Facet support reference

OpenLineage describes datasets, jobs and runs with facets: named blocks, each with a _producer and a _schemaURL. This page lists the facets of the OpenLineage specification that the connector knows, and what it does with each. It follows the OpenLineage release 1.55.0 (event schema 2-0-2).

• Legend: ✅ Supported, read and mapped to a Blindata object · ⚠️ Partial, read and only partly used, usually as additional properties · ❌ Not used, accepted and ignored. An event is never rejected for a facet.
• A facet is recognized by the file name in its _schemaURL first (without the version), then by its key. A producer that publishes a standard facet under another key (the Redshift Data provider publishes outputStatistics as stats, Great Expectations publishes greatExpectations_assertions) is still read.
• Unknown and custom facets are accepted, ignored and counted by key in the run report (unknownFacets). A malformed facet is ignored and counted as MALFORMED_FACET; the rest of the event is still read.
• Property values are text of at most 1,000 characters.

Standard facets

Dataset facets

Facet	Version	Decision	What Blindata does

version	1-0-1	❌ Not used	It changes at every run and has no governance value.
dataQualityMetrics (dataset)	1-0-1	✅ Supported	Profiling metric records .

Input and output dataset facets

Facet	Version	Decision	What Blindata does
dataQualityMetrics (input)	1-0-3	✅ Supported	Profiling metric records.

inputSubset, outputSubset	1-0-0	❌ Not used	No equivalent in Blindata.

Job facets

Facet	Version	Decision	What Blindata does
lineage (job)	1-0-0	✅ Supported	The primary declared lineage: table flows, field flows, job to job flows.
sql	1-1-0	✅ Supported	A routine analyzed for column lineage.
jobType	2-0-4	✅ Supported	Job properties (openLineageJobType, processing type, integration). The emissionPattern tells how a run’s events are merged.
sourceCodeLocation	1-1-0	✅ Supported	Job properties.
documentation (job)	1-1-0	✅ Supported	Description or documentation of the job entity.
ownership (job)	1-0-1	⚠️ Partial	Properties.
tags (job)	1-0-0	⚠️ Partial	Properties.
sourceCode	1-0-1	⚠️ Partial	Properties; the code is not analyzed.

Run facets

Facet	Version	Decision	What Blindata does
parent	1-2-0	✅ Supported	Orchestration flows .
jobDependencies	1-0-1	✅ Supported	Orchestration flows.
test	1-0-1	✅ Supported	Quality checks on the job entity.
nominalTime	1-0-1	⚠️ Partial	Read; the nominal times are not published as separate objects.
errorMessage	1-0-1	⚠️ Partial	Read; used for the error of a failed run in the report.
extractionError	1-1-2	⚠️ Partial	A producer-side gap: PRODUCER_PARTIAL_LINEAGE.
processing_engine	1-1-1	⚠️ Partial	Job properties.
externalQuery	1-0-2	❌ Not used
executionParameters	1-0-0	❌ Not used	May contain secrets: never read.
environmentVariables	1-0-0	❌ Not used	May contain secrets: never read.
tags (run)	1-0-0	❌ Not used	A run is not an object in Blindata.

Of the 40 standard facets (in 38 schema files), 20 are supported, 13 partially and 7 not.

Integration-specific facets

These facets are defined by the integrations, with no versioned specification of their own, so the connector matches them by key or schema URL, and ignores what it does not know. “Property” means the content is stored as additional properties of the job or the entity. Facets that may expose secrets or personal data are never read.

Integration	Facet	Attaches to	What Blindata does
Airflow (provider openlineage)	airflow	Job	The DAG and its tasks as job entities, and the task graph (downstream_task_ids) as orchestration flows task to task.
	airflow	Run	Property (DAG id, owner, schedule, operator class).
	airflowDagRun	Run	Property.
	airflowState	Run	Property: the last DAG run state.
	airflow_mappedTask, debug	Run	Ignored.
	unknownSourceAttribute	Run	Gap PRODUCER_NO_LINEAGE: an operator without lineage extraction.
Google Cloud Composer	gcp_composer_job	Job	Property.
	gcp_composer_run	Run	Ignored.
Apache Spark, Databricks	spark_applicationDetails	Run	Property on the job.
	environment-properties	Run	Property (Databricks environment: notebook path, job and run ids, cluster).
	spark.exception	Run	Property.
	spark_unknown	Run	Gap PRODUCER_PARTIAL_LINEAGE: plan nodes the integration could not handle.
	spark_properties, spark_jobDetails, spark.logicalPlan, debug	Run	Ignored (spark_properties may expose configuration; the logical plan is large and the lineage is already extracted).
Google Cloud Dataproc	gcp_dataproc	Run	Property.
Google Cloud Lineage	gcp_lineage	Job	Property.
Apache Iceberg (Spark, Flink)	icebergScanReport	Input	The scan metrics, as run metrics on the entity.
	icebergCommitReport	Output	The commit metrics (added and removed records and files, duration), as run metrics on the output entity.
Apache Flink	flink_job	Run	Property.
	checkpoints	Run	Ignored (runtime health, not data).
Apache Hive (hook)	hive_query	Run	Property.
	hive_session, hive_properties	Run	Never read (personal data, configuration).
dbt (openlineage-dbt)	dbt_node	Job	Property (original file path, database, schema, alias, unique id, test type).
	dbt_run, dbt_version	Run	Property.
	dbt_model	Dataset	Property on the entity (materialization, access, owner, group).
	dbt_exposures	Dataset	Property: Blindata has no dashboard entity for them.
Great Expectations	greatExpectations_assertions	Dataset	Read as dataQualityAssertions: quality checks and results .
	great_expectations_meta	Run	Property.
Google BigQuery provider	bigQuery_error	Run	Property.
	bigQuery_job	Run	Ignored.
Amazon Redshift Data provider	stats	Output	Read as outputStatistics, by its schema URL.
Trino (event listener)	trino_metadata, trino_query_context, trino_query_statistics	Run	The query id as a property; the rest is ignored.

Some facets matter only when a producer is added: an event published from a repository (a JobEvent of a script, for example) carries none of them.

Not covered

• Non-HTTP transports (file, Kafka): only the HTTP API is received.
• Search engines: OpenSearch and Elasticsearch datasets are ignored.
• Run objects: Blindata has no object for a run. Runs are merged and used, not stored.
