Description

Replacing AtlasEntity used in entity notifications with AtlasEntityHeader (which includes fewer attributes) can improve performance, especially for entities having large number of attribute or attributes having large number of array/map elements (like a hive_table containing 1000s of columns).

In addition, it should be possible to specify which entity attributes to include in the notification via type-def - for example by updating AtlasAttributeDef with addition of a flag named 'includeInNotification'.
