Flattened Hierarchy

After this file is loaded into the datastore, a DLC Topic will trigger some further processing that will flatten the hierarchy. The tree is walked and each node is assigned a level in the LegalEntityHierarchy hierarchy. The leaf nodes of the tree become the legal entities in the LegalEntity hierarchy, and each trade is mapped to a legal entity.
