Description

Background

Currently name and description get set as part of setting technical metadata. Example, Hive hook sets these values as part of posting hook messages. Once this data is available within Atlas, there is no way to override these attributes. It would not make sense to change these values since these are set as part of initial ingest.

Solution

Add displayName and userDescription to Asset optional attributes. Later, UI can be developed to let end user update these properties interactively.
