[FEATURE]: Add UC table-/column-level tagging support within SDP #106

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues

Problem statement

Setting Unity Catalog tags is not currently natively supported by SDP as part of declarative table DDLs, and ALTER TABLE/SET TAGS SQL commands are prohibited within the SDP execution runtime. This makes UC tagging hard within the context of SDP. Even so, it is a much-demanded capability from customers to support their tag-based ABAC governance policies. It also something that is supported by competitor tooling, such as DBT.

Proposed Solution

Extend LFF to set Unity Catalog table- and column-level tags via an SDP event_hook. The hook reconciles configured tags against system.information_schema through the EntityTagAssignments REST API. Opt in by adding a tags map to a streaming table/materialized view target, or to columns in a JSON/YAML schema file.
