Is there a plan to add a glossary feature in Gravitino?

[srimathithangaraj]

Hi team,

I wanted to check if there are any plans to introduce a glossary functionality in Gravitino. This would be helpful for defining business terms, maintaining consistent terminology and improving data understanding.
If this feature is already being considered or tracked, could you please point me to the related issue or roadmap item?

Are you referring to this? https://github.com/apache/gravitino/blob/main/docs/glossary.md

No. A Glossary within a data platform serves as a centralized and authoritative place where user define and manage key business terms.It usually includes capabilities like

• Defining and managing key business terms with definitions, descriptions
• Groups terms into categories or hierarchies
• Linking glossary terms to datasets, tables

Platforms like Datahub and Openmetadata already offer this. Having similar capabilities in Gravitino would be extremely helpful. Is Glossary support currently on the roadmap or under consideration. If yes, any tentative timeline or design direction would be great to know.

Hi @srimathithangaraj, the community doesn't have a plan to support glossary for now, we haven't received lots of requirements about this. But this community is quite open; if you have the requirement and plan/solution, you can propose a solution to the community and work on it.
