             Summary: Issue with uniqueAttribute while creation of entities
                 Key: ATLAS-1743
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-1743
             Project: Atlas
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components:  atlas-core
    Affects Versions: 0.8-incubating, 0.9-incubating
            Reporter: Sharmadha Sainath


Atlas allows creation of entities with same value for unique attributes.

For example ,
1. Created an hdfs_path entity with 
* name = dir1
* qualifiedName = "userdir@cl1" 
* path = /user/user1/dir

Entity is created successfully.

2. Created another hdfs_path entity  with
* name = dir2
* qualifiedName = "userdir@cl1" 
* path = /user/user2/dir

Qualified Name is uniqueAttribute and entity creation with same Qualified Name is allowed.

Problem is when the 2nd hdfs_path entity is created , 1st entity is updated with 2nd entity's values , hence 2nd entity creation is merely an update call here instead of a create call because of same unique attribute.

There is no condition to check uniqueness of attributes while creation of entities which is causing the problem.

If 1st hdfs_path entity is DELETED , then 2nd hdfs_path entity POST call creates new entity.
