David, I agree on replacing ‘trait’ with ‘Classification’. I guess the name ‘triat’ might have been influenced by Scala (and not from Ranger, which doesn’t have ‘triat’ in its vocab..).
Instead of renaming in the existing APIs, how about we go with the new name in the API introduced in ATLAS-1171?

I know that this would effect the API, so am keen to understand how we agree to version the API maybe including other changes. I feel trait is not very descriptive and I assume comes from Ranger terminology. I think using classification instead brings us into using terminology better representing the Atlas capability and its role in governance use cases. I am keen to get your feedback. I do not feel that I should just submit a fix like this - I think we need more agreement to account for the impact on current users. At the same time, we are still in incubation we should be able to make changes like this to polish the API. I am looking forward to your thoughts, David Radley Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
