If you have worked in the data space, you would have heard the term Metadata. It is used as a catch-all term. Here are a few things to think about when someone mentions Metadata 👇

#data #dataengineering #metadata #dataops
1. Orchestration: Time of run, re-run information, pipeline structure, the execution time for the pipeline, pipeline failure times, etc

2. Data processing: Input parameters, failure stack trace, number of rows processed, number of rows in output, number of discarded rows, etc
3. Data quality: Mean/sum/avg, etc. for numerical columns, available values for enum columns, etc. (think dataframe.describe in pandas)
Sometimes semantic information about the data might also be referred to as Metadata. Make sure to understand what one means when they say Metadata.
That's a wrap!
