Title: Remove Hadoop object cloning and warn users making Hadoop RDD's.

The code introduced in #359 used Hadoop's WritableUtils.clone() to
duplicate objects when reading from Hadoop files. Some users have
reported exceptions when cloning data in various file formats,
including Avro and another custom format.

This patch removes that functionality to ensure stability for the
0.9 release. Instead, it puts a clear warning in the documentation
that copying may be necessary for Hadoop data sets.
