World's most powerful open data catalog for building a high-performance, geo-distributed and federated metadata lake.

Apache Gravitino (incubating)

Introduction

Apache Gravitino is a high-performance, geo-distributed, and federated metadata lake. It manages the metadata directly in different sources, types, and regions. It also provides users with unified metadata access for data and AI assets.

Gravitino aims to provide several key features:

• Single Source of Truth for multi-regional data with geo-distributed architecture support.
• Unified Data and AI asset management for both users and engines.
• Security in one place, centralizing the security for different sources.
• Built-in data management and data access management.

Online documentation

You can find the latest Gravitino documentation in the doc folder. This README file only contains basic setup instructions.

Building Apache Gravitino

You can build Gravitino using Gradle. Currently you can build Gravitino on Linux and macOS, Windows isn't supported.

To build Gravitino, please run:

./gradlew clean build -x test

If you want to build a distribution package, please run:

./gradlew compileDistribution -x test

to build a distribution package.

Or:

./gradlew assembleDistribution -x test

to build a compressed distribution package.

The directory distribution contains the generated binary distribution package.

For the details of building and testing Gravitino, please see How to build Gravitino.

Quick start

Configure and start the Apache Gravitino server

If you already have a binary distribution package, go to the directory of the decompressed package.

Before starting the Gravitino server, please configure the Gravitino server configuration file. The configuration file, gravitino.conf, is in the conf directory and follows the standard property file format. You can modify the configuration within this file.

To start the Gravitino server, please run:

./bin/gravitino.sh start

To stop the Gravitino server, please run:

./bin/gravitino.sh stop

Alternatively, to run the Gravitino server in frontend, please run:

./bin/gravitino.sh run

And press CTRL+C to stop the Gravitino server.

Using Trino with Apache Gravitino

Gravitino provides a Trino connector to access the metadata in Gravitino. To use Trino with Gravitino, please follow the trino-gravitino-connector doc.

ASF Incubator disclaimer

Apache Gravitino is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
