### Lineage File Format

The lineage source file should be a `.yml` file with the following top-level keys:

**version**: the version of lineage file config the config conforms to. Currently, the only version released
is `1`.

**lineage**: the top level key of the lineage file containing a list of **EntityNodeConfig** objects

**EntityNodeConfig**:

- **entity**: **EntityConfig** object
- **upstream**: (optional) list of child **EntityNodeConfig** objects

**EntityConfig**:

- **name** : name of the entity
- **type**: type of the entity (only `dataset` is supported as of now)
- **env**: the environment of this entity. Should match the values in the
  table [here](https://datahubproject.io/docs/graphql/enums/#fabrictype)
- **platform**: a valid platform like kafka, snowflake, etc..
- **platform_instance**: optional string specifying the platform instance of this entity
