Ashutosh Mestry closed ATLAS-1734. ---------------------------------- > Import API: Add Support to Update Attributes of Existing Types During Import > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ATLAS-1734 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-1734 > Project: Atlas > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: atlas-core > Affects Versions: trunk, 0.8-incubating > Reporter: Ashutosh Mestry > Assignee: Ashutosh Mestry > Labels: patch > Fix For: trunk > > Attachments: > ATLAS-1734-Import-with-additional-attribute-processi.patch > > > *Background* > Existing version of Import API allows for importing types that are not > already present in the system being imported in. This causes import to fail > in the cases where the data being imported happens to have the additional > attribute. > *Solution* > During import, existing types are checked to determine if the types being > imported have additional attributes. If additional attributes exist, then the > existing type is updated with the new attributes. The import then proceeds. > *Impact Assessment* > - Import API: > -- Type import: Additional capability (mentioned above). > -- Entity creation and processing: No impact. > - Export API: No impact. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
