CrateDB uses a single-cluster architecture where all data is stored within one logical database. Unlike traditional databases that support multiple databases, CrateDB organizes data using schemas within a single cluster. This affects how Atlan maps CrateDB assets:

  • Database: Represents the single CrateDB cluster
  • Schemas: Organize tables, views, and other objects within the cluster
  • Tables/Views: Store the actual data and metadata

Once you have crawled CrateDB, you can use connector-specific filters for quick asset discovery. Atlan extracts and maps the following assets and properties from CrateDB during crawling.
