Abstract

A method for managing data in accordance with one or more embodiments of the invention includes obtaining, by a data management system, a data confidence fabric (DCF) configuration request from a client, and in response to the DCF configuration request: providing a plurality of DCF configuration options to the client, obtaining acceptance of a portion of the plurality of DCF configuration options, generating a DCF configuration file based on the portion of the plurality of DCF configuration options, wherein the configuration file specifies a DCF pipeline, and deploying the DCF configuration file to a local data manager.

Claims (55)

1. A method for managing data, the method comprising:

obtaining, by a data management system, a data confidence fabric (DCF) configuration request from a client; and

in response to the DCF configuration request:

providing a plurality of DCF configuration options to the client;

obtaining acceptance of a portion of the plurality of DCF configuration options;

generating a DCF configuration file based on the portion of the plurality of DCF configuration options, wherein the configuration file specifies a DCF pipeline; and

deploying the DCF configuration file to a local data manager.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

obtaining, by the local data manager, a data set;

identifying the DCF pipeline; and

storing the data set based on the DCF pipeline.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein deploying the DCF configuration file to a local data manager comprises:

sending the configuration file to a DCF configuration daemon of the local data manager; and

prompting the DCF configuration daemon to configure a data ingestion manager of the local data manager to perform the DCF pipeline.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCF pipeline specifies at least one of: a process for augmenting data, a process for modifying data, and a process for storing data.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the process for augmenting data comprises at least one of: generating metadata associated with the data and generating a digital signature associated with the data.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the process for modifying data comprises at least one of: encrypting the data and compressing the data.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein the process for storing the data comprises at least one of: storing a copy of the data in a ledger service, storing a copy of metadata associated with the data in an object storage, or generating a ledger entry associated with the data.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to perform a method, the method comprising:

obtaining, by a data management system, a data confidence fabric (DCF) configuration request from a client; and

in response to the DCF configuration request:

providing a plurality of DCF configuration options to the client;

obtaining acceptance of a portion of the plurality of DCF configuration options;

generating a DCF configuration file based on the portion of the plurality of DCF configuration options, wherein the configuration file specifies a DCF pipeline; and

deploying the DCF configuration file to a local data manager.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , the method further comprising:

obtaining, by the local data manager, a data set;

identifying the DCF pipeline; and

storing the data set based on the DCF pipeline.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein deploying the DCF configuration file to a local data manager comprises:

sending the configuration file to a DCF configuration daemon of the local data manager; and

prompting the DCF configuration daemon to configure a data ingestion manager of the local data manager to perform the DCF pipeline.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 wherein the DCF pipeline specifies at least one of: a process for augmenting data, a process for modifying data, and a process for storing data.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the process for augmenting data comprises at least one of: generating metadata associated with the data and generating a digital signature associated with the data.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the process for modifying data comprises at least one of: encrypting the data and compressing the data.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the process for storing the data comprises at least one of: storing a copy of the data in a ledger service, storing a copy of metadata associated with the data in an object storage, or generating a ledger entry associated with the data.

15. A system, comprising:

a processor;

memory comprising instructions, which when executed by the processor, perform a method, the method comprising:

obtaining, by a data management system, a data confidence fabric (DCF) configuration request from a client; and

in response to the DCF configuration request:

providing a plurality of DCF configuration options to the client;

obtaining acceptance of a portion of the plurality of DCF configuration options;

generating a DCF configuration file based on the portion of the plurality of DCF configuration options, wherein the configuration file specifies a DCF pipeline, and wherein the DCF pipeline specifies at least one of: a process for augmenting data, a process for modifying data, and a process for storing data; and

deploying the DCF configuration file to a local data manager.

16. The system of claim 15 , the method further comprising:

obtaining, by the local data manager, a data set;

identifying the DCF pipeline; and

storing the data set based on the DCF pipeline.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein deploying the DCF configuration file to a local data manager comprises:

sending the configuration file to a DCF configuration daemon of the local data manager; and

prompting the DCF configuration daemon to configure a data ingestion manager of the local data manager to perform the DCF pipeline.

18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the process for augmenting data comprises at least one of: generating metadata associated with the data and generating a digital signature associated with the data.

19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the process for modifying data comprises at least one of: encrypting the data and compressing the data.

20. The system of claim 15 , wherein the process for storing the data comprises at least one of: storing a copy of the data in a ledger service, storing a copy of metadata associated with the data in an object storage, or generating a ledger entry associated with the data.
