If we change the `checkCombinability` method to return a boolean instead of
setting `this.combinable` directly, we can also use it here.
> CombineFunction interface not respected

> Key: FLINK-3254
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3254
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: DataSet API
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0, 0.10.1
> Reporter: Fabian Hueske
> Assignee: Kostas
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 1.0.0
>
>
> The DataSet API offers a {{CombineFunction}} interface, which differs from
> the {{GroupCombineFunction}} interface by being restricted to return a single
> value instead of returning arbitrary many values through a {{Collector}}.
> The JavaDocs of the {{GroupCombineFunction}} point to the {{CombineFunction}}
> interface, advertising it as more efficient.
> However, the {{CombineFunction}} interface is nor respected by Flink, i.e., a
> {{GroupReduceFunction}} that implements this interface is executed without
> leveraging the combine method.
