Enable Manta APIs to retrieve Nodes Lineage at the same Level and Depth as Flow Viewer

We have noticed that the Manta APIs do not have a capability to retrieve the nodes lineage at the same level and depth as we see it in the Flow Viewer. This is adversely impacting the teams that intend to fetch lineage information programmatically...

Analyze Hive transformation logic and export to Alation
