Provide a utility to find any orphaned nodes in the graph database

Background: Sometimes, due to failed upgrades, workflows interrupted while running, Manta crashes, etc - there will be orphaned nodes in Manta. These cause problems when we try to export lineage from Manta to other tools such as Alation.

 

The following is pseudocode of how to identify these:

 

MATCH path=(a:Asset)<-[:HAS_PARENT*1..]-(child:Asset) WHERE NOT EXISTS {(a)-[:HAS_PARENT|HAS_RESOURCE]->()} UNWIND relationships(path) AS r WITH DISTINCT r RETURN r.revisionEnd, count(r);

 

The ask: provide a method to see this count in Manta. This could be something that support team runs manually from the backend, or a report that user can see in the UI, or a job that Manta runs periodically.

Either way, when the count is non zero, we should contact Manta support because it indicates that there is some cleanup needed.
