DataHub CLI

DataHub comes with a friendly cli called datahub that allows you to perform a lot of common operations using just the command line. Acryl Data maintains the pypi package for datahub.

Installation

Using pip

We recommend Python virtual environments (venv-s) to namespace pip modules. Here's an example setup:

python3 -m venv venv             # create the environment
source venv/bin/activate         # activate the environment

NOTE: If you install datahub in a virtual environment, that same virtual environment must be re-activated each time a shell window or session is created.

Once inside the virtual environment, install datahub using the following commands

# Requires Python 3.7+
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools
python3 -m pip install --upgrade acryl-datahub
# validate that the install was successful
datahub version
# If you see "command not found", try running this instead: python3 -m datahub version

If you run into an error, try checking the common setup issues.

Other installation options such as installation from source and running the cli inside a container are available further below in the guide here

User Guide

The datahub cli allows you to do many things, such as quickstarting a DataHub docker instance locally, ingesting metadata from your sources into a DataHub server or a DataHub lite instance, as well as retrieving, modifying and exploring metadata. Like most command line tools, --help is your best friend. Use it to discover the capabilities of the cli and the different commands and sub-commands that are supported.

Usage: datahub [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

Options:
  --debug / --no-debug
  --version             Show the version and exit.
  --help                Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  check      Helper commands for checking various aspects of DataHub.
  delete     Delete metadata from datahub using a single urn or a combination of filters
  docker     Helper commands for setting up and interacting with a local DataHub instance using Docker.
  get        Get metadata for an entity with an optional list of aspects to project.
  ingest     Ingest metadata into DataHub.
  init       Configure which datahub instance to connect to
  put        Update a single aspect of an entity
  telemetry  Toggle telemetry.
  version    Print version number and exit.

The following top-level commands listed below are here mainly to give the reader a high-level picture of what are the kinds of things you can accomplish with the cli. We've ordered them roughly in the order we expect you to interact with these commands as you get deeper into the datahub-verse.

docker

The docker command allows you to start up a local DataHub instance using datahub docker quickstart. You can also check if the docker cluster is healthy using datahub docker check.

ingest

The ingest command allows you to ingest metadata from your sources using ingestion configuration files, which we call recipes. Source specific crawlers are provided by plugins and might sometimes need additional extras to be installed. See installing plugins for more information. Removing Metadata from DataHub contains detailed instructions about how you can use the ingest command to perform operations like rolling-back previously ingested metadata through the rollback sub-command and listing all runs that happened through list-runs sub-command.

Usage: datahub [datahub-options] ingest [command-options]

Command Options:
  -c / --config        Config file in .toml or .yaml format
  -n / --dry-run       Perform a dry run of the ingestion, essentially skipping writing to sink
  --preview            Perform limited ingestion from the source to the sink to get a quick preview
  --preview-workunits  The number of workunits to produce for preview
  --strict-warnings    If enabled, ingestion runs with warnings will yield a non-zero error code

init

The init command is used to tell datahub about where your DataHub instance is located. The CLI will point to localhost DataHub by default. Running datahub init will allow you to customize the datahub instance you are communicating with.

Note: Provide your GMS instance's host when the prompt asks you for the DataHub host.

Environment variables supported

The environment variables listed below take precedence over the DataHub CLI config created through the init command.

DATAHUB_SKIP_CONFIG (default false) - Set to true to skip creating the configuration file.
DATAHUB_GMS_URL (default http://localhost:8080) - Set to a URL of GMS instance
DATAHUB_GMS_HOST (default localhost) - Set to a host of GMS instance. Prefer using DATAHUB_GMS_URL to set the URL.
DATAHUB_GMS_PORT (default 8080) - Set to a port of GMS instance. Prefer using DATAHUB_GMS_URL to set the URL.
DATAHUB_GMS_PROTOCOL (default http) - Set to a protocol like http or https. Prefer using DATAHUB_GMS_URL to set the URL.
DATAHUB_GMS_TOKEN (default None) - Used for communicating with DataHub Cloud.
DATAHUB_TELEMETRY_ENABLED (default true) - Set to false to disable telemetry. If CLI is being run in an environment with no access to public internet then this should be disabled.
DATAHUB_TELEMETRY_TIMEOUT (default 10) - Set to a custom integer value to specify timeout in secs when sending telemetry.
DATAHUB_DEBUG (default false) - Set to true to enable debug logging for CLI. Can also be achieved through --debug option of the CLI.
DATAHUB_VERSION (default head) - Set to a specific version to run quickstart with the particular version of docker images.
ACTIONS_VERSION (default head) - Set to a specific version to run quickstart with that image tag of datahub-actions container.

DATAHUB_SKIP_CONFIG=false
DATAHUB_GMS_URL=http://localhost:8080
DATAHUB_GMS_TOKEN=
DATAHUB_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=true
DATAHUB_TELEMETRY_TIMEOUT=10
DATAHUB_DEBUG=false

check

The datahub package is composed of different plugins that allow you to connect to different metadata sources and ingest metadata from them. The check command allows you to check if all plugins are loaded correctly as well as validate an individual MCE-file.

lite (experimental)

The lite group of commands allow you to run an embedded, lightweight DataHub instance for command line exploration of your metadata. This is intended more for developer tool oriented usage rather than as a production server instance for DataHub. See DataHub Lite for more information about how you can ingest metadata into DataHub Lite and explore your metadata easily.

delete

The delete command allows you to delete metadata from DataHub. Read this guide to understand how you can delete metadata from DataHub.

info

Deleting metadata using DataHub's CLI and GraphQL API is a simple, systems-level action. If you attempt to delete an Entity with children, such as a Container, it will not automatically delete the children, you will instead need to delete each child by URN in addition to deleting the parent.

datahub delete --urn "urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,SampleHiveDataset,PROD)" --soft

get

The get command allows you to easily retrieve metadata from DataHub, by using the REST API. This works for both versioned aspects and timeseries aspects. For timeseries aspects, it fetches the latest value. For example the following command gets the ownership aspect from the dataset urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,SampleHiveDataset,PROD)

$ datahub get --urn "urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,SampleHiveDataset,PROD)" --aspect ownership
{
  "value": {
    "com.linkedin.metadata.snapshot.DatasetSnapshot": {
      "aspects": [
        {
          "com.linkedin.metadata.key.DatasetKey": {
            "name": "SampleHiveDataset",
            "origin": "PROD",
            "platform": "urn:li:dataPlatform:hive"
          }
        },
        {
          "com.linkedin.common.Ownership": {
            "lastModified": {
              "actor": "urn:li:corpuser:jdoe",
              "time": 1581407189000
            },
            "owners": [
              {
                "owner": "urn:li:corpuser:jdoe",
                "type": "DATAOWNER"
              },
              {
                "owner": "urn:li:corpuser:datahub",
                "type": "DATAOWNER"
              }
            ]
          }
        }
      ],
      "urn": "urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,SampleHiveDataset,PROD)"
    }
  }
}

put

The put group of commands allows you to write metadata into DataHub. This is a flexible way for you to issue edits to metadata from the command line.

put aspect

The put aspect (also the default put) command instructs datahub to set a specific aspect for an entity to a specified value. For example, the command shown below sets the ownership aspect of the dataset urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,SampleHiveDataset,PROD) to the value in the file ownership.json. The JSON in the ownership.json file needs to conform to the Ownership Aspect model as shown below.

{
  "owners": [
    {
      "owner": "urn:li:corpuser:jdoe",
      "type": "DEVELOPER"
    },
    {
      "owner": "urn:li:corpuser:jdub",
      "type": "DATAOWNER"
    }
  ]
}

datahub --debug put --urn "urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,SampleHiveDataset,PROD)" --aspect ownership -d ownership.json

Update succeeded with status 200

put platform

The put platform command (available in version>0.8.44.4) instructs datahub to create or update metadata about a data platform. This is very useful if you are using a custom data platform, to set up its logo and display name for a native UI experience.

datahub put platform --name longtail_schemas --display_name "Long Tail Schemas" --logo "https://flink.apache.org/img/logo/png/50/color_50.png"
✅ Successfully wrote data platform metadata for urn:li:dataPlatform:longtail_schemas to DataHub (DataHubRestEmitter: configured to talk to https://longtailcompanions.acryl.io/api/gms with token: eyJh**********Cics)

timeline

The timeline command allows you to view a version history for entities. Currently only supported for Datasets. For example, the following command will show you the modifications to tags for a dataset for the past week. The output includes a computed semantic version, relevant for schema changes only currently, the target of the modification, and a description of the change including a timestamp. The default output is sanitized to be more readable, but the full API output can be obtained by passing the --verbose flag and to get the raw JSON difference in addition to the API output you can add the --raw flag. For more details about the feature please see the main feature page

datahub timeline --urn "urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:mysql,User.UserAccount,PROD)" --category TAG --start 7daysago

telemetry

To help us understand how people are using DataHub, we collect anonymous usage statistics on actions such as command invocations via Mixpanel. We do not collect private information such as IP addresses, contents of ingestions, or credentials. The code responsible for collecting and broadcasting these events is open-source and can be found within our GitHub.

Telemetry is enabled by default, and the telemetry command lets you toggle the sending of these statistics via telemetry enable/disable.

migrate

The migrate group of commands allows you to perform certain kinds of migrations.

dataplatform2instance

The dataplatform2instance migration command allows you to migrate your entities from an instance-agnostic platform identifier to an instance-specific platform identifier. If you have ingested metadata in the past for this platform and would like to transfer any important metadata over to the new instance-specific entities, then you should use this command. For example, if your users have added documentation or added tags or terms to your datasets, then you should run this command to transfer this metadata over to the new entities. For further context, read the Platform Instance Guide here.

A few important options worth calling out:

--dry-run / -n : Use this to get a report for what will be migrated before running
--force / -F : Use this if you know what you are doing and do not want to get a confirmation prompt before migration is started
--keep : When enabled, will preserve the old entities and not delete them. Default behavior is to soft-delete old entities.
--hard : When enabled, will hard-delete the old entities.

Note: Timeseries aspects such as Usage Statistics and Dataset Profiles are not migrated over to the new entity instances, you will get new data points created when you re-run ingestion using the usage or sources with profiling turned on.

Alternate Installation Options

Using docker

If you don't want to install locally, you can alternatively run metadata ingestion within a Docker container. We have prebuilt images available on Docker hub. All plugins will be installed and enabled automatically.

You can use the datahub-ingestion docker image as explained in Docker Images. In case you are using Kubernetes you can start a pod with the datahub-ingestion docker image, log onto a shell on the pod and you should have the access to datahub CLI in your kubernetes cluster.

Limitation: the datahub_docker.sh convenience script assumes that the recipe and any input/output files are accessible in the current working directory or its subdirectories. Files outside the current working directory will not be found, and you'll need to invoke the Docker image directly.

# Assumes the DataHub repo is cloned locally.
./metadata-ingestion/scripts/datahub_docker.sh ingest -c ./examples/recipes/example_to_datahub_rest.yml

Release Notes and CLI versions

The server release notes can be found in github releases. These releases are done approximately every week on a regular cadence unless a blocking issue or regression is discovered.

CLI release is made through a different repository and release notes can be found in acryldata releases. At least one release which is tied to the server release is always made alongwith the server release. Multiple other bigfix releases are made in between based on amount of fixes that are merged between the server release mentioned above.

If server with version 0.8.28 is being used then CLI used to connect to it should be 0.8.28.x. Tests of new CLI are not ran with older server versions so it is not recommended to update the CLI if the server is not updated.
