, you must first configure the Datahub hook. Like in ingestion, we support a Datahub REST hook and a Kafka-based hook. See step 1 above for details.
