Hey team 👋🏻 In the documentation about the ownership types, it says that

Note that this field will soon become deprecated due to low usage

. We are actively using these and would like it to stay, and even maybe extend the current options Datahub presents in the future! Just wanted to get heard and wanted to share we are using these 😄

WIP https://github.com/datahub-project/datahub/pull/7623 custom ownership types

@witty-butcher-82399 What will happen to the existing Owners when we update? Will they stay the same or will we now have to re-ingest them with the Custom Ownership types? **Sorry if this is answered in the PR, I went through it and couldn’t find it

I'm not the author of the PR and not part of the core dev team, just a sporadic contributor... so no idea 😅 You may better ask the author From what I see here https://github.com/datahub-project/datahub/pull/7623/files#diff-e19a7aa18b710c965d7581d027f2d52d4c1fa3b37aac471c8044fb668a760f20 I understand that until fixed ownership types are fully deprecated you may use one or the others. And use the new ones will likely require reingestion (otherwise how the system knows how to map the fixed ownership types with the custom ones?).

@incalculable-ocean-74010 Is this PR belonged to you? Have you had any news on the feature?

Hello, Yes it does. I closed that PR in favour of https://github.com/datahub-project/datahub/pull/8045 (this last one is more feature complete, with frontend & documentation)

Oh what a huge PR and amazing that I asked right before you merge it 😄 Thank you so much !

regarding the other question in this thread

What will happen to the existing Owners when we update? Will they stay the same or will we now have to re-ingest them with the Custom Ownership types?

We will continue to support the pre-existing ownership types (

Technical Owner

,

Business Owner

,

Data Steward

,

None

), we consider these “system ownership types” which get translated to the new custom ownership entity type

NP for me, I feel no other thing than happiness right now 😄

Hey @incalculable-ocean-74010 I have noticed release tag got removed from the PR (https://github.com/datahub-project/datahub/pull/8045) - does this matter it won't be merged any time soon?

Hello Piotr, It means the feature will not be part of the next tagged release v0.10.3, it will instead be merged as soon as the release is cut and will be available for quickstart usages or for folks who wish to use tagged commits. Our reason for this is that the PR is quite substantial and releasing it in a complete release so close to the deadline could lead to less stability than we want. That does not mean the future is buggy but it’s always good to have the community take a sneak peak and asses first.

I expect the

0.10.3

release to be cut either today or tomorrow and the PR merged right after that.
