datahub VS metadata-extractor

Sounds like you are looking for a data catalog tool instead of db schema management tool. You can check out Amundsen (https://www.amundsen.io/), DataHub (https://datahubproject.io/)

If you are looking for schema change management tool, then you can check out Bytebase (bytebase.com). But it can't answer questions like "which collections contain links to bigmongo.user.id?"

IIUC DataHub (open source project out of LinkedIn) might be relevant here

I’m a huge fan of DataHub, the open source data catalogue spun out of LinkedIn, but it’s best thought of as an observability layer for data assets that can be shared by data engineers and analyst-types. For data users: it’s a stellar search/discovery interface (what datasets are there on this keyword, which are most broadly used across the organization, what downstream products are made with this data, what’s it usually joined to, are it’s upstream pipelines reliable). For data engineers, it’s a comprehensive asset cataloger, crawling your warehouse, orchestrator, modeling layers, features, and reports, matching the lineage into a graph where it can.

If you are looking for a data cataloguing solution, look at Datahub. Haven't used it, but heard good things about it.

What I am looking for is a solution (similar to Amundsen or [Datahub](https://datahubproject.io/)) that also allows to add tables and their metadata manually.

Hello everyone, I'm looking for an open-source data lineage app (e.g. tokern, datahubproject, openmetadata).

What about DataHub? Haven't really used it but I'm actively reading about it and about to use it for some light documentation for some small pipelines.

Alternatively and much more easily, you can use a library like Apache Commons Imaging or Metadata-Extractor, or run a shell command to read it.
