Hello, newbie question: think I read somewhere that the hierarchy / organization of datasets could be configured in DataHub, but I can't find how/where that could be configured or updated? Could that be done through MCE ingestion?

Hi Ming. How were you hoping to configure it?
c
not quite sure yet, but hoping to be flexible, like be grouped / organized in multiple ways, by teams or business domains, or by projects, etc. but maybe those could be achieved by some other DataHub concepts? Anyway interested in learning how datasets could be grouped or organized.

I believe this is determined by the fabric type enum
So you probably need to fork datahub and change this enum to get your custom values 😕
Good reason for us to stay away from enums in the future 🙂

Thanks for the info. will read. one quick question: does fabric type just represent different stages/environments of LinkedIn infrastructures?
m
yeah, this is a lot of internal LI terminology.

@curved-magazine-23582 Is your question for browsing hierarchy? If that’s the case, you can customize it by providing your own logic building browse paths. Check here: https://github.com/linkedin/datahub/blob/5d083143db46eaf4a52eab2461389f75b4e9c356/[…]/com/linkedin/metadata/builders/search/DatasetIndexBuilder.java The underlying support for browse is via browse path field in the entity’s search index.

ah, good info, will dig into that as well. Thanks!
