Metadata loaders

The loaders provide examples to ingest metadata into Atlan, each in an idempotent manner:

  • EnrichmentLoader updates (or creates, if it does not exist) metadata about all assets, as extracted by the EnrichmentReporter.
  • DocumentationTemplateLoader creates (or updates, if it already exists) metadata about tabular assets (databases, schemas, tables, columns), object store assets (accounts, buckets, objects), and the lineage between them.
  • OpenAPISpecLoader updates (or creates, if it does not exist) metadata about API assets — specs and paths — from an OpenAPI JSON specification. (Unlike the other loaders, this does not use a spreadsheet but the OpenAPI JSON specification directly.)
