Description

Search query for a trait results in GUID and type. The query response can also include entity name.

1. Currently an API request querying for trait results in GUID and typename.

For example:

curl 'http://52.27.169.250:3172/api/atlas/discovery/search?query=Dimension' -H 'Accept: application/json, text/plain, */*' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, sdch' -H 'Referer: http://52.27.169.250:3172/' -H 'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.8' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/46.0.2490.80 Safari/537.36' --compressed | python -m json.tool

    ]

2. With UI, the same query shows GUID and type. From an user's perspective, GUID does not make sense. It should return an entity name also. Attaching snapshot for reference.

For this issue, fix is needed on both backend and UI
