Report view tree of dependencies

[ymarcon]

Currently a view only reports the tables from which it directly depends on. It would be good to have all the hierarchy (view depends on a view that depends on a view etc.) ascending and descending.

The corresponding web service would be:

GET /datasource/xxx/view/yyy/tree

And the tree of dependencies DTO would look like:

message ViewNodeDto {
  required string name = 1;
  required string datasource = 2;
  optional bool inner = 3;
  repeated ViewNodeDto parent = 4;
  repeated ViewNodeDto child = 5;
}

It would be good to display it as a "UML" graph using this JS library for instance:

We could also do this through R (https://github.com/javierluraschi/nomnoml) as a plugin.

This also looks interesting and also has a R support:: http://js.cytoscape.org/
