DataHub v0.14.0.2 Release Notes

User Experience

  • Renamed: Validation --> Quality: The Validation tab has been renamed to Quality to make it more intuitive to end-users that it contains outcomes from data quality checks. [#10935]

  • Data Contract UI: A new Data Contract UI is now available under the Quality Tab, allowing users to handle various data assertion types and add/remove contracts more easily. [#10625]

  • Updates to Customized Search Ranking: By default, explore (* ) query results are ranked based on enrichment (tags, terms, owners, description, domains, row/column counts) as well as incident status. [#10774]

  • Custom Dataset Names: Business users can now maintain an editable dataset name separate from default properties, providing more control over dataset identification. [#10608]

  • Documentation Propagation Setting Page: A new settings page has been added to the UI for managing Documentation Propagation, giving users more control over how documentation is shared across the platform. [#11038]

Developer Experience

  • NEW: DataHub Open Assertions Specification:

    • Announcing a universal assertions specification for declaring Data Quality checks and compiling them into artifacts for use by 3rd party Data Quality tools like Great Expectations, dbt tests, and Snowflake via Data Quality DMFs. [#10609]
