Inherited Descriptions for Data Dictionary

[mfalkenham]

The metadata query currently only returns direct descriptions on data sources. If a column description is inherited from an upstream table (a common use of the metadata catalog) then it will not appear in the data dictionary. In the metadata API this object is called the descriptionInherited. Example query:

{
datasources{
datasource_name:name
fields{
name
description
descriptionInherited {
value
}
}
}
}

Is it possible to return the inherited description if the regular description does not exist?
