File connector

The File connector is a implementation used for writing and reading from a file.

This is a basic implementation with only a index on primary key.

Advice is to limit the file-size to a maximum of 1.000.000 entries. This could be optimized in the future by using a RandomAccessFile.

The id record is always supposed to be first and the very first line is to be used as the header
