[keycloak-dev] generic model migration

[Marek Posolda]

TBH, I am not sure if it's the way to go...

The problem is that implementation like MigrationTo1_2_0_RC1 is directly 
using Model API. This can be problematic IMO because when your DB is in 
old version and you call the model operation like:

realm.getClientNameMap().get(Constants.BROKER_SERVICE_CLIENT_ID);

it could fail as source code is in newest version and hence JPA 
implementation expects the newest DB schema and fields in DB. But 
database is in old version and doesn't yet have those fields. That's why 
it seems to me that only stable way of migration is really the "native" 
calling of DB operations, which sucks but should work :-\
