Reference Assets
In some cases, you might see on your lineage VIEW
assets with a type ending with _REF
. They represent a placeholder for an asset that we know appear on the lineage upstream/downstream but that have not been added yet to Sifflet. Once the datasource is added, the table will replace the _REF
asset on the lineage.
In the example below, the view STG_LOCATIONS
is based on a table DEMO.ECOMMERCE_SAMPLE.LOCATIONS
of type DATASET_REF
. The table DEMO.ECOMMERCE_SAMPLE.LOCATIONS
has not yetx been added to Sifflet. Most likely, the schema ECOMMERCE_SAMPLE
of database DEMO
has not been added in the datasources.
Once the right source has been added, the placeholder will be replaced by the "real" LOCATIONS
table.
