Supported classes

Below is a list of Operators and Hooks that support OpenLineage extraction, along with specific DB types that are compatible with the SQLExecuteQueryOperator.

Important

While we strive to keep the list of supported classes current, please be aware that our updating process is automated and may not always capture everything accurately. Detecting hook level lineage is challenging so make sure to double check the information provided below.

Tip

You can easily implement OpenLineage support for any operator. See Implementing OpenLineage in Operators.

Core operators

At the moment, two core operators supports OpenLineage. These operators function as a ‘black box,’ capable of running any code, which might limit the extent of lineage extraction. To enhance the extraction of lineage information, operators can utilize the hooks listed below that support OpenLineage.

  • PythonOperator (via airflow.providers.openlineage.extractors.python.PythonExtractor)

  • BashOperator (via airflow.providers.openlineage.extractors.bash.BashExtractor)

SQLExecuteQueryOperator

uses SQL parsing for lineage extraction. To extract unique data from each database type, a dedicated Hook implementing OpenLineage methods is required. Currently, the following databases are supported:
