Description

Falcon supports instance search of an entity. We plan to extend this feature to support instance search of a group of entities. The filters include but not limited to: entity name, type, tag, instance status and nominal time range. With this feature, the user can annotate the entities in a pipeline with the same tag, and search with a tag filter for all their instances at a time without clicking on each entity page to monitor the health of a pipeline. More use cases will be included in a separate document.

Our main work includes:
1. Backend support of instance search of a group of entities
2. Improve search performance with Titan graph database indexing
3. Add all instances to Titan, also good for lineage feature
4. Instance search UI from Falcon landing page
