Anshu,

 

There is no visualization of the changes to an entity attributes across 
multiple versions; though such visualization can be developed from the entity 
states stored in audit logs.

 

There is a version number associated with each entity; but currently it is not 
incremented automatically during entity update. It is left to the API caller to 
set appropriate version number. I think it could be useful to increment entity 
version automatically (similar to how AtlasEntity.updateTime is updated). If 
this is critical for your usecase, can you please file a JIRA?

 

Hope this helps.

 

Madhan

Subject: Lineage for updation in Process or any vertex

 

Hi, 

 

Is there any inbuilt feature in Atlas to track the changes in the process or 
any other custom vertex. Say in some use case there is some entity with some X1 
description and now after some time we need to update the description to X2. is 
there any default way to keep track of the version and lineage. I can see the 
audit trail in UI but no lineage graph for it. 

 

The above use case can be more complex if we include other types of vertices 
and their lineage and impact on others. This lineage is different from the 
process and dataset lineage already exposed by the framework. 
 

Is there any version number associated with every vertex that increments on 
every update of the same GUID?
