@pferrel: I agree, and that would be possible with a general metadata
registry server which would be the next step. The reason I started by removing
manifest.json is because the previous database-dependent build was a roadblock
for PredictionIO in PaaS platforms such as Heroku.
Information in engine.json is written during `pio train` as engineInstance.
