View entity data lineage and impact

  1. Data lineage and impact is displayed when you select an entity. In the following example, we ran a Type search for Table, selected the "sales_fact" entity, and then clicked the Lineage tab. Data lineage and impact is displayed graphically, with each icon representing an action. You can use the zoom buttons to zoom in and out, and you can also click and drag to move the image.
  2. Moving the cursor over an icon displays a pop-up with more information about the action that was performed. Double-clicking an icon takes you to that entity's Lineage tab.
  3. The icons displayed reflect the applicable entity type. In the following example, we ran a Type search for hive_table, selected the "part_col_privs" entity, and then clicked the Lineage tab. Here we can see icons for HDFS path, Hive process, and Hive table.
