pyapacheatlas 0.6.0

A package to simplify working with the Apache Atlas REST APIs for Atlas and Azure Purview.

PyApacheAtlas: API Support for Azure Purview and Apache Atlas

A python package to work with the Azure Purview and Apache Atlas API. Supporting bulk loading, custom lineage, and more from a Pythonic set of classes and Excel templates.

The package supports programmatic interaction and an Excel template for low-code uploads.

The Excel template provides a means to:

• Bulk upload entities
  • Supports adding glossary terms to entities.
  • Supports adding classifications to entities.
  • Supports creating relationships between entities (e.g. columns of a table).
• Creating custom lineage between two existing entities.
• Bulk upload of type definitions.
• Bulk upload of classification definitions (Purview Classification rules are not currently supported).
• Creating custom table and complex column level lineage in the Hive Bridge style.
  • Supports Azure Purview ColumnMapping Attributes.

The PyApacheAtlas package itself supports those operations and more for the advanced user:

• Programmatically create Entities, Types (Entity, Relationship, etc.).
• Perform partial updates of an entity (for non-complex attributes like strings or integers).
• Extracting entities by guid or qualified name.
• Creating custom lineage with Process and Entity types.
• Working with the glossary.
  • Uploading terms.
  • Downloading individual or all terms.
• Working with classifications.
  • Classify one entity with multiple classifications.
  • Classify multiple entities with a single classification.
  • Remove classification ("declassify") from an entity.
• Working with relationships.
  • Able to create arbitrary relationships between entities.
  • e.g. associating a given column with a table.
• Deleting types (by name) or entities (by guid).
• Creating a column lineage scaffolding as in the Hive Bridge Style .
• Performing "What-If" analysis to check if...
  • Your entities are valid types.
  • Your entities are missing required attributes.
  • Your entities are using undefined attributes.
• Search (only for Azure Purview advanced search).
• Authentication to Azure Purview via Service Principal.
• Authentication using basic authentication of username and password for open source Atlas.
