CSV output format

When exporting data to CSV, all newline characters are converted to spaces. This applies to every column, including asset names, descriptions, and plain-text attribute values.

Limits

To protect Collibra against extensive memory usage from a single query, global limits are applied:

rootNodesNumberLimit
The maximum number of root nodes sets the maximum value for the displayLength parameter to 100,000.
  • By default, this limit is disabled in all environments.
  • However, we recommend enabling it and using smaller displayLength values to ensure a single query does not overuse system resources.
pageNodesNumberLimit
The maximum number of nodes per page sets the maximum number of both root and child nodes to 1,000,000.
  • This limit is always enabled.
  • All graph queries are internally paged with a page size of 5,000 to produce the full result and return it to the API user.
  • This limit is applied per page.

For endpoints that produce results directly in the response, without creating a file or job, reaching the limit could result in partial responses with a 200 OK HTTP status code. This occurs because results are streamed directly to the response to optimize performance.

You can change the default values for these limits in Collibra Console in the Graph query limits section.
