Disclosure: I am part of the DataHub team at LinkedIn
There have been a number of recent open source offerings in this space, one of them being DataHub [1] which is a product of our evolution in the metadata space over the years.
An important lesson we learnt as part of this evolution is that monolithic/centralized architecture just doesn't scale with new data and users. Individual teams/owners must have the power and flexibility to decide what they care about while still being able to tap into the global metadata.
