Now the output key of the mapper is a TextPair

Scrapped the non-working generics code, and rewrote WritableTuple2 by correctly using GenericWritable
(but the compareTo of GenericType cannot work this way)

Applied my fix for the WritableComparable java generics problem from
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5337336/create-a-generic-class-with-wildcard-types-and-multiple-constructors/5543096
unfortunately, BinaryComparable is not a Writable, and together with the fact that Text isn't
strictly Comparable with itself, it's impossible to instantiate the WritableComparable tuple

Converted the simple mapreduce program to be able to create an index of documents
Waited to commit until I got a barebone working version of the indexer
Unfortunately, after days of struggling, this is still not the case...
Scala seems quite unfit to integrate with somewhat complex Java libraries like the Hadoop ones
(especially when involving the use of generics, also considering that before 2 weeks ago I never touched Scala before)

Fixed problems with the scala code: the signature of the mapper and reducer
wasn't matching with the superclass, and thus wasn't overriding the methods
(and the default mapper & reducer is the identity, thus requiring different types in output)
Dropped old commented code

Switched from Java to Scala
Converted the example Hadoop Test to Scala
This also means that the pom.xml was completely rewritten
(Due to the unhelpful errors, mangled downloads in the repository and
the old maven-eclipse plugin being unaware of scala, transitioning the project
from Java to Scala with Maven was quite painful)

Added pom.xml for building with maven3
(i'm evaluating it with this project, but i'm not sure if i'll stick with it:
i kinda find other tools more appealing... in the meanwhile i'll roll with maven)

First test (taken from cloud9 libraries simple examples)
