Ernie, All bridges are accepted and certified to the extent that there are tests run against them for ensuring expected behavior. In terms of functionality, the Hive bridge / hook is the most advanced covering a huge list of capabilities (added in the soon to be released 0.7 release). Sqoop, Falcon and Storm bridges might add more functionality going forward, but whatever exists should work as well. This document might provide some insight into what exists based on a slightly older version of the Atlas source: http://hortonworks.com/hadoop-tutorial/cross-component-lineage-apache-atlas/
Hope this helps.

(apologies if this is a duplicate --- I have been having email issues). Continuing our research into the API. Thanks to everyone who put together some of the pre-built images. They have been a very helpful accelerator. A question about the types that exist within the thus-far documented bridges. Is there a formal approval policy around the various types that exist for each of the bridges? I've created my own custom types, which of course opens the door to anything, but the use case that is most interesting to our current customers is to pull in existing types for the bridges that are already outlined at the incubator pages....... Are the bridges just examples? For example, hive_table or sqoop_process. Are those now "accepted and certified" (as much as that might mean) for the project? Right now I am just looking to provide guidance to our customers, and I expect that those types probably are quite solid and reliable for use in the future (with the usual caveats, of course, than anything can change at any time) but wondering if there was any formal vetting process for how the types and the bridges they belong to become "accepted". Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
