Benefits of setting up data lineage
Data lineage is an understanding of the data that is used by an organization for analysis, decision support, and reporting. It includes tracking a data set from when it is initially created to when it is in its current state. It is a critical component to data governance and risk management, as it helps to understand and record the origin, transferal, and eventual application of data. Data lineage provides a view of how data moves across systems, environments, and applications and can be used to identify any discrepancies or inaccuracies. Data lineage also aids in tracing data errors and tracing the data back to their sources of origin. As data lineage can provide a record of all the data transformation, it is also an invaluable tool when auditing organizational data, as it provides an audit trail and can be used to pinpoint any potential issues.
Why should you have Data lineage for Databricks
Data lineage is particularly important in Databricks because it provides the ability to trace the path of data across the platform. With this tool, users can examine the source of any data element, how it is transformed along its journey, and any other manipulations applied to it before its final destination. This allows Databricks users to fully understand the life cycle of their data, from source to output. Furthermore, organizations are able to track data sources and processes over time, enabling them to gain additional insight into the relationships between data elements. With this visibility and powerful tracing capabilities, Data lineage can be used to improve processes and productivity, to comply with industry regulations, and to identify potential data quality and integrity issues.
