Summary: [Business Metadata Bulk Import] Incorrect Error "invalid
business attribute name" thrown while trying to assign BM attribute to
non-applicable type
Key: ATLAS-4303
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-4303
Project: Atlas
Issue Type: Bug
Components: atlas-core
Reporter: Umesh Padashetty
While trying to Bulk Import Business Metadata, a row in the file where we try
to assign Business Metadata attribute to a non-applicable entity type, BM
import throws "invalid business attribute name"
This Error message is misleading since the BM attribute name is correct, but it
is just that it is not applicable to the type which the user has specified.
On similar lines, we have handled this case in 2 ways in the Entity > Business
Metadata attribute association
# We only show the applicable Business Metadata attributes types in the
drop-down
# And via the API, if the user tries to assign a Business Metadata attribute
to a non-applicable type, the API throws the ERROR
##
{code:java}
Invalid instance creation/updation parameters passed : Test BM 2: invalid
business-metadata for entity type hive_table {code}
We need to throw a similar error in the Business Metadata Bulk Import too, else
the error message for sure leads to confusion
