Request for Manta Data Export Format Alignment with Alation's Native Lineage Expectations

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We need confirmation on how Manta exports lineage data to Alation to ensure it matches Alation's native lineage structure. Specifically, we are requesting details on:


1. Data Format: The exact format in which Manta sends data to Alation.


2. Lineage Consistency: Ensuring the data structure aligns with Alation's native lineage-building approach.


3. Loop Prevention: Verification that the exported lineage does not create loops in data flow objects if source or target is not available.

    Hi Amar,

    can we please keep this Idea for the loop prevention topic?

    For that, we discussed that Manta can

    • stop exporting lineage that causes the loops

    • export it in a way that it creates a tmp object instead of a loop

    Based on our last meeting, both options work for you. I'm currently verifying the approach with other customers and will update you once we have a final proposal on the approach.

    Thank you,
    Jakub
