Can I Configure HVR to Add Tags to Tables or Columns in Databricks?

Question

How can I configure HVR to add tags to tables or columns in Databricks during replication?

Environment

• HVR 6
• Target: Databricks with Unity Catalog

Answer

HVR doesn't support adding or propogating Databricks table or column tags during replication. However, as a workaround, you can use either of the following options:

• Apply tags after replication using Databricks SQL commands, such as ALTER TABLE ... SET TAGS, or the Unity Catalog API.
• Use a transformation tool such as dbt to apply tags to Databricks after ingestion.
