Metadata Audit Event Consumer Job
The Metadata Audit Event Consumer is a Spring job which can be deployed by itself, or as part of the Metadata Service.
Its main function is to listen to change log events emitted as a result of changes made to the Metadata Graph, converting changes in the metadata model into updates against secondary search & graph indexes (among other things)
Today the job consumes from two important Kafka topics:
MetadataChangeLog_Versioned_v1
MetadataChangeLog_Timeseries_v1
Where does the name Metadata Audit Event come from? Well, history. Previously, this job consumed a single
MetadataAuditEvent
topic which has been deprecated and removed from the critical path. Hence, the name!
