Search overview

On the Cloudera Data Catalog Search page, and enter a search string in the search box to view all the assets with details that contain the search string.

When you enter the search terms in Search, you are looking up names, types, descriptions, and other metadata collected by Cloudera Data Catalog. The search index includes metadata (not data) about your environment and cluster data assets and operations. You can make the search more powerful by associating your own information (business metadata) to the stored assets.

Accessing data lakes

Users have access to the lakes based on the permissions that are granted. You can choose the available lake by selecting the appropriate radio button.

Using search filters

Use the search filter to fine-tune your results. You can specify further filters for the give categories (Type, Owners, Entity Tag, Glossary Terms) in by starting to type the filter name.

Downloading search results as CSV files

You can also download the search result for the current query with the selected data lake. The feature allows you to download up to 10000 rows for the current search query.

The CSV file format does not conform to any specific order or continuation in the downloaded results. For example, a user can download 10000 assets and later downloads the results for the same query again, then the downloaded CSV files may not contain the search results in the same order as it was downloaded previously.
