Hi team, could someone help me clarify a confusion I had about UI-ingestion? when defining UI ingestion recipes, I’m using the default sink, which is the REST endpoint, that makes me think metadata get ingested via REST endpoint. However, I know the UI-ingestion is backup by Datahub Actions, and I have an executor running within the Action pod. The event source is Kafka, which is the only supported event source at this moment. I’m confused about the path of metadata get ingested to GMS, is it via REST endpoint or via Kafka in UI-ingestion?

Hi @green-football-43791, yes, I would like to learn more about what happened when a UI-ingestion is triggered manually or on schedule, I think this piece of info is missing in datahub docs.
my current understanding is when UI ingestion is triggered, frontend will send messages to
MetadataChangeLog_v1
, the ingestion-executor pipeline subscribe to that topic, once it receives the message, it start processing the ingestion recipe and then start ingestion accordingly, is my understanding correct?
