Apache Atlas: core built-in types

 

In this post, I am going to explain core built-in types of Apache Atlas.

 

a.   Referenceable

b.   Asset

c.    Infrastructure

d.   DataSet

e.   Process

 


 

Referenceable

This type represents all entities that can be searched for using a unique attribute called qualifiedName.

Asset

Asset is a subtype of Referenceable, and adds attributes like name, description and owner. Here name is a mandatory attribute.

Process

Process type extends Asset. It is used to represent any data transformation operation. A Process type has two specific attributes, inputs and outputs, which are used to define data lineage. Both inputs and outputs are arrays of DataSet entities.
