Domains are curated, top-level folders or categories where related assets can be explicitly grouped. Management of Domains can be centralized, or distributed out to Domain owners Currently, an asset can belong to only one Domain at a time. For more information about domains, refer to About DataHub Domains.
This guide will show you how to
- Create a domain.
- Read domains attached to a dataset.
- Add a dataset to a domain
- Remove the domain from a dataset.
For this tutorial, you need to deploy DataHub Quickstart and ingest sample data. For detailed steps, please refer to Datahub Quickstart Guide.
mutation createDomain {
createDomain(input: { name: "Marketing", description: "Entities related to the marketing department" })
}
If you see the following response, the operation was successful:
{
"data": {
"createDomain": "<domain_urn>"
},
"extensions": {}
}
curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:8080/api/graphql' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <my-access-token>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{ "query": "mutation createDomain { createDomain(input: { name: \"Marketing\", description: \"Entities related to the marketing department.\" }) }", "variables":{}}'
Expected Response:
{ "data": { "createDomain": "<domain_urn>" }, "extensions": {} }
{{ inline /metadata-ingestion/examples/library/create_domain.py show_path_as_comment }}
You can now see Marketing
domain has been created under Govern > Domains
.
You can also create a nested domain, or a domain within another domain.
mutation createDomain {
createDomain(input: { name: "Verticals", description: "An optional description", parentDomain: "urn:li:domain:marketing" })
}
curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:8080/api/graphql' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <my-access-token>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{ "query": "mutation createDomain { createDomain(input: { name: \"Verticals\", description: \"Entities related to the verticals sub-domain.\", parentDomain: \"urn:li:domain:marketing\" }) }", "variables":{}}'
{{ inline /metadata-ingestion/examples/library/create_nested_domain.py show_path_as_comment }}
This query will create a new domain, "Verticals", under the "Marketing" domain.
query {
dataset(urn: "urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,fct_users_created,PROD)") {
domain {
associatedUrn
domain {
urn
properties {
name
}
}
}
}
}
If you see the following response, the operation was successful:
{
"data": {
"dataset": {
"domain": {
"associatedUrn": "urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,fct_users_created,PROD)",
"domain": {
"urn": "urn:li:domain:71b3bf7b-2e3f-4686-bfe1-93172c8c4e10",

--data-raw '{ "query": "{ dataset(urn: \"urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,fct_users_created,PROD)\") { domain { associatedUrn domain { urn properties { name } } } } }", "variables":{}}'
Expected Response:
{
"data": {
"dataset": {
"domain": {
"associatedUrn": "urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,fct_users_created,PROD)",
"domain": {
"urn": "urn:li:domain:71b3bf7b-2e3f-4686-bfe1-93172c8c4e10",

mutation setDomain {
setDomain(domainUrn: "urn:li:domain:marketing", entityUrn: "urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,fct_users_created,PROD)")
}
If you see the following response, the operation was successful:
{
"data": {
"setDomain": true
},
"extensions": {}
}
curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:8080/api/graphql' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <my-access-token>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{ "query": "mutation setDomain { setDomain(entityUrn: "urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,fct_users_created,PROD)", domainUrn: "urn:li:domain:marketing")) }", "variables":{}}'
Expected Response:
{ "data": { "setDomain": true }, "extensions": {} }
{{ inline /metadata-ingestion/examples/library/dataset_add_domain_execute_graphql.py show_path_as_comment }}
You can now see Marketing
domain has been added to the dataset.
mutation unsetDomain {
unsetDomain(
entityUrn:"urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,fct_users_created,PROD)"
)
}
Expected Response:
{
"data": {
"removeDomain": true
},
"extensions": {}
}
curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:8080/api/graphql' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <my-access-token>' \

{{ inline /metadata-ingestion/examples/library/dataset_remove_domain_execute_graphql.py show_path_as_comment }}
You can now see a domain Marketing
has been removed from the fct_users_created
dataset.
