Pipelet GetNearestStores

This pipelet gets the list of stores, for the current site, that are within a configured distance of a location on the earth. The stores and their distance from the specified location are returned as a Map of Store objects to doubles. The distance is interpreted either in miles or kilometers depending on the "DistanceUnit" input or configuration parameter. The location can be specified by either directly providing a latitude/longitude coordinate pair or by providing a country and a postal code: * If a postal code is passed, the pipelet looks in the system's geolocation mappings to find the coordinates for this postal code. If no matching geolocation is found, the pipelet will return an empty list of stores. If a match is found then the name of the city and the state will be stored in the pipeline dictionary in addition to the map of stores. * If coordinates are passed, the values for country and postal code are ignored. * If neither of the two input pairs is provided the pipelet will throw an exception.
