Driver Registry

dbc installs drivers from a "driver registry" which is an internet-accessible index of installable ADBC driver packages. Currently, dbc supports a single driver registry which is located at https://dbc-cdn.columnar.tech and is managed by Columnar.

When you run a command like dbc search or dbc install, dbc gets information about the drivers that are available in the driver registry by downloading index.yaml from https://dbc-cdn.columnar.tech or using a cached copy.
