A stub to allow clients to do limited synchronous rpc calls to service Lineage.
Lineage is used to track data flows between assets over time. You can
create LineageEvents
to record lineage between multiple sources and a single target, for
example, when table data is based on data from multiple tables.
Retrieve information about LineageProcesses associated with specific
links. LineageProcesses are transformation pipelines that result in data
flowing from source to target assets. Links between assets
represent this operation.
If you have specific link names, you can use this method to
verify which LineageProcesses contribute to creating those links.
See the
SearchLinks
method for more information on how to retrieve link name.
You can retrieve the LineageProcess information in every project where you
have the datalineage.events.get permission. The project provided in the
URL is used for Billing and Quota.
Retrieves a streaming response of lineage links connected to the requested
assets by performing a breadth-first search in the given direction. Links
represent the data flow between source (upstream) and target
(downstream) assets in transformation pipelines. Links are stored in the
same project as the Lineage Events that create them. This method retrieves
links from all valid locations provided in the request. This method
supports Column-Level Lineage (CLL) along with wildcard support to retrieve
all CLL for an Entity FQN.
Following permissions are required to retrieve links:
datalineage.events.get permission for the project where the link is
stored for entity-level lineage.
datalineage.events.getFields permission for the project where the link
is stored for column-level lineage.
This method also returns processes that created the links if explicitly
requested by setting
max_process_per_link
is non-zero and full process details are requested via
links.processes.process in the
FieldMask.
Permission required to retrieve processes:
datalineage.processes.get permission for the project where the process
is stored.
Retrieve a list of links connected to a specific asset.
Links represent the data flow between source (upstream)
and target (downstream) assets in transformation pipelines.
Links are stored in the same project as the Lineage Events that create
them.
You can retrieve links in every project where you have the
datalineage.events.get permission. The project provided in the URL
is used for Billing and Quota.
