Hemanth Yamijala commented on ATLAS-1110:
-----------------------------------------
The entity definition for a hive column already defines the column type as an
attribute. When we GET the entity using Atlas REST API, we should be seeing a
*values* attribute which is a map that contains all the attributes defined for
a type with the values of the specific entity being retrieved. In the report
above, I am not sure if the entire response is captured. Can you please check
the entire response, or paste it here for reference?
> Improve Atlas Entity Rest API to show Hive column type (e.g int) as a JSON
> Object.

> not a text string that I need to parse which potentially could change its
> content.
