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..
Hmm, that sounds like a bug in Flink. 
The ``Configuration`` passed to ``InputFormats`` in ``configure()`` should not be empty.
Do you want to create a JIRA issue for the bug you found?
