DataHub Roadmap

The DataHub Roadmap has a new home!​

Please refer to the new DataHub Roadmap for the most up-to-date details of what we are working on!

If you have suggestions about what we should consider in future cycles, feel free to submit a feature request and/or upvote existing feature requests so we can get a sense of level of importance!

Historical Roadmap​

This following represents the progress made on historical roadmap items as of January 2022. For incomplete roadmap items, we have created Feature Requests to gauge current community interest & impact to be considered in future cycles. If you see something that is still of high-interest to you, please up-vote via the Feature Request portal link and subscribe to the post for updates as we progress through the work in future cycles.

Q4 2021 [Oct - Dec 2021]​

Data Lake Ecosystem Integration​

Metadata Trigger Framework​

  • Stateful sensors for Airflow
  • Receive events for you to send alerts, email
  • Slack integration

ML Ecosystem​

Metrics Ecosystem​

View in Feature Request Portal

  • Measures, Dimensions
  • Relationships to Datasets and Dashboards

Data Mesh oriented features​

Q3 2021 [Jul - Sept 2021]​

Data Profiling and Dataset Previews​

Use Case: See sample data for a dataset and statistics on the shape of the data (column distribution, nullability etc.)

  • Support for data profiling and preview extraction through ingestion pipeline (column samples, not rows)

Data Quality​

Included in Q1 2022 Roadmap - Display Data Quality Checks in the UI

  • Support for data profiling and time-series views
  • Support for data quality visualization
  • Support for data health score based on data quality results and pipeline observability
  • Integration with systems like Great Expectations, AWS deequ, dbt test etc.

Fine-grained Access Control for Metadata​

  • Support for role-based access control to edit metadata
  • Scope: Access control on entity-level, aspect-level and within aspects as well.

Column-level lineage​

Included in Q1 2022 Roadmap - Column Level Lineage

  • Metadata Model
  • SQL Parsing

Operational Metadata​

Q2 2021 (Apr - Jun 2021)​

Cloud Deployment​

  • Production-grade Helm charts for Kubernetes-based deployment
  • How-to guides for deploying DataHub to all the major cloud providers
    • AWS
    • Azure
    • GCP

Product Analytics for DataHub​

  • Helping you understand how your users are interacting with DataHub
  • Integration with common systems like Google Analytics etc.

Usage-Based Insights​

  • Display frequently used datasets, etc.
  • Improved search relevance through usage data

Role-based Access Control​

  • Support for fine-grained access control for metadata operations (read, write, modify)
  • Scope: Access control on entity-level, aspect-level and within aspects as well.
  • This provides the foundation for Tag Governance, Dataset Preview access control etc.

No-code Metadata Model Additions​

Use Case: Developers should be able to add new entities and aspects to the metadata model easily

  • No need to write any code (in Java or Python) to store, retrieve, search and query metadata
  • No need to write any code (in GraphQL or UI) to visualize metadata

Q1 2021 [Jan - Mar 2021]​

React UI​

  • Build a new UI based on React
  • Deprecate open-source support for Ember UI

Python-based Metadata Integration​

  • Build a Python-based Ingestion Framework
  • Support common people repositories (LDAP)
  • Support common data repositories (Kafka, SQL databases, AWS Glue, Hive)
  • Support common transformation sources (dbt, Looker)
  • Support for push-based metadata emission from Python (e.g. Airflow DAGs)

Dashboards and Charts​

  • Support for dashboard and chart entity page
  • Support browse, search and discovery

SSO for Authentication​

  • Support for Authentication (login) using OIDC providers (Okta, Google etc)

Tags​

Use-Case: Support for free-form global tags for social collaboration and aiding discovery

  • Edit / Create new tags
  • Attach tags to relevant constructs (e.g. datasets, dashboards, users, schema_fields)
  • Search using tags (e.g. find all datasets with this tag, find all entities with this tag)

Business Glossary​

  • Support for business glossary model (definition + storage)
  • Browse taxonomy
  • UI support for attaching business terms to entities and fields

Jobs, Flows / Pipelines​

Use case: Search and Discover your Pipelines (e.g. Airflow DAGs) and understand data lineage with datasets

  • Support for Metadata Models + Backend Implementation
  • Metadata Integrations with systems like Airflow.

Data Profiling and Dataset Previews​

Use Case: See sample data for a dataset and statistics on the shape of the data (column distribution, nullability etc.)

  • Support for data profiling and preview extraction through ingestion pipeline
  • Out of scope for Q1: Access control of data profiles and sample data
