Madhan Neethiraj resolved ATLAS-377.
------------------------------------
    Resolution: Abandoned

Atlas UI finds all super-types of a given type from the typedefs obtained from the server, and uses this info to render schema tab contents appropriately.

> Currently, Atlas type API returns only the immediate super-type of a type. In some scenarios, it would be beneficial to also know if this type is a descendant of some type. For e.g. the Schema API only makes sense for entities of type DataSet. Given this, a UI can check if a type of an entity is descending from a DataSet and based on that choose to make or suppress the schema API call. To support this, all super types of a type should be returned in the result of the type API.
