TINKERPOP-1525 Avoid starting VP worker iterations that never end SparkExecutor.executeVertexProgramIteration was written in such a way that an empty RDD partition would cause it to invoke VertexProgram.workerIterationStart without ever invoking VertexProgram.workerIterationEnd. This seems like a contract violation. I have at least one VP that relies on workerIterationStart|End to allocate and release resources. Failing to invoke End like this causes a leak in that VP, as it would for any VP that uses that resource management pattern.
