what data types does the "pegasus2avro" supports?

[HondaHsu2020]

in bootstrap_mce.dat :
"type": {
"type": {
"com.linkedin.pegasus2avro.schema.StringType": {}
}

the "varchar" type in mysql map the "String" type of pegasus2avro，so, I want to know what data types does the "pegasus2avro" supports?

You can see all the types here: https://github.com/linkedin/datahub/blob/master/metadata-models/src/main/pegasus/com/linkedin/schema/SchemaFieldDataType.pdl

Better yet, use the Java version of the CLI (under metadata-ingestion-examples/mce-cli), which consumes a json file rather than avro. Much easier to use.

I should've moved the old python version to contrib as part of #1871, not sure why I didn't. Let me move it.

@HondaHsu2020 : we've overhauled and simplified the metadata ingestion story. Check out the documentation here: https://datahubproject.io/docs/metadata-ingestion/ and the example MCE files here: https://github.com/linkedin/datahub/tree/master/metadata-ingestion/examples/mce_files

Closing this.
