Description

In the same way as the new DBCP Lookup Service, create lookup services for RecordSetWriter and RecordReader.

This will help to make flows much more generic, and allow for some very flexible processors.

Example: A processor like PutDatabaseRecord will be able to push to any database in any readable record format from a single processor by configuring everything through the lookup services.

Example: ConvertRecord will be able to convert from any number of various input formats to a constant output format by using the RecordReader Lookup, and a fixed RecordSetWriter.
