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..
That worked like a charm :)
So now the only thing left out is the GenericTableOutputFormat..does it need to implement  OutputFormat\<Tuple2\<ImmutableBytesWritable, Result\>\>? In that case, how could writeRecord(Tuple2\<ImmutableBytesWritable, Result\> record) be implemented?
