Dual streaming and batch engine

Description: Natively support both blocking and pipelined mode of execution for both batch (DataSet) and stream (DataStream) programs. Batch (DataSet) programs will be able to use a combination of blocking and pipelining. Stream (DataStream) programs will use pipelining. Interactive programs (programs that bring back results to the client) will use blocking.
