Connector (vertigo-core 3.4.0 API)

All Superinterfaces:

CoreComponent
```
public interface Connector<C>
extends CoreComponent
```
A connector is a particular core-component. A connector bridge to dedicated library or product but with no purpose in mind. A connector is only used by plugins to implement specific functions via the dedicated library. All connectors MUST BE thread safe. Connectors are singletons. As a connector is a core-component, it can own component's behaviors such as Activeable.

    A connector might need to define it's name to be findable by plugin and to differentiate multiple instance of the same connector. For example, I know that my plugin needs a connection to the "secondary" database. "main" is the default but connector can have a different strategy, for example via a @ParamValue parameter in it's constuctor
    
    Returns:
    
    the name of the connector
  - getClient
```
C getClient()
