Metadata File

For context on getting started with ingestion, check out our metadata ingestion guide.

Setup

Works with acryl-datahub out of the box.

Capabilities

Outputs metadata to a file. This can be used to decouple metadata sourcing from the process of pushing it into DataHub, and is particularly useful for debugging purposes. Note that the file source can read files generated by this sink.

Quickstart recipe

Check out the following recipe to get started with ingestion! See below for full configuration options.

For general pointers on writing and running a recipe, see our main recipe guide.
