/**
* Interface for defining a Drill format plugin.
*
* Format plugins are contained within storage plugins to describe particular
* data formats available in a given storage system. These formats are not
* necessarily tied to how the data is stored. One current use of this
* abstraction is describing different file formats like CSV and JSON that
* can be stored in a filesystem. Some storage systems like databases may only
* have a single format in which the data is actually stored. This interface
* enables flexibility for configuring the different data formats that will
* live under one storage system. The storage systems themselves are described
* in {@see StoragePluginConfig}s.
