-----------------------------------------

Hello everybody. I am glad to say that i finished the most tedious activities
in my university. So from now, implementation of this task is my priority.
I am currently working on creating different matrix and vector formats.

You can checkout current code from my github repository.
https://github.com/ParafeniukMikalaj/gsoc-hama/
Actually changes related to this task were placed in examples.linearalgebra package:
https://github.com/ParafeniukMikalaj/gsoc-hama/tree/trunk/examples/src/main/java/org/apache/hama/examples/linearalgebra

Recently I have created some abstract interfaces and classes for supporting different 
matrix formats. Could anyone make a review and give a feedback? I know that the amount of code is
not to big, but I think the earlier I'll receive feedback, the earlier I'll correct the code. 
In the nearest future i plan to implement formats for dense matrices and vectors and one format
for sparse matrices and vectors.
Also I have a set of questions:
1) Is using of reflection is a good idea to exploit internals of matrix format in time of convertion?
Or it could be implemented simpler?
2) I want to use HamaConfiguration class to register some custom converters between some
matrix formats. Could anyone give me a starting point, where I can learn how Hadoop's configuration
works?
