hadoopcompatibility: Implementations of basic programming interfaces and...

... a basic driver.

* wrappers for Mapper, Reducer and Combiner (as a local Reducer) on the new Java API
* wrapper for OutputCollector
* wrappers for Partitioner, values comparator.
* a driver making it posible to run unmonitored (so far)  Hadoop jobs on Flink.
* tests and variations of the WordCount driver exclusively in Hadoop.

No, I am suggesting to throw an exception instead of calling the reduce method.

The code should not be executed anyways if combinable is not set to true. 
However, if it (for any reason) happens, it is better to throw a meaningful exception than to call the Reduce function and silently continue with the program.
