## Recommendations

### Priority 1: Core Data Assets (Q1 2025)
- Implement Chart, Metric, MLModel entity classes
- Add StoredProcedure and Query management
- Complete SearchIndex integration

### Priority 2: Service Integration (Q2 2025)
- Add MessagingService support (Kafka, Pulsar)
- Implement ObjectStoreService (S3, GCS)
- Add MLModelService integrations

### Priority 3: Governance & Quality (Q2 2025)
- Implement Classification and Domain APIs
- Add DataContract support
- Complete TestCase/TestSuite framework

### Priority 4: Security & Operations (Q3 2025)
- Add Role and Policy management
- Implement Workflow APIs
- Add Event and Feed management

### Priority 5: Advanced Features (Q4 2025)
- Add Persona management
- Implement SCIM support
- Add cost tracking features

## Implementation Strategy

### 1. Extend BaseEntity Pattern
All new entities should follow the established pattern:
```python
class NewEntity(BaseEntity):
    @classmethod
    def entity_type(cls):
        return NewEntityClass
    
    @classmethod
    def create(cls, request: CreateNewEntityRequest):
        # Implementation
    
    @classmethod
    def retrieve(cls, entity_id: str, fields: List[str] = None):
        # Implementation
```

### 2. Add Corresponding Mixins
For complex operations, add mixins to OMeta:
```python
class NewEntityMixin:
    def get_new_entity_by_name(self, fqn: str):
        # Implementation
```

### 3. Test Coverage
Each new entity needs comprehensive unit tests:
- Create operations
- Retrieve by ID/name
- Update/Patch operations
- Delete operations
- List operations

### 4. Documentation
Update SDK documentation with:
- Usage examples
- API reference
- Migration guides from direct OMeta usage

## Conclusion

The Python SDK currently covers approximately **30%** of the Java SDK's functionality. The main gaps are in:
1. Advanced data asset types (Charts, Metrics, MLModels)
2. Service integrations (Messaging, ML, Object Storage)
3. Governance features (Classifications, Domains, Data Contracts)
4. Operational APIs (Workflows, Events, Feeds)

Implementing the missing features would require:
- ~50 new entity classes
- ~20 additional OMeta mixins
- ~200+ unit tests
- Comprehensive documentation updates

The recommended approach is to prioritize based on user demand and implement in phases over 2025.
