    Study Notes

    Unity Catalog Overview

    • Unity Catalog is a data governance tool for data, analytics, and AI.
    • It offers fine-grained governance across multiple cloud environments.
    • Supports open standards like ANSI SQL.
    • Unifies data and AI assets for central management and access.
    • Works with existing data, storage, and catalogs without migration.

    Data Governance Features

    • Data access control: Controls who can access specific data.
    • Data access audit: Records all data access activity.
    • Data lineage: Tracks the origin and flow of data.
    • Data discovery: Enables searching for and finding authorized data assets.

    Unity Catalog Architecture

    • Metastore: The top-level logical container in Unity Catalog.
      • Contains credentials.
      • Defines external locations.
      • Houses schemas (databases) that organize tables, views, and functions.
    • Catalog: A logical container for schemas, tables, views, and functions and is a three level namespace
      • catalog.schema.table is used to access an object.
    • Hive Metastore: A special catalog for legacy access to data.
    • Workspaces: Different workspaces can reuse access control lists and security policies.

    Security Model

    • Query life cycle: Starts with a user request, checks the Unity Catalog for permissions, retrieves the data, and returns it to the user.
    • Principal checks: Databricks verifies authentication and permissions.
    • Cloud storage: Short-lived tokens and signed URLs secure the data retrieval.
    • Compute resources: Vary with cluster access modes.
      • Single-user mode: Unity Catalog is supported.
      • Shared mode: Unity Catalog is supported.
      • Shared (no isolation) mode: Unity Catalog is not supported.
