+**Notes**: Metadata identifies the Java class that provides field
definitions in the relation. OutputFormat identifies the file format for which
a specific profile is optimized. While the built-in `Hive*` profiles provide
Metadata and OutputFormat classes, most profiles will have no need to implement
or specify these classes.

@lisakowen you are right. outputFormat is a property intended for
developers creating custom plugins/profiles. End users who only wish to use any
of the existing profiles don't have to know about this.
