User Stories: 

 Goal 1 and 2: 

  1. User should be able to search key-value metadata with the following or with its prefix:
    • key-value 
    • key with part of value
    • value
    • Individual words in the value

      Example:
      User stores a key-value metadata with key = "Codename" and value = "Alpha Tango Charlie" for an entity
    • User should be able to search for this entity with the following queries:
      • key-value
        1. Codename: Alpha Tango Charlie
        2. Codename: Alpha Tang*
      • key with part of value
        1. Codename: Alpha
        2. Codename: Tango
        3. Codename: Charlie
        4. Codename: Alp*
      • value
        1. Alpha Tango Charlie
        2. Alpha*
        3. Alpha Tan*
          Note:
          1. We have decided not to support searches for queries which have parts of value for example "Tango Charlie". You can either search for whole value or with prefix or single words (we plan to tokenize on whitespace) 
      • parts of value
        1. Alpha
        2. Tango
        3. Charlie
        4. Alph*
        5. Tan*
        6. Ch*
  2. User should be able to search tags metadata with the following or with its prefix:
    • tags key and a tag value
    • a tag value

      Example:
      User tags an entity with the following tags "Tag1, Tag22"
    • User should be able to search for this entity with the following queries:
      • tag key and a tag value:
        1. tags: Tag1
        2. tags: Tag*
      • a tag value
        1. tag22 
        2. tag2*
  3. User should be able search for entities (datasets, streams, views) through field-names in schema with the following or with its prefix:
    1. fieldname
    2. fieldname scoped with schema - this should limit the search to just schema fields and not other metadata
    3. User should be able to search for all entities with which has a schema

      Example:
      A dataset has the following schema: 

      Code Block
      titleNested Schema
      {
        "EmpName": "String",
        "EmpContact": {
          "EmpTel": "Integer",
          "EmpAddr": "String"
        }
      }

      User should be able to search for this dataset with the following queries:

      • fieldname:
        1. EmpName
        2. EmpContact
        3. EmpTel 
        4. EmpAddr
        5. Emp*
      • fieldname scoped to schema:
        1. schema: EmpName
        2. schema: EmpContact
        3. schema: EmpTel
        4. schema: EmpAddr 
        5. schema: Emp*
      • search for all entities with a schema
        1. schema:* This will return this dataset entity and also all the other entities which have schema stored as their metadata

      Note:
      • We don't plan to support schema searches with fieldType. If a user  searched with a query which is not scoped with schema by default it will search for schema fields besides the normal key-value and tags.
        Open questions:
        • What if an entity has multiple schema (ex: transform which has input and output schema)
          • Maybe We can index its fields with input and output schema and we expect an user to specify whether they are looking for something in input schema or output schema. 
        • What about entities which have more than one schema?
          • Maybe we can store them either as input output with identifier.
        • How will an user search for a fieldName across input and output schema ?
          • One way is to besides indexing the fields as input and output schema we also index every field as just schema so that we can perform such queries.
