> Atlas data-model allows marking an attribute as unique; and on entity create/update operations, Atlas verifies that this constraint is not violated i.e. no more than one *active* entity of a given entity-type can have same value for a unique-attribute.
> However, no store-level constraint is created to enforce uniqueness. This is likely to be due to the fact that there can be multiple *deleted* entities with the same typeName & unique-attribute value. And having such store-level constraint wouldn't allow this to exist.
> An alternate approach is to create a 'shadow-property' at the store-level for the unique-attribute; and this property should be set only for active entities. When an entity is deleted, this 'shadow-property' will be removed from the entity-vertex. In this approach, the unique-constraint can be set at the store level for the 'shadow-property'. In addition to enforcing the constraint at the store level, it might also help in quicker entity-retrieval given typeName and unique-attribute.
