Datahub

datahub (datahub-project variant)

The datahub utility centrally track all your metadata assets pushing metadata to datahub.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

If you haven't already, follow the initial steps of the Getting Started guide:

  1. Install Meltano
  2. Create your Meltano project

Installation and configuration

  1. Add the datahub utility to your project using
    meltano add
    :
  2. meltano add utility datahub
  3. Configure the datahub settings using
    meltano config
    :
  4. meltano config datahub set --interactive

Next steps

  1. Add a source and sink

Add additional metadata sources

You should override the pip url in your meltano config to include each of the plugins you want to use with the ingestion framework

  1. Find the datahub plugin definition in your meltano.yml project file

  2. Update the pip_url property to include the desired extras (plugins):

    utilities:
    - name: datahub
      variant: datahub-project
      pip_url: acryl-datahub[rest,mongodb,metabase,bigquery,bigquery-usage,dbt]
    
  3. Re-install the plugin:

    meltano install utility datahub
    

The next time you run datahub cli, you will be able to ingest metadata with the appropriate source definition as seen here.

This plugin ships with a dbt ingestion recipe via its file-bundle.

GMS Host (gms_host)

  • Environment variable: DATAHUB_GMS_HOST

URL of DataHub GMS endpoint. Typically this is something like your-server:8000 where your-server is the server IP or domain name. If using metadata service authentication enabled in the image env (recommended), then this should instead point to your frontend which acts as a proxy for the GMS service. datahub.yourdomain.com/api/gms


Configure this setting directly using the following Meltano command:

meltano config datahub set gms_host [value]

GMS Token (gms_token)

  • Environment variable: DATAHUB_GMS_TOKEN

Bearer token used for authentication. AKA Personal Access Token. Not needed if contacting GMS service directly.


Configure this setting directly using the following Meltano command:

meltano config datahub set gms_token [value]

meltano invoke
