Introducing DataHub Cloud v0.3.11

We’re back with another powerful update — DataHub Cloud v0.3.11 is here! This release introduces a full product rebrand, a refreshed search bar experience, a new tags management interface, and important enhancements across Lineage, Glossary, Proposals, and more.

Let’s dive into the latest improvements rolling out to your metadata platform.

Introducing DataHub Cloud

We’re proud to announce that the Acryl product is now officially rebranded as DataHub Cloud! This change reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting the open source DataHub community and delivering a seamless, modern experience for organizations using DataHub at scale. You’ll notice updated logos and product copy across the platform.

The Acryl Data logo appears on the left with a right-facing arrow pointing to the DataHub logo on the right, symbolizing the company’s rebrand from Acryl Data to DataHub.

A sleeker, smarter search bar

We’ve redesigned the search bar experience across DataHub Cloud to make it more powerful, intuitive, and visually polished.

Here’s what’s new:

  • Modern UI: Clean new look that aligns with the rest of the DataHub interface.
  • Filter integration: Apply filters right from the global search, without needing to jump to the dedicated search results page.
  • Consistent ranking: Results now behave more predictably and match those from the main search page.

This is the beginning of a broader investment in making search faster, smarter, and easier to use across all parts of the app.

Tag management is here

You asked, we delivered. DataHub Cloud now includes a Tags Management experience — your one-stop destination for browsing, auditing, and maintaining your tag taxonomy.

Inbox proposals redesign

A sleek new look for Change Proposals is here — now available in Private Beta!

This redesigned experience brings powerful new capabilities that make managing and reviewing metadata proposals faster and more intuitive than ever:

  • Modern UI for browsing, filtering, and managing your proposal inbox
  • Bulk actions to quickly approve or deny multiple proposals at once
  • Proposal and resolution notes to add important context for both submitters and reviewers
  • My Proposals view to easily track the status of proposals you’ve submitted

Python SDK enhancement: Introducing EmitMode flag for ingestion

We’ve added a powerful new configuration option for Ingestion Rest Emitters: EmitMode. This gives you fine-grained control over how metadata changes are written and persisted so you can be confident your batch writes reliably make it to DataHub.

Available modes:

  • ASYNC: Queues and returns immediately — great for high-throughput use cases.
  • ASYNC_WAIT: Queues but waits for confirmation — ensures strong consistency without sacrificing performance.
  • SYNC_PRIMARY: Writes synchronously to SQL, asynchronously to search.
  • SYNC_WAIT (OpenAPI only): Writes synchronously to SQL, waits for confirmation, search index updates asynchronously.

Note: Async modes may be impacted by Kafka lag. SYNC_WAIT is only available via OpenAPI. ASYNC_WAIT may require at least one completed run to take full effect.

Example usage:

```python
from datahub.emitter.rest_emitter import EmitMode
graph.emit_mcp(metadata_event, emit_mode=EmitMode.ASYNC_WAIT)
```

Remote Executor: Required version update

To continue using Remote Executors, make sure you’re upgraded to Remote Executor v0.3.11 — this version is now required for compatibility with the latest release.

Platform updates
