Pull request overview
This PR improves OpenMetadata ingestion robustness (notably Snowflake) by isolating per-entity failures so a single bad table name/FQN does not halt ingestion for the rest of a schema.
Changes:
- Add per-row / per-entity try/except handling in Snowflake schema-column reflection and Snowflake deleted-table FQN collection.
- Refactor
CommonDbSourceService.get_tables_name_and_typeandTopologyRunnerMixin._process_stageto warn-and-continue on per-entity failures. - Add unit tests covering the new fault-isolation behavior and confirming
quote_namestill rejects embedded newlines.

…break a schema A Snowflake table whose name cannot be FQN-quoted (e.g. an embedded newline coming from a backup script that forgot to strip a trailing "\n") used to break the entire schema's ingestion through several non-isolated code paths: - snowflake/utils.py::_get_schema_columns iterated information_schema.columns rows; the first bad row caused @reflection.cache to cache the exception, so every subsequent get_columns() call in the same schema re-raised it. Every valid table in the schema ended up ingested with columns=[]. - snowflake/metadata.py::_get_table_names_and_types's deleted-tables FQN listcomp aborted on the first bad deleted name and dropped the rest. - common_db_source.py::get_tables_name_and_type wrapped the entire table+view iteration in a single try/except. One fqn.build() failure ended the generator, so good tables yielded after the bad one were silently skipped. - topology_runner.py::_process_stage caught only ValueError, so an APIError from get_by_name (when the server's quoteName rejected a bad FQN) halted the whole stage and skipped every remaining entity in the schema. Each site is now per-entity-isolated: a single bad entry is logged at WARNING and skipped; the rest of the schema continues. Per-entity failures stay as warnings -- they do not escalate to status.failed -- so a known-noisy table that the user has already filtered out doesn't trip WorkflowExecutionError on every run. Adds focused unit tests for each of the four fault-isolation sites and flips the existing quote_name newline test to assert the rejection (matching the OM server's contract).

Summary
A Snowflake table whose name cannot be FQN-quoted (e.g. an embedded newline coming from a backup script that forgot to strip a trailing
\n) used to break ingestion for every other table in the same schema. Investigation found four non-isolated code paths; this PR makes each of them per-entity-fault-isolated.The bad table itself still can't be ingested (the OM server's
quoteNamerejects the name too), but it now produces a single warning instead of cascading failures across the entire schema and the whole workflow.What was broken
snowflake/utils.py::_get_schema_columns— iteratedinformation_schema.columnsrows and the first bad row caused@reflection.cacheto cache the exception, so every subsequentget_columns()in the schema re-raised it. Every valid table in the schema was ingested withcolumns=[].snowflake/metadata.py::_get_table_names_and_types— the deleted-tables FQN listcomp aborted on the first bad deleted name and dropped the rest.common_db_source.py::get_tables_name_and_type— wrapped the entire table+view iteration in onetry/except. Onefqn.build()failure ended the generator, so good tables yielded after the bad one were silently skipped.topology_runner.py::_process_stage— caught onlyValueError, so anAPIErrorfromget_by_name(when the server'squoteNamerejected a bad FQN) halted the whole stage and skipped every remaining entity.What changed
Each site is now per-entity-isolated: a single bad entry is logged at WARNING and skipped; the rest of the schema continues. Per-entity failures do not escalate to
status.failed— they stay as workflow warnings, so a known-noisy table the user has already filtered out doesn't tripWorkflowExecutionErroron every run.snowflake/utils.py:408-417— per-rowtry/exceptin_get_schema_columns.snowflake/metadata.py:630-647— per-tabletry/exceptaround thefqn.buildfor each deleted entry.common_db_source.py:373-400/412-439— per-iterationtry/exceptinside the table and view loops (logs WARNING and continues).topology_runner.py:301-336— broadenedexcept ValueErrortoexcept Exception; new_entity_request_labelhelper produces a useful entity name for the warning log.The original Python
quote_nameregex is unchanged — names with embedded newlines still raiseValueError, matching the OM server's contract. The defensive sites above catch the rejection and let valid entities flow through.Tests
New unit tests for each of the four fault-isolation sites:
tests/unit/topology/database/test_snowflake.py—SnowflakeBadNameIsolationTest::test_get_schema_columns_skips_invalid_table_name,test_get_table_names_skips_deleted_with_invalid_nametests/unit/topology/test_common_db_source_isolation.py(new file) —test_get_tables_name_and_type_isolates_failed_table,test_get_tables_name_and_type_isolates_failed_view,test_get_tables_name_and_type_handles_listing_failuretests/unit/topology/test_runner.py—PerEntityIsolationTest::test_process_stage_isolates_per_entity_failure,test_process_stage_handles_entity_without_name,test_entity_request_label_handles_various_shapestests/unit/test_fqn.py—test_quote_name_rejects_newline(flipped from a pass-through assertion to confirmquote_namestill rejects newlines, matching the server's behavior; defensive layers handle the fallout downstream).I verified the regression-catching property of these tests by temporarily reverting each fix and confirming the corresponding test fails. All 48 tests in this file set pass with the fixes in place.
Note: the separate incremental dedup bug filed as #28053 is not addressed in this PR — it's a different latent issue independent of the bad-name handling.
