str is much efficient than unicode (both CPU and memory), it'e better to use str in textFileRDD. In order to keep compatibility, use unicode by default. (Maybe change it in the future).

use_unicode=True:

52b4e45 [Chris Cope] [SPARK-2140] Updating heap memory calculation for YARN stable and alpha.

LogicalPlan contains a ‘resolved’ attribute indicating that all of its execution requirements have been resolved. This attribute is not checked before query execution. The analyzer contains a step to check that all Expressions are resolved, but this is not equivalent to checking all LogicalPlans. In particular, the Union plan’s implementation of ‘resolved’ verifies that the types of its children’s columns are compatible. Because the analyzer does not check that a Union plan is resolved, it is possible to execute a Union plan that outputs different types in the same column.  See SPARK-2781 for an example.

This patch adds two checks to the analyzer’s CheckResolution rule. First, each logical plan is checked to see if it is not resolved despite its children being resolved. This allows the ‘problem’ unresolved plan to be included in the TreeNodeException for reporting. Then as a backstop the root plan is checked to see if it is resolved, which recursively checks that the entire plan tree is resolved. Note that the resolved attribute is implemented recursively, and this patch also explicitly checks the resolved attribute on each logical plan in the tree. I assume the query plan trees will not be large enough for this redundant checking to meaningfully impact performance.

Because this patch starts validating that LogicalPlans are resolved before execution, I had to fix some cases where unresolved plans were passing through the analyzer as part of the implementation of the hive query system. In particular, HiveContext applies the CreateTables and PreInsertionCasts, and ExtractPythonUdfs rules manually after the analyzer runs. I moved these rules to the analyzer stage (for hive queries only), in the process completing a code TODO indicating the rules should be moved to the analyzer.

It’s worth noting that moving the CreateTables rule means introducing an analyzer rule with a significant side effect - in this case the side effect is creating a hive table. The rule will only attempt to create a table once even if its batch is executed multiple times, because it converts the InsertIntoCreatedTable plan it matches against into an InsertIntoTable. Additionally, these hive rules must be added to the Resolution batch rather than as a separate batch because hive rules rules may be needed to resolve non-root nodes, leaving the root to be resolved on a subsequent batch iteration. For example, the hive compatibility test auto_smb_mapjoin_14, and others, make use of a query plan where the root is a Union and its children are each a hive InsertIntoTable.

Mixing the custom hive rules with standard analyzer rules initially resulted in an additional failure because of policy differences between spark sql and hive when casting a boolean to a string. Hive casts booleans to strings as “true” / “false” while spark sql casts booleans to strings as “1” / “0” (causing the cast1.q test to fail). This behavior is a result of the BooleanCasts rule in HiveTypeCoercion.scala, and from looking at the implementation of BooleanCasts I think converting to to “1”/“0” is potentially a programming mistake. (If the BooleanCasts rule is disabled, casting produces “true”/“false” instead.) I believe “true” / “false” should be the behavior for spark sql - I changed the behavior so bools are converted to “true”/“false” to be consistent with hive, and none of the existing spark tests failed.

Finally, in some initial testing with hive it appears that an implicit type coercion of boolean to string results in a lowercase string, e.g. CONCAT( TRUE, “” ) -> “true” while an explicit cast produces an all caps string, e.g. CAST( TRUE AS STRING ) -> “TRUE”.  The change I’ve made just converts to lowercase strings in all cases.  I believe it is at least more correct than the existing spark sql implementation where all Cast expressions become “1” / “0”.

[SPARK-2207][SPARK-3272][MLLib]Add minimum information gain and minimum instances per node as training parameters for decision tree.

These two parameters can act as early stop rules to do pre-pruning. When a split cause cause left or right child to have less than `minInstancesPerNode` or has less information gain than `minInfoGain`, current node will not be split by this split.

When there is no possible splits that satisfy requirements, there is no useful information gain stats, but we still need to calculate the predict value for current node. So I separated calculation of predict from calculation of information gain, which can also save computation when the number of possible splits is large. Please see [SPARK-3272](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-3272) for more details.

First let me write down the current `projections` grammar of spark sql:

    expression                : orExpression
    orExpression              : andExpression {"or" andExpression}
    andExpression             : comparisonExpression {"and" comparisonExpression}
    comparisonExpression      : termExpression | termExpression "=" termExpression | termExpression ">" termExpression | ...
    termExpression            : productExpression {"+"|"-" productExpression}
    productExpression         : baseExpression {"*"|"/"|"%" baseExpression}
    baseExpression            : expression "[" expression "]" | ... | ident | ...
    ident                     : identChar {identChar | digit} | delimiters | ...
    identChar                 : letter | "_" | "."
    delimiters                : "," | ";" | "(" | ")" | "[" | "]" | ...
    projection                : expression [["AS"] ident]
    projections               : projection { "," projection}

For something like `a.b.c[1]`, it will be parsed as:
<img src="http://img51.imgspice.com/i/03008/4iltjsnqgmtt_t.jpg" border=0>
But for something like `a[1].b`, the current grammar can't parse it correctly.
A simple solution is written in `ParquetQuerySuite#NestedSqlParser`, changed grammars are:

    delimiters                : "." | "," | ";" | "(" | ")" | "[" | "]" | ...
    identChar                 : letter | "_"
    baseExpression            : expression "[" expression "]" | expression "." ident | ... | ident | ...
This works well, but can't cover some corner case like `select t.a.b from table as t`:
<img src="http://img51.imgspice.com/i/03008/v2iau3hoxoxg_t.jpg" border=0>
`t.a.b` parsed as `GetField(GetField(UnResolved("t"), "a"), "b")` instead of `GetField(UnResolved("t.a"), "b")` using this new grammar.
However, we can't resolve `t` as it's not a filed, but the whole table.(if we could do this, then `select t from table as t` is legal, which is unexpected)
My solution is:

    dotExpressionHeader       : ident "." ident
    baseExpression            : expression "[" expression "]" | expression "." ident | ... | dotExpressionHeader  | ident | ...
I passed all test cases under sql locally and add a more complex case.
"arrayOfStruct.field1 to access all values of field1" is not supported yet. Since this PR has changed a lot of code, I will open another PR for it.
I'm not familiar with the latter optimize phase, please correct me if I missed something.

Introduces a LOADING -> RUNNING ApplicationState transition and prevents Master from removing an Application with RUNNING Executors.

Two basic changes: 1) Instead of allowing MAX_NUM_RETRY abnormal Executor exits over the entire lifetime of the Application, allow that many since any Executor successfully began running the Application; 2) Don't remove the Application while Master still thinks that there are RUNNING Executors.

This should be fine as long as the ApplicationInfo doesn't believe any Executors are forever RUNNING when they are not.  I think that any non-RUNNING Executors will eventually no longer be RUNNING in Master's accounting, but another set of eyes should confirm that.  This PR also doesn't try to detect which nodes have gone rogue or to kill off bad Workers, so repeatedly failing Executors will continue to fail and fill up log files with failure reports as long as the Application keeps running.

This pull request creates a new BlockTransferService interface for block fetch/upload and refactors the existing ConnectionManager to implement BlockTransferService (NioBlockTransferService).

Most of the changes are simply moving code around. The main class to inspect is ShuffleBlockFetcherIterator.

Review guide:
- Most of the ConnectionManager code is now in network.cm package
- ManagedBuffer is a new buffer abstraction backed by several different implementations (file segment, nio ByteBuffer, Netty ByteBuf)
- BlockTransferService is the main internal interface introduced in this PR
- NioBlockTransferService implements BlockTransferService and replaces the old BlockManagerWorker
- ShuffleBlockFetcherIterator replaces the told BlockFetcherIterator to use the new interface

TODOs that should be separate PRs:
- Implement NettyBlockTransferService
- Finalize the API/semantics for ManagedBuffer.release()

Closes #2229 from ScrapCodes/SPARK-3337/quoting-shell-scripts and squashes the following commits:

d4ad660 [Prashant Sharma] SPARK-3337 Paranoid quoting in shell to allow install dirs with spaces within.

Summary:
1. Variable numBins for each feature [SPARK-3043]
2. Reduced data reshaping in aggregation [SPARK-3043]
3. Choose ordering for ordered categorical features adaptively [SPARK-3156]
4. Changed nodes to use 1-indexing [SPARK-3086]
5. Small clean-ups

Note: This PR looks bigger than it is since I moved several functions from inside findBestSplitsPerGroup to outside of it (to make it clear what was being serialized in the aggregation).

Speedups: This update helps most when many features use few bins but a few features use many bins.  Some example results on speedups with 2M examples, 3.5K features (15-worker EC2 cluster):
* Example where old code was reasonably efficient (1/2 continuous, 1/4 binary, 1/4 20-category): 164.813 --> 116.491 sec
* Example where old code wasted many bins (1/10 continuous, 81/100 binary, 9/100 20-category): 128.701 --> 39.334 sec

Details:

(1) Variable numBins for each feature [SPARK-3043]

DecisionTreeMetadata now computes a variable numBins for each feature.  It also tracks numSplits.

(2) Reduced data reshaping in aggregation [SPARK-3043]

Added DTStatsAggregator, a wrapper around the aggregate statistics array for easy but efficient indexing.
* Added ImpurityAggregator and ImpurityCalculator classes, to make DecisionTree code more oblivious to the type of impurity.
* Design note: I originally tried creating Impurity classes which stored data and storing the aggregates in an Array[Array[Array[Impurity]]].  However, this led to significant slowdowns, perhaps because of overhead in creating so many objects.

The aggregate statistics are never reshaped, and cumulative sums are computed in-place.

Updated the layout of aggregation functions.  The update simplifies things by (1) dividing features into ordered/unordered (instead of ordered/unordered/continuous) and (2) making use of the DTStatsAggregator for indexing.
For this update, the following functions were refactored:
* updateBinForOrderedFeature
* updateBinForUnorderedFeature
* binaryOrNotCategoricalBinSeqOp
* multiclassWithCategoricalBinSeqOp
* regressionBinSeqOp
The above 5 functions were replaced with:
* orderedBinSeqOp
* someUnorderedBinSeqOp

Other changes:
* calculateGainForSplit now treats all feature types the same way.
* Eliminated extractLeftRightNodeAggregates.

(3) Choose ordering for ordered categorical features adaptively [SPARK-3156]

Updated binsToBestSplit():
* This now computes cumulative sums of stats for ordered features.
* For ordered categorical features, it chooses an ordering for categories. (This uses to be done by findSplitsBins.)
* Uses iterators to shorten code and avoid building an Array[Array[InformationGainStats]].

Side effects:
* In findSplitsBins: A sample of the data is only taken for data with continuous features.  It is not needed for data with only categorical features.
* In findSplitsBins: splits and bins are no longer pre-computed for ordered categorical features since they are not needed.
* TreePoint binning is simpler for categorical features.

(4) Changed nodes to use 1-indexing [SPARK-3086]

Nodes used to be indexed from 0.  Now they are indexed from 1.
Node indexing functions are now collected in object Node (Node.scala).

(5) Small clean-ups

Eliminated functions extractNodeInfo() and extractInfoForLowerLevels() to reduce duplicate code.
Eliminated InvalidBinIndex since it is no longer used.

dd4d3aa [Joseph K. Bradley] Mid-process in bug fix: bug for binary classification with categorical features * Bug: Categorical features were all treated as ordered for binary classification.  This is possible but would require the bin ordering to be determined on-the-fly after the aggregation.  Currently, the ordering is determined a priori and fixed for all splits. * (Temp) Fix: Treat low-arity categorical features as unordered for binary classification. * Related change: I removed most tests for isMulticlass in the code.  I instead test metadata for whether there are unordered features. * Status: The bug may be fixed, but more testing needs to be done.
