DataHub

Hi team, In looker we use labeling for the explores. Does looker ingestion get the label information ? I couldn't find a place that mentions about it ? It is important for us because the end users see the label information not the technical information when he/she opens the looker object. Thanks.

Hey there- looks like Datahub does ingest label by looking at the code: <https://github.com/linkedin/datahub/blob/master/metadata-ingestion/src/datahub/ingestion/source/looker_common.py#L671>

give it a whirl and see if it works as expected!

Hi Gabe, I think it is not used in UI or elasticsearch. In Looker we see the label in the UI but datahub only shows the technical definition. When you search it doesn't find the explore also.

Maybe we’re not fetching all labels. Would this be something you’d be interested in contributing? I’d be happy to pair with you on it.

Hi Gabe, let me read the code and I'll get back to you. Thank you.
