We currently have two entities in sqoop that expose configs, connector and driver ( after it was renamed from framework-driver  in SQOOP-1498 ). Driver is not persisted in the repository like the various connectors. The proposal is to change this and treat both of them as configurable entities in the sqoop repository. 

...

• Do not use "null" as an primary key indicator to identify Driver
• Connectors and Drivers expose configs and hence both should be in one table and they can uniquely identified by the primary key
• Make sure the driver and its config upgrade works
• Remove DIRECTION field  out of SQ_CONFIG, since it is not applicable to all configurable.  For instance Driver has no DIRECTION. Connectors have DIRECTION and it should be only relevant to connectors. 

Design & Implementation Details

Note: The work related to removing DIRECTION field out of config was done in a separate ticket after this proposal.
