profile_file is unspecified

In ~/twitter-feature-extractor/src/tfx/database.py, the class TextFile requires a path to "profile_file". However, this has not been specified in usage manual. I was wondering where should I specify that?

If you would like to use the TextFile input for the TFX, you will have to provide a .tsv file with profile information for the users whose tweets you are extracting. The structure of that file has to be:

user_id, username, json_source, timestamp, label (classification)

The json_source value is the JSON returned by the Twitter REST API: https://dev.twitter.com/overview/api/users.
