Manually creating data lineage in Apache Atlas on CDP

ipson — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 06:28:33 GMT

I have two hive tables and I want to manually create a lineage relationship between them using the Atlas API.

I'm trying to run this POST request:

```

curl --location 'https://[url]/atlas/api/atlas/v2/entity' \

--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

--header 'Authorization: ••••••' \

--data-raw '{

"entity": {

"typeName": "hive_process",

"qualifiedName": "my_etl_process@cluster",

"name": "my_etl_process",

"description": "ETL process from input_table to output_table",

"attributes": {

"inputs": [

{

"guid": "9768381b-8783-49c3-850d-39bf1f14b73f"

}

"outputs": [

{

"guid": "998de7ba-2254-418d-b405-656eba428643"

}

]

}

```

I'm getting this 404 response:

```

{

"errorCode": "ATLAS-404-00-007",

"errorMessage": "Invalid instance creation/updation parameters passed : hive_process.qualifiedName: mandatory attribute value missing in type Referenceable"

}

```

Any suggestions for how to manually create lineage using the API would be appreciated.

Hi @ipson

Thanks for bringing up the issue, The error message indicates that the qualifiedName attribute is missing or incorrectly specified for the hive_process type. In Apache Atlas, the qualifiedName is a mandatory attribute that uniquely identifies an entity within a cluster.
