Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to query the lineage relationships in the Python SDK. While the SDK offers the APIs, using them correctly is still not very intuitive. For example:
get_lineage_by_id(Table, entity.id): This doesn't work - the requested URL looks something like v1/lineage/table/root=UUID('abcdef')?upstreamDepth=1&downstreamDepth=1
get_lineage_by_id(Table, entity.id.root): This works, with UUID being encoded correctly in the URL.
The trick is to read the .root field manually from either ID or FQN, since these are pydantic abstractions.
I'd hope that the API implementation could extract .root part automatically.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Keep it as is, make it obvious in the documentation
