Apache Jira: ATLAS-4863

CDPD-75994: Post DL regular upgrade (non ZDU) to 7.3.1, "Exception in getKafkaConsumer ,WakeupException: null" is seen
After the data lake is upgraded to 7.3.1, sometimes Atlas Hook does not function when Apache Atlas and Apache Kafka are started at the same time, thus Atlas is unable to connect to Kafka while Kafka is still being set up. Atlas performs only three attempts.

Restart the cluster, after the upgrade to trigger to reconnect to Apache Kafka. The Kafka consumer creation should be retried if the Kafka service is unavailable during Atlas startup.

CDPD-76035: Resource lookup for Atlas service is failing
Once the Atlas configuration snippet atlas.authentication.method.file is enabled and a classification is created, these do not synchronize correctly to the Type Category resource field setting of Apache Ranger. The newly created classification won't be able to be selected as the Type Name.

If there is a shell entity which has lineage, while using the Export API, that shell entity will not be exported in the zip file.

When the Apache Atlas server is running on a node which has time zone other than UTC, there might be a time of day when the search results might differ if the relative CreateTime date range filters of TODAY, YESTERDAY, etc. are used.
Use explicit date range filters instead of using relative date range filters, such as, TODAY, YESTERDAY.
CDPD-70321: Atlas Parallel import is failing with various errors
During a parallel import-export activity with six iceberg table policies with exportOption as db1.* for all six exports, all import fail after the exports.

When performing a rolling upgrade from 7.1.7.3000 to 7.3.1.0, and then downgrading from 7.3.1.0 to 7.1.7.3000, updating edge to enable tag propagation fails.
Tag propagation works well after a restart.
