SPI Changes
-----------

* Allow connectors to provide view definitions. ``ConnectorViewDefinition`` now contains
  the real view definition rather than an opaque blob. Connectors that support view storage
  can use the JSON representation of that class as a stable storage format. The JSON
  representation is the same as the previous opaque blob, thus all existing view
  definitions will continue to work. (:issue:`976`)
* Add ``getView()`` method to ``ConnectorMetadata`` as a replacement for ``getViews()``.
  The ``getViews()`` method now exists only as an optional method for connectors that
  can efficiently support bulk retrieval of views and has a different signature. (:issue:`976`)

.. note::

    These are backwards incompatible changes with the previous SPI.
    If you have written a connector that supports views, you will
    need to update your code before deploying this release.
