Question: If some metadata already exists in Datahub and we try to ingest exactly the same metadata, ideally GMS should ignore the new version when we use the
EntityClient
to ingest again right?
e
Yes!
Versioning happens on an aspect level not entity level though. So if a certain aspect that you ingested is the same as the latest version of it, it will get ignored.

but looks like when we do it, the GMS doesnt ignore the same aspects for us
we run ingestion every 12 hours. Looks like every time GMS creates a new version.
When you guys have time, can we hop on a call to help us figure out how to trigger the aspect checker?
Thanks

Usually this happens when custom properties field has a timestamp in it.
Its a holiday for us today and tomorrow. We can hop on a call on Monday!

@early-lamp-41924 thanks for the hint. Let me do some exp myself to change the design on timestamp. I think we can hop on a call later if the time stamp doesnt fix it. Thanks!
