Binish A.R commented on FALCON-265:
-----------------------------------
I am looking more at a cmdline solution.
Right now, the dependency option displays dependent feed, but it does not
mention whether its an input or output dependency. I am looking at some switch
which will let me choose input or output dependency and list only the relevant
one. For instance, consider process_A consuming feed_A1 and feed_A2 and
generating feed_B as output.
{quote}
$ falcon entity -type feed -name feed_A1 -dependency -deptype input
(process) process_A
$ falon entity -type process -name process_A -dependency
(input_feeds) feed_A1, feed_A2
(output_feeds) feed_B

FALCON-256 speaks about generating DOT files for graphviz consumption, may not
be helpful in production where we don't have a xserver running.

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: general
> Reporter: Binish A.R
>
> Can we have an option to reverse lookup an entityspecification?
> For instance,
> 1. Given a path find the corresponding feed definition.
> 2. Given an input feed name, list the corresponding processes.
> Note that [2] is not the same as -dependency option, since depedency option
> list all dependencies, including both input and output.
