+### Summary
+Added output configuration, that can be defined in the scenario `.json` file, that allows to select which columns are to be included in the raw oputput files `host.parquet`, `server.parquet` and `service.parquet`.
+
+### Columns
+The 'default' columns are defined in `DfltHostExportcolumns`, `DfltServerExportColumns` and `DfltServiceExportColumns`. Any number of additional columns can be definied anywhere (`ExportColumn<Exportable>`) and it is going to be deserializable as long as it is loaded by the jvm.
+
+### Deserialization
+Each `ExportColumn` has a `Regex`, used for deserialization. If no custom regex is provided, the default one is used. The default regex matches the column name in case-insensitive manner, either with `_` as in the name or with ` ` (blank space).
+
+###### E.g.:  
+***column name*** = "cpu\_count"  
+***default column regex*** = "\\s*(?:cpu_count|cpu count)\\s*" (case insensitive)   
+***matches*** = "cpu\_count", "cpu count", "CpU/_cOuNt" etc.
+
+### JSON Schema
+```json
+// scenario.json
+{
+	...
+	"computeExportConfig": {
+		"type": "object",
+		"properties": {
+			"hostExportColumns": { "type": "array" }, 
+			"serverExportColumns": { "type": "array" } ,
+			"serviceExportColumns": { "type": "array" } ,
+			"required": [ /* NONE REQUIRED */ ]
+		}
+	},
+	...
+	"required": [
+		...
+		// NOT REQUIRED
+	]
+}
+```
+
+&nbsp;  
+###### Bad Formatting Cases
+- If a column name (and type) does not match any deserializable column, the entry is ignored and error message is logged.
+- If an empty list of columns is provided or those that are provided were not deserializable, then all loaded columns for that `Exportable` are used, and a warning message is logged.
+- If no list is provided, then all loaded columns for that `Exportable` are used.
+
+
+### Example
+
+```json
+// scenario.json
+{
+	...
+	"computeExportConfig": {
+		"hostExportColumns": ["timestamp", "timestamp_absolute", "invalid-entry1", "guests_invalid"],
+		"serverExportColumns": ["invalid-entry2"],
+		"serviceExportColumns": ["timestamp", "servers_active", "servers_pending"]
+	},
+	...
+```
+
+```json
+// console output
+10:51:56.561 [ERROR] ColListSerializer - no match found for column "invalid-entry1", ignoring...
+10:51:56.563 [ERROR] ColListSerializer - no match found for column "invalid-entry2", ignoring...
+10:51:56.564 [WARN] ComputeExportConfig - deserialized list of export columns for exportable ServerTableReader produced empty list, falling back to all loaded columns
+10:51:56.584 [INFO] ScenariosSpec - 
+| === Compute Export Config ===
+| Host columns    : timestamp, timestamp_absolute, guests_invalid
+| Server columns  : timestamp, timestamp_absolute, server_id, server_name, cpu_count, mem_capacity, cpu_limit, cpu_time_active, cpu_time_idle, cpu_time_steal, cpu_time_lost, uptime, downtime, provision_time, boot_time, boot_time_absolute
+| Service columns : timestamp, servers_active, servers_pending
