New Capability for the Knowledge Hub: Mass Deletion of Asset Property Values through Admin Console
Cloudera Octopai Data Lineage now allows administrators to perform mass deletion of existing asset property values directly through the Mass Update activity in the Admin Console. This enhancement enables large-scale cleanup or reset of metadata across multiple assets in one action.
Administrators can now include empty fields in the update file to intentionally clear previously populated values for editable asset properties.
What to do
- If you choose to ignore, the system skips empty fields and retains existing values.
- If you do not ignore, any empty field in the update file overwrites the corresponding existing value and deletes it permanently.
Enhanced Snowflake Connector: Now Supports Key Pair Authentication
Cloudera Octopai has upgraded its Snowflake connector to support key pair authentication, providing a more secure and scalable alternative to password-based access that is especially crucial as Snowflake phases out older authentication methods.
Authentication options
You now have two ways to configure key pair authentication.
Both options allow the service account to authenticate securely during metadata extraction.
- Paste the encrypted private key directly into Cloudera Octopai
Agent’s configuration screen, along with the passphrase to decrypt it.

- Provide a file path pointing to the encrypted private key, and supply its passphrase.

Why this matters: password-based access sunset
Snowflake is deprecating single-factor password authentication in the following phases:
- By November 2025, password-only sign-ins—including service and human users—will be blocked dataart.com+11snowflake.com+11docs.snowflake.com+11 community.fabric.microsoft.com+1docs.thoughtspot.com+1.
- Programmatic access using password-based legacy service accounts will also be disallowed, with enforcement extending into March 2026 docs.snowflake.com+1snowflake.com+1.
Next steps
- Configure key pair authentication in Cloudera Octopai using one of the supported methods.
- Ensure the Snowflake service account uses a public key and is designated as a SERVICE user (not LEGACY_SERVICE).
- Plan migration away from password-based accounts before March 2026.
For detailed steps, refer to the Snowflake Key Pair Authentication Guide.
