AtlasRelationshipAttributeDef class that captures details of a struct-attribute.
AtlasRelationshipDef AtlasRelationshipDef is a TypeDef that defines a relationship.

As with other typeDefs the AtlasRelationshipDef has a name. Once created the RelationshipDef has a guid. The name and the guid are the 2 ways that the RelationshipDef is identified.

RelationshipDefs have 2 ends, each of which specify cardinality, an EntityDef type name and name and optionally whether the end is a container.

RelationshipDefs can have AttributeDefs - though only primitive types are allowed.
RelationshipDefs have a relationshipCategory specifying the UML type of relationship required
RelationshipDefs also have a PropogateTag - indicating which way tags could flow over the relationships.

The way EntityDefs and RelationshipDefs are intended to be used is that EntityDefs will define AttributeDefs these AttributeDefs will not specify an EntityDef type name as their types.

RelationshipDefs introduce new attributes to the entity instances. For example

EntityDef A might have attributes attr1,attr2,attr3
EntityDef B might have attributes attr4,attr5,attr6
RelationshipDef AtoB might define 2 ends 

   end1:  type A, name attr7
   end2:  type B, name attr8

When an instance of EntityDef A is created, it will have attributes attr1,attr2,attr3,attr7
When an instance of EntityDef B is created, it will have attributes attr4,attr5,attr6,attr8

In this way relationshipDefs can be authored separately from entityDefs and can inject relationship attributes into the entity instances

AtlasRelationshipEndDef The relationshipEndDef represents an end of the relationship. The end of the relationship is defined by a type, an attribute name, cardinality and whether it is the container end of the relationship.

PList Paginated-list, for returning search results.
PropagateTags PropagateTags indicates whether tags should propagate across the relationship instance.

Tags can propagate:

NONE - not at all
ONE_TO_TWO - from end 1 to 2
TWO_TO_ONE - from end 2 to 1
BOTH - both ways

Care needs to be taken when specifying. The use cases we are aware of where this flag is useful:

- propagating confidentiality classifications from a table to columns - ONE_TO_TWO could be used here
- propagating classifications around Glossary synonyms - BOTH could be used here.

There is an expectation that further enhancements will allow more granular control of tag propagation and will address how to resolve conflicts.

QuickSearchParameters
Relation
RelationshipCategory The Relationship category determines the style of relationship around containment and lifecycle. UML terminology is used for the values.

ASSOCIATION is a relationship with no containment.
COMPOSITION and AGGREGATION are containment relationships.

The difference being in the lifecycles of the container and its children. In the COMPOSITION case, the children cannot exist without the container. For AGGREGATION, the life cycles of the container and children are totally independant.

SearchFilter Generic filter, to specify search criteria using name/value pairs.

SortType to specify whether the result should be sorted? If yes, whether asc or desc.
Status Status of the entity - can be active or deleted. Deleted entities are not removed from Atlas store.
