Overview

Description

HasDomains is a mixin interface in the DataHub Java SDK V2 that provides domain assignment operations for entities. Entities implementing this interface can be assigned to DataHub domains for organizational governance. The interface supports setting a single domain, removing specific domains, clearing all domains, and retrieving domain assignments.

Mutation methods such as removeDomain() and clearDomains() are annotated with @RequiresMutable and enforce that the entity is not in a read-only state.

The interface uses the self-bounded generic pattern (T extends Entity & HasDomains<T>) for fluent API chaining.

Usage

Entity classes implement this interface to gain domain management capabilities. The setDomain() method replaces all existing domains with a single domain, while removeDomain() removes a specific one. Read operations (getDomain() and getDomains()) use lazy aspect loading.

Inputs

Method	Parameter	Type	Description
setDomain	domainUrn	String	URN string of the domain to assign
setDomain	domain	Urn	URN object of the domain to assign
removeDomain	domainUrn	String	URN string of the domain to remove
removeDomain	domain	Urn	URN object of the domain to remove

Outputs

Method	Return Type	Description
setDomain	T	The entity itself for fluent chaining
removeDomain	T	The entity itself for fluent chaining
clearDomains	T	The entity itself for fluent chaining
getDomain	Urn (nullable)	The first domain URN, or null if none present
getDomains	List<Urn> (nullable)	All domain URNs, or null if none present

Exceptions:

• InvalidUrnException - thrown if a string URN cannot be parsed
• ReadOnlyEntityException - thrown by @RequiresMutable methods on read-only entities

Usage Examples

Dataset dataset = Dataset.builder()
    .platform("snowflake")
    .name("my_table")
    .build();

// Set a domain
dataset.setDomain("urn:li:domain:engineering");

// Read the domain back
Urn domain = dataset.getDomain();

// Remove a domain (requires mutable entity)
dataset.removeDomain("urn:li:domain:engineering");

// Clear all domains
dataset.clearDomains();
