Just like we talked about Filter and InputCreate, they are used by biopipe
only, and share some feature such as 1) each of them has a specific method
that doing the work the module name imply. 2) because of 1), there are no
table, like filter_method, or input_create_method, needed.

Since Converter is a sibling of the above two, I think it is better to
develop in the style as others.

Shawn, have you re-thought the conceptually containing relationship between
data monger, filter, input create, converter and iohandler?
