Overview: Landing zone entities¶
A landing zone entity is the entry point for ingesting and storing raw data in your data platform. Landing zones are optimized to capture large volumes of unprocessed data from diverse sources. Data is retained in its original format, providing a secure and scalable staging area for subsequent processing.
Landing zone entities validate incoming data and resource types, helping ensure data integrity before data advances to later stages (bronze, silver, and gold). For example, if a source system contains 10 tables, create 10 landing zone entities—one for each table.
How to create a landing zone entity¶
To add a new landing zone entity:
- Use the Entity Wizard.
- Alternatively, create an entity directly from the landing zone entities panel.
Organizing raw data with landing zone entities streamlines management and prepares data for downstream processing and analytics.
Notebook entity values¶
When a notebook cell takes a long time to complete, you can increase the timeout.
If timeout_per_cell_in_seconds is not set as an entity value, the default timeout is 1800 seconds (30 minutes). A higher value than 30 minutes may be necessary for APIs that require pagination.
| Attribute | Description | Required | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| timeout_total_in_seconds | Timeout for the notebook entity in seconds | No | 43200 |
| timeout_per_cell_in_seconds | Timeout for each notebook cell in seconds | No | 1800 |
| CustomParametersJSON | Parameter containing JSON styled key-value pairs for Notebook Sources | No |
