    Support basic functionality with GroupByKey and ParDo.
    
    Added support for grouping operations.
    
    Added checkpointDir option, using it before execution.
    
    Support Accumulator recovery from checkpoint.
    
    Streaming tests should use JUnit's TemporaryFolder Rule for checkpoint directory.
    
    Support combine optimizations.
    
    Support durable sideInput via Broadcast.
    
    Branches in the pipeline are either Bounded or Unbounded and should be handles so.
    
    Handle flatten/union of Bouned/Unbounded RDD/DStream.
    
    JavaDoc
    
    Rebased on master.
    
    Reuse functionality between batch and streaming translators
    
    Better implementation of streaming/batch pipeline-branch translation.
    
    Move group/combine functions to their own wrapping class.

> For streaming applications, Spark provides a checkpoint mechanism useful for stateful processing and driver failures. See: https://spark.apache.org/docs/1.6.2/streaming-programming-guide.html#checkpointing
> This requires the "lambdas", or the content of DStream/RDD functions to be Serializable - currently, the runner a lot of the translation work in streaming to the batch translator, which can no longer be the case because it passes along non-serializables.
> This also requires wrapping the creation of the streaming application's graph in a "getOrCreate" manner. See: https://spark.apache.org/docs/1.6.2/streaming-programming-guide.html#how-to-configure-checkpointing
> Another limitation is the need to wrap Accumulators and Broadcast variables in Singletons in order for them to be re-created once stale after recovery.
> This work is a prerequisite to support PerKey workflows, which will be support via Spark's stateful operators such as mapWithState.
