When the button Lineage is hidden, can Datahub manual add upstream and downstream dataset for a dataset?
s

Can i add manual 😞

manually adding dependencies through UI is not supported. But you can do it programmatically or through the API. e.g. https://github.com/linkedin/datahub/blob/master/metadata-ingestion/examples/library/lineage_emitter_rest.py

you can see https://datahubproject.io/docs/metadata-ingestion to see what is required. Or you can use the metadata-ingestion docker image and add your code on top of it

Hi, i’m very new to datahub. I was able to ingest one of my database into datahub. Kind of interested to learn about creating lineage here but i’m not a python expert. Do you mind to elaborate on above manual steps. Say I want to create lineage from db
table -> table
or
table -> kafka
as up & down stream. Appreciate if you can share curl cmd examples for (api’s) above scenarios.

Sounds like the ability to manually tag lineage would be a useful feature indeed. 🙂 cc. @little-megabyte-1074
