DataHub REST API

The Rest.li API represents the underlying persistence layer and exposes the raw PDL models used in storage. It powers the GraphQL API under the hood and is used for system-specific ingestion of metadata by the Metadata Ingestion Framework. This API is considered system-internal and is not recommended for direct external use.
