Hi everyone. We are currently evaluating datahub in our company and I wonder if there is already support or planned support for JSON Schema ingestion? I've seen you support inferring schema information from JSON files, but we already have our schemas defined.

Are these standalone schemas or attached to a dataset in a datastore (like mongodb)?
r
I'd say they are standalone schemas or at least agnostic to any data store technology. They are, for instance, used for validating messages on SNS/SQS or stored JSON data on S3.
m
We definitely want to support standalone JSON schemas (similar to how we have support for protobuf schema repos).
Would a solution similar to the protobuf integration we have built work in your case?
r
Yes, I think so. As far as I understood it, you also support ingesting "vanilla" Protobuf schemas, so the datahub meta information is optional? That would work for us in the case of JSON schema files. Have you already started working on such a feature and if not, what's the anticipated timeline?

yup that's right, should definitely be done by Q4 this year.
So in the next 3 mo
