Upgraded APIs: Flink (0.8) and HBase (0.98.x) + profiles

I had to create an hadoop.core.version variable to manage the fact that cloudera has different versions for hadoop-core and hadoop-common..
Just checked. Result should be a Hadoop data type which should be natively handled by Flink (not as a generic Object which is done via Avro). 
So, Flink should be capable of handling ``Result``. Might be a problem with Flink's internal type handling.
