Connector Feature Support

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

Symphony queries each connector to better understand its data store's capabilities and behavior. The connector's response describes to Symphony the Symphony features that the connector and the data store can support and any limitations to that support. It identifies the type of data requests that the connector and its data store can fulfill.
