Welcome to Intake plugin for nested YAML catalogs

This is an Intake plugin supporting a single YAML hierarchical catalog to organize datasets and avoid a data swamp.

Example of organizing the datasets by business domain entities:

metadata:
  hierarchical_catalog: true
entity:
  customer:
    customer_attributes:
      args:
        urlpath: s3://foo
      driver: parquet
  user:
    user_profile:
      args:
        urlpath: s3://foo
      driver: parquet

Can be accessed as:

df = catalog.entity.customer.customer_attributes.read()
