public interface DataFileHandler

This interface is the super-interface for all interfaces that are work on files of a specific DataFileType. Implementors of this interface should extend the AbstractDataFileHandler class since we may add more methods in the future. New methods will get default implementations in the AbstractDataFileHandler class.
