Description

Currently AtlasObjectId can identify an object given typeName and guid. To address the scenarios where guid is not known, it will be convenient to be able to identity the object with its unique attribute names.

For example, see the value of "hive_table.db" attribute below:

{
  "typeName": "hive_table",
  "attributes: {
    "name": "invoices",
    "db": {
      "typeName": "hive_db",
      "uniqueAttributes": {
        "qualifiedName": "finance@cl1"
      }
    }
  }
}
