Cloudera Octopai Universal Connector overview
The Cloudera Octopai Universal Connector lets you load metadata from systems that are not covered by out-of-the-box connectors so that the Data Intelligence Platform can show lineage, discovery, and catalog coverage across your full data landscape in conjunction with the rest of the tools in your landscape.
As data demands evolve, data teams need a clearer picture of the data ecosystem. Cloudera Octopai continues to expand out-of-the-box coverage, yet many organizations still rely on custom processes, niche databases, or reporting layers that need the same visibility as first-class integrations.
The Cloudera Octopai Universal Connector fills those gaps. You supply metadata in structured CSV templates, while ingestion and analysis on the platform side are automated so you can connect lineage across systems that would otherwise stay invisible and cause lineage to break.
How it is done
Use the Cloudera Octopai CSV templates below. After you upload completed templates, processing on the platform is automated.
What Cloudera Octopai offers
This metadata, together with metadata from out-of-the-box supported systems, is analyzed using machine learning. Cloudera Octopai can then show end-to-end column-level lineage, inner-system lineage, cross-system lineage, data discovery, and a data catalog of your full data landscape for users across the organization.
The benefits
- No blind spots – perform changes with confidence.
- Get a clear picture of data transformations.
- Increase visibility of the organization's complete data ecosystem.
- Future-proof your expanding data landscape by providing access to unlimited data systems.
- Add links to our out-of-the-box technologies.
