ATLAS-3321: Introduce atlas metadata namespace
> Introduce atlas metadata namespace
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: ATLAS-3321
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-3321
> Project: Atlas
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: atlas-core
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Sarath Subramanian
> Assignee: Sarath Subramanian
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.1.0
>
>
> Atlas has the notion of *clusterName* which is used as a global namespace in
> which you can define the context in which entity instances are defined and
> grouped. A cluster name defines a scope of operation in atlas and is
> specified in parent entity types - _hive_db (Hive), hbase_namespace (HBase),
> fs_path (File System), storm_topology (Storm), spark_db (Spark)_
> cluster name is also used to construct _qualifiedName_ attribute in atlas -
> * hive_db - db_name@cluster_name
> * hive_table - db_name.table_name@cluster_name
> * hive_column - db_name.table_name.column_name@cluster_name
> Cluster name works for simple environments wherein we have a single cluster
> and single service instances running (single Hive or HBase service). In
> complex deployments - a single cluster may host multiple instances of the
> same service (two Hive services - Hive-1 and Hive-2), for such cases cluster
> name doesn't help to provide context to individual service instances and
> metadata groupings.
> So we introduce - *"metadata namespace"* where a single cluster can contain
> multiple metadata namespaces. The qualified name for atlas will be generated
> using metadata namespace name instead of cluster name.
> For each hook enabled we specify the property - *"atlas.metadata.namespace"*
> which defines the scope/context of the metadata.
