Create a new meta model in Atlas

avatar
Rising Star

I'd like to define and create a new meta model in Atlas.

I would like it to store a date and a value, but also inherit values from existing types: hive tables and dbs.

I can create new simple types and entities, but I'm having problems getting the right behaviour for the hive tables and dbs.

I when I create a simple type with 'superTypes' of Asset and Referenceable I'm able to create simple entities. But when I use DataSet I get errors.

Here's a type I tried (I get get values and dates to work so this is just trying to get the hive_db attribute to work):

{
  "enumTypes": [],
  "structTypes": [],
  "traitTypes": [],
  "classTypes": [
    {
      "superTypes": [
	  "DataSet"
      ],
      "hierarchicalMetaTypeName": "org.apache.atlas.typesystem.types.ClassType",
      "typeName": "test_type_class_22",
      "typeDescription": null,
      "attributeDefinitions": [
		{
         "dataTypeName": "hive_db",
         "isComposite": false,
         "isIndexable": true,
         "isUnique": false,
         "multiplicity": "required",
         "name": "db",
         "reverseAttributeName": null
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

But I don't know how to properly create values that point to the actual 'default' database.

{
 "jsonClass":"org.apache.atlas.typesystem.json.InstanceSerialization$_Reference",
 "id":{
 "jsonClass":"org.apache.atlas.typesystem.json.InstanceSerialization$_Id",
 "id":"-1566683608564093000",
 "version":0,
 "typeName":"test_type_class_22",
 "state":"ACTIVE"
 },
 "typeName":"test_type_class_22",
 "values":{
 "name":"default"
 "qualifiedName":"default@Sandbox",
 "description":"test description",
 "owner":null,
 "db": "default"
 },
 "traitNames":[
 ],
 "traits":{
 }
}

For the value of 'db' (which is of datatype hive_db) I tried "default", "default@Sandbox", "default.test_type_class_22@sandbox" and "da862503-62f0-41a6-8acc-da4efcf856eb". I just don't know what I should be setting this to. Any ideas? All return the error similar to:

@Laura Ngo if you need to create an entity with attribute of type class - you need to mention it in Id format.

hive_db must be referenced through Id, as shown in the sample below.

POST http://localhost:21000/api/atlas/entities

{
  "jsonClass": "org.apache.atlas.typesystem.json.InstanceSerialization$_Reference",
  "id": {
    "jsonClass": "org.apache.atlas.typesystem.json.InstanceSerialization$_Id",
    "id": "-1566683608564093000",
    "version": 0,
    "typeName": "test_type_class_22",
    "state": "ACTIVE"
  },
  "typeName": "test_type_class_22",
  "values": {
    "name": "default",
    "qualifiedName": "default@Sandbox",
    "description": "test description",
    "owner": null,
    "db": {
      "jsonClass": "org.apache.atlas.typesystem.json.InstanceSerialization$_Id",
      "id": "da862503-62f0-41a6-8acc-da4efcf856eb",
      "version": 0,
      "typeName": "hive_db",
      "state": "ACTIVE"
    }
  },
  "traitNames": [],
  "traits": {}
}

Would recommend using the V2 apis for easy integration and interfacing with Atlas.

Does V2 ship with 0.8? What hdp release is that likely to be in? 2.6 or 3?

avatar
Expert Contributor

Yes, Atlas 0.8 will have all the new v2 APIs for types, entities, lineage and discovery. The corresponding HDP release will be 2.6

I think this might prove useful for understanding the APIs and the integration
