Description

Currently Falcon has dependency APIs which lists the entity dependencies.
i.e. A dependency of a process lists all the input and output feeds and corresponding clusters.

With the new process DAG API, it should generate .DOT file which can be easily converted to visual graph.

All the processes are linked by the configured feeds.
EX: If process A generates feeds 1,2 and feed 1 is consumed by process B and 2 by process C respectively, then the .DOT file should generate adjacency matrix.
Graph start{
A -> B
A -> C
..
..
B->D
D->E
}

Unless we build dashboard this API will be handy for users.
