Update Deprecation

Why Would You Update Deprecation?

Deprecation indicates the status of an entity. For datasets, keeping the deprecation status up-to-date is important to inform users and downstream systems of changes to the dataset's availability or reliability. By updating the status, you can prevent issues and ensure users have access to the most reliable data.

Goal Of This Guide

This guide will show you how to update deprecation status of a dataset fct_users_created.

Prerequisites

For this tutorial, you need to deploy DataHub Quickstart and ingest sample data. For detailed steps, please refer to Datahub Quickstart Guide.

note

Before updating deprecation, you need to ensure the targeted dataset is already present in your datahub. If you attempt to manipulate entities that do not exist, your operation will fail. In this guide, we will be using data from a sample ingestion.

Update Deprecation With GraphQL

note

Please note that there are two available endpoints (:8000, :9002) to access GraphQL. For more information about the differences between these endpoints, please refer to DataHub Metadata Service

GraphQL Explorer

GraphQL Explorer is the fastest way to experiment with GraphQL without any dependencies. Navigate to GraphQL Explorer (http://localhost:9002/api/graphiql) and run the following query.

mutation updateDeprecation {
updateDeprecation(input: { urn: "urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,fct_users_created,PROD)", deprecated: true })
}

Also note that you can update deprecation status of multiple entities or subresource using batchUpdateDeprecation.

mutation batchUpdateDeprecation {
batchUpdateDeprecation(
input: {
deprecated: true,
resources: [
{ resourceUrn:"urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hdfs,SampleHdfsDataset,PROD)"} ,
{ resourceUrn:"urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,fct_users_created,PROD)"} ,]
}
)
}

If you see the following response, the operation was successful:

{
"data": {
"updateDeprecation": true
},
"extensions": {}
}

CURL

With CURL, you need to provide tokens. To generate a token, please refer to Access Token Management. With accessToken, you can run the following command.

curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:8080/api/graphql' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <my-access-token>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{ "query": "mutation updateDeprecation { updateDeprecation(input: { deprecated: true, urn: \"urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,fct_users_created,PROD)\" }) }", "variables":{}}'

Expected Response:

{ "data": { "removeTag": true }, "extensions": {} }

Update Deprecation With Python SDK

The following code update deprecation status of a dataset fct_users_created.

Coming Soon!

We're using the MetdataChangeProposalWrapper to change entities in this example. For more information about the MetadataChangeProposal, please refer to MetadataChangeProposal & MetadataChangeLog Events

Expected Outcomes

You can now see the dataset fct_users_created has been marked as Deprecated.
