[FLINK-1964] Reimplement TwitterSource
The TwitterSource was not really usable before because it expected the user
to pass the path to a properties file, which is accessible on all worker nodes.
Also, the Twitter example was not working because classes were missing.
I reimplemented the source and removed a lot of duplicate code.
The PR also addresses https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3407

> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Streaming
> Affects Versions: 0.9
> Reporter: Robert Metzger
> Assignee: Carlos Curotto
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: starter
>
> The twitter connector is very hard to use on a cluster because it expects the
> property file to be present on all nodes.
> It would be much easier to ask the user to pass a Properties object
> immediately.
> Also, the javadoc of the class stops in the middle of the sentence.
> It was not obvious to me how the two examples TwitterStreaming and
> TwitterTopology differ. Also, there is a third TwitterStream example in the
> streaming examples.
> The documentation of the Twitter source refers to the non existent
> TwitterLocal class.
