Mandy Chessell updated ATLAS-1095:
----------------------------------
Description:
Atlas provides a common approach to metadata management and governance across
all systems and data within an organization. Today Atlas provides access to
metadata. A connector provides access to a data source. As connectors are
the proxy of all data, they can also be explicit providers of metadata.
This JIRA proposes an open connector framework to manage connectors that
provide access to both data and the metadata Atlas provides together through a
single connector interface.
This will help data tools to to better the exchange of information between
platforms. It also offers new opportunities for the consistent enforcement of
the governance policies and rules (e.g., rules of visibility). Source
connector/connection metadata provides the nucleus around which all other
metadata describing the data builds.

Introducing this framework:
The Connector Broker is used to access to (finding and instantiating) a
connector instance.
Provides extension API supporting both partial and incremental adoption of the
framework by existing connector provider runtimes allowing connector
providers/contributors to adapt what they have vs re-write.
Introducing the APIs for metadata-enabled open connectors:
Provides an API for the normalized access to the metadata describing a
connector (asset type, connection type). This is called the Asset OMAS
The key personas using the framework are the tool developers and developers.
As a connector developer, I want to create a new connector (or register an
existing connector) to plug into the framework so that I can retrieve and
manage metadata about what the source provides and ensure data used from that
source has governance policies (e.g., rules of visibility) consistently
configured and enforced.
The tool developer uses a connector available through the framework to
implement an application. Leveraging the APIs of the connector framework
applications will be able to find relevant sources systems and connect to them.
