We're moving to Apache, and the Highcharts license is not compatible with
ours so we're removing Highcharts in favor of NVD3, and attempt to keep the
charting application working where possible. *Note that some chart types
that won't be supported anymore (heatmaps, parallel coordinates) and some
may behave differently as they did in the past.*

Since the small charting application located under "Data Profiling ->
Chart" is peripheral to Airflow, this change is not meant to be fully
compatible. For much better charting and long term support, check out
Airbnb's Caravel.
https://github.com/airbnb/caravel

If you'd like to test the library replacement before it hits, please pull
that branch and try it on your charts and provide feedback on the PR here:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-airflow/pull/1469

As a more general topic, who uses the "Data Profiling" features and how? Is
this over the line of what Airflow should take on, or is it an area we
should keep pushing and growing? I'm curious to hear feedback from the
community on this topic!
