Metadata Versioning

  • OpenMetadata maintains the version history for all entities in the Major.Minor number, starting with 0.1 as the initial version of an entity.
  • Entity views in OpenMetadata provide a timeline visualization of all the metadata changes from version to version.
  • Metadata versioning helps simplify the debugging process. Users can view the changes and instantly identify if a recent change led to the data issue.

Events API

  • When the state of metadata changes, an event is produced that indicates which entity changed, who changed it, and how it changed
  • These events can be used to integrate metadata into other tools, or to trigger actions.

One-Click Ingestion deployment

  • UI integration with Apache Airflow as a workflow engine to run ingestion, data profiling

New Entities: ML Models and Data Models

  • Two new data assets have been added - ML Models and Data Models.
  • ML Models are algorithms trained on data to find patterns or to make predictions. Data Modeling tools such as dbt are getting adopted by many organizations.

New Connectors

  • AWS Glue
  • DBT
  • Maria DB

User Interface

  • In 0.6 release, the UI integration displays all the metadata changes of an entity over time as Version History. By clicking on the Version button, users can view the change log of an entity from the very beginning. The earliest version relates to the metadata pulled from third party systems using ingestion bots. The changes made by users or data engineers are displayed along with a timestamp. The changes in the database by automation are captured by the ingestion bot. Thereby providing a single pane view of the metadata’s evolution over time.
  • The UI supports setting up metadata ingestion workflows.
  • Improvements have been made in drawing the entity node details for lineage.
  • Entity link is supported for each tab on the details page.
  • Guided steps have been added for setting up ElasticSearch.
  • The entity details, search results page (Explore), landing pages, and components have been redesigned for better project structure and code maintenance.
