In this section, we provide guides and references to use the ADLS Datalake connector.

Configure and schedule ADLS Datalake metadata and profiler workflows from the OpenMetadata UI:

• Requirements
• Metadata Ingestion
• dbt Integration

Requirements

Note: ADLS Datalake connector supports extracting metadata from file types JSON, CSV, TSV & Parquet.

ADLS Permissions

To extract metadata from Azure ADLS (Storage Account - StorageV2), you will need an App Registration with the following permissions on the Storage Account:

• Storage Blob Data Reader
• Storage Queue Data Reader

Python Requirements

Azure installation

pip3 install "openmetadata-ingestion[datalake-azure]"

Metadata Ingestion

All connectors are defined as JSON Schemas. Here you can find the structure to create a connection to Datalake.

In order to create and run a Metadata Ingestion workflow, we will follow the steps to create a YAML configuration able to connect to the source, process the Entities if needed, and reach the OpenMetadata server.

The workflow is modeled around the following JSON Schema.

1. Define the YAML Config

This is a sample config for Datalake using Azure:
