Provide optional stricness for SummingCombiner
----------------------------------------------
Key: ACCUMULO-319
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-319
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: John Vines
Fix For: 1.4.0
Currently the summing combiner will throw an error on a format exception. This
is great for high precision combining to ensure that all data is included.
However, there is a potential use case for people who just want data combined
and do not want a wrench thrown in the system for a bad value. Rather then
having to write a whole different combiner, we should add a configuration
option to allow lossy combining which does not take into account bad value.
