Netflix patents system to check data quality and alert users
This filing describes a method for checking the quality of data streams before they are stored in a data warehouse. The system compares incoming data against specific rules or formats, calculates quality metrics, and sends alerts to teams using that data if issues are found.
In the filing’s own words
One embodiment sets forth a technique for generating data quality metrics that includes identifying an input data stream comprising a plurality of events, determining at least one of a schema or a data governance rule associated with the input data stream, providing the schema or data governance rule to the input data stream, wherein the input data stream outputs events according to the schema or the data governance rule, the events being stored in a data warehouse, calculating a plurality of data quality metrics associated with the events from the input data stream that are stored in the data warehouse, and generating one or more alerts to a downstream data consumer based on the data quality metrics and the events stored in the data warehouse.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A computer-implemented method for generating data quality metrics, the method comprising: identifying an input data stream comprising a plurality of events; determining at least one of a schema or a data governance rule associated with the input data stream; providing the schema or data governance rule to the input data stream, wherein the input data stream outputs events according to the schema or the data governance rule; calculating a plurality of data quality metrics associated with the events from the input data stream that are stored in the data warehouse; and providing one or more alerts to a downstream data consumer based on the data quality metrics and the events stored in the data warehouse.
