Search assets

Atlan uses Elasticsearch to power its search. For ultimate flexibility, Atlan also adopted Elastic's query DSL.

Atlan's search index is eventually consistent

Atlan's search index is updated asynchronously from metadata being persisted to the metastore. So there can be small delays between a create, update, or delete operation completing and being able to search for that same information. Usually this is almost immediate (less than 1 second), but if in code you try to immediately search for something you created or updated you may need a retry loop to find it.
