What is the best way to import existing taxonomy to Atlas

Guru

When moving to HDP what is the recommended way to transition existing taxonomy into Atlas?

There are two ways to setup an existing taxonomy into Atlas;

1.) If you have Hive, then run the import-hive.sh utility. This utility scans all of the hive tables and creates the matching Atlas entries. For 2.5.3, you will find the utility at ./2.5.3.0-37/atlas/hook-bin/import-hive.sh

2.) You can also add entries and update properties using the REST API. One article describing this is available at: https://community.hortonworks.com/content/kbentry/74064/add-custom-properties-to-existing-atlas-type...
