What is ODF and where is it documented?

We have installed 11.7 on AIX. One of our firsts test was to setup IA and IMAM and run data quality and column analysis from the thin client. At first it failed and gave a generic "Failed" error and hovering over that revealed some gibberish. We found in the SystemOut.log file complaints about ODF.
It turned out we had previously killed a stalled ODF process on the server which prevented the analysis from running. NOTE: This ODF process did not exist in version 11.3, 11.5, or prior versions, which was the second reason we had killed it. Once we started it up again, IA was happy.
This appears to be a new, dependent process in 11.7 but I haven't found any documentation about it yet. Is it documented anywhere? The only clue I got so far is from a file on the server under <server_path>...../ASBNode/bin/../conf/odf.properties
It starts of with some comments like this:
# Properties for the ODF engine tier daemon
# Point this to where zookeeper is installed.
One more thing to add is that this new process is not listed on the Operations Console's Engine Status section. If this process is as important as it appears to be then it probably needs to be more visible and be monitored.
