DataHub Community Update
October 2021 Edition
Hello, DataHub Enthusiasts!
The DataHub Community continues to be abuzz with activity, and the month of October was no exception. Want to see what has happened in prior months? Head over to the Project Updates section to check them out.
Let’s get you up to speed on all-things-DataHub!
Community & Project Updates
New Ways to Collaborate in DataHub Slack
We rolled out some new channels dedicated to collaboration in the DataHub Slack, including:
- #office-hours: we now host open office hours every Tuesday at 9 am US PT — join the channel for reminders & Zoom details!
- #contribute: looking for ways to contribute back to the DataHub Community? Post your ideas here!
- #show-and-tell: are you excited about something you/your team has done with DataHub? Tell us all about it, and consider me your personal hype woman — I love celebrating y’all’s successes, especially when they have to do with :teamwork: 😎
We also announced that we are using the Hey Taco! Slack app to show gratitude to one another. Whenever you’d like to show appreciation to someone that went above and beyond for you in the DataHub Community, give them a 🌮! Just mention their user name, write your message, and add the :taco: emoji.
- Is it silly to send virtual tacos to say thanks? Yes! We love silly. And tacos.
- Will we be rolling out a program to redeem 🌮s for limited edition DataHub Swag? Also Yes! We love swag. And tacos.
- Will the rewards store have a ✨limited edition DataHub fanny pack ✨? Can neither confirm nor deny 🤐😬
Q4 Roadmap Updates
Here’s what the Core DataHub team is working on in Q4 2021:
- Updates to DataHub metadata model — we are targeting schema history, column-level lineage, and data quality (specifically Great Expectations in the first pass)
- Support for multiple data platform instances — we’ll be making it easier for you to uniquely identify datasets across the multiple instances
- Improved support for dbt — we will be fully leveraging the catalog & manifest JSON files in dbt projects and improving how we organize these entities in the lineage graph
- Handling stale metadata — when data is deleted in the source environment, we will support removing/soft-deleting them in DataHub
- Integrations with DeltaLake & Spark — woohoo!
