Support export of Matillion lineage from Manta to Alation

Why is it useful ?

Alation at the enterprise is the application for viewing all catalog and metadata across the enterprise.

Lineage from Manta is exported to Alation to build the catalog.

Who would benefit from it ?

Any LOB at the bank looking to view lineage on reports and artifacts.

How it should work ?

Integration from Manta to Alation should be supported to extract lineage derived from Matillion ETL jobs and export the same to Alation

Interface and functionality should be similar to the technologies (Tableau, Power BI, etc) currently supported by Manta Flow to export to a third-party system like Alation.

    Update: Update from Caroline F on March 25: There are no plans to support export of Matillion to Alation in legacy Manta.  Therefore let this feature request be applied to Unified Lineage.
