The Scala example under the "Example: Pipeline" heading in this
document initializes the "test" variable to a DataFrame. Because test
is already a DF, there is not need to call test.toDF as the example
does in a subsequent line: model.transform(test.toDF). So, I removed
the extraneous toDF invocation.

This PR is based on PR #8476 authored by zhichao-li. It fixes SPARK-10310 by adding field delimiter SerDe property to the default `LazySimpleSerDe`, and enabling default record reader/writer classes.

Currently, we only support `LazySimpleSerDe`, used together with `TextRecordReader` and `TextRecordWriter`, and don't support customizing record reader/writer using `RECORDREADER`/`RECORDWRITER` clauses. This should be addressed in separate PR(s).

Closes #8828 from andrewor14/task-end-reason-json.

This patch refactors Python UDF handling:

1. Extract the per-partition Python UDF calling logic from PythonRDD into a PythonRunner. PythonRunner itself expects iterator as input/output, and thus has no dependency on RDD. This way, we can use PythonRunner directly in a mapPartitions call, or in the future in an environment without RDDs.
2. Use PythonRunner in Spark SQL's BatchPythonEvaluation.
3. Updated BatchPythonEvaluation to only use its input once, rather than twice. This should fix Python UDF performance regression in Spark 1.5.

There are a number of small cleanups I wanted to do when I looked at the code, but I kept most of those out so the diff looks small.

This basically implements the approach in https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/8833, but with some code moving around so the correctness doesn't depend on the inner workings of Spark serialization and task execution.

[SPARK-10672] [SQL] Do not fail when we cannot save the metadata of a data source table in a hive compatible way

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-10672

With changes in this PR, we will fallback to same the metadata of a table in Spark SQL specific way if we fail to save it in a hive compatible way (Hive throws an exception because of its internal restrictions, e.g. binary and decimal types cannot be saved to parquet if the metastore is running Hive 0.13). I manually tested the fix with the following test in `DataSourceWithHiveMetastoreCatalogSuite` (`spark.sql.hive.metastore.version=0.13` and `spark.sql.hive.metastore.jars`=`maven`).

```
    test(s"fail to save metadata of a parquet table in hive 0.13") {
      withTempPath { dir =>
        withTable("t") {
          val path = dir.getCanonicalPath

          sql(
            s"""CREATE TABLE t USING $provider
               |OPTIONS (path '$path')
               |AS SELECT 1 AS d1, cast("val_1" as binary) AS d2
             """.stripMargin)

          sql(
            s"""describe formatted t
             """.stripMargin).collect.foreach(println)

          sqlContext.table("t").show
        }
      }
    }
  }
```

Without this fix, we will fail with the following error.
```

Currently when you set illegal value for params of array type (such as IntArrayParam, DoubleArrayParam, StringArrayParam), it will throw IllegalArgumentException but with incomprehensible error information.
Take ```VectorSlicer.setNames``` as an example:
```scala
val vectorSlicer = new VectorSlicer().setInputCol("features").setOutputCol("result")
// The value of setNames must be contain distinct elements, so the next line will throw exception.
vectorSlicer.setIndices(Array.empty).setNames(Array("f1", "f4", "f1"))
```
It will throw IllegalArgumentException as:
```
vectorSlicer_b3b4d1a10f43 parameter names given invalid value [Ljava.lang.String;798256c5.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: vectorSlicer_b3b4d1a10f43 parameter names given invalid value [Ljava.lang.String;798256c5.
```
We should distinguish the value of array type from primitive type at Param.validate(value: T), and we will get better error information.
```
vectorSlicer_3b744ea277b2 parameter names given invalid value [f1,f4,f1].
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: vectorSlicer_3b744ea277b2 parameter names given invalid value [f1,f4,f1].

Closes #8846 from srowen/SPARK-10716.

from the issue:

In Scala, I can supply a custom partitioner to reduceByKey (and other aggregation/repartitioning methods like aggregateByKey and combinedByKey), but as far as I can tell from the Pyspark API, there's no way to do the same in Python.
Here's an example of my code in Scala:
weblogs.map(s => (getFileType(s), 1)).reduceByKey(new FileTypePartitioner(),_+_)
But I can't figure out how to do the same in Python. The closest I can get is to call repartition before reduceByKey like so:
weblogs.map(lambda s: (getFileType(s), 1)).partitionBy(3,hash_filetype).reduceByKey(lambda v1,v2: v1+v2).collect()
But that defeats the purpose, because I'm shuffling twice instead of once, so my performance is worse instead of better.

[SPARK-10649] [STREAMING] Prevent inheriting job group and irrelevant job description in streaming jobs

The job group, and job descriptions information is passed through thread local properties, and get inherited by child threads. In case of spark streaming, the streaming jobs inherit these properties from the thread that called streamingContext.start(). This may not make sense.

1. Job group: This is mainly used for cancelling a group of jobs together. It does not make sense to cancel streaming jobs like this, as the effect will be unpredictable. And its not a valid usecase any way, to cancel a streaming context, call streamingContext.stop()

2. Job description: This is used to pass on nice text descriptions for jobs to show up in the UI. The job description of the thread that calls streamingContext.start() is not useful for all the streaming jobs, as it does not make sense for all of the streaming jobs to have the same description, and the description may or may not be related to streaming.

The solution in this PR is meant for the Spark master branch, where local properties are inherited by cloning the properties. The job group and job description in the thread that starts the streaming scheduler are explicitly removed, so that all the subsequent child threads does not inherit them. Also, the starting is done in a new child thread, so that setting the job group and description for streaming, does not change those properties in the thread that called streamingContext.start().

I noticed only one block manager registered with master in an unsuccessful build (https://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu/jenkins/job/Spark-Master-SBT/AMPLAB_JENKINS_BUILD_PROFILE=hadoop2.2,label=spark-test/3534/)
```
15/09/16 13:02:30.981 pool-1-thread-1-ScalaTest-running-BroadcastSuite INFO SparkContext: Running Spark version 1.6.0-SNAPSHOT

```
In addition, the first block manager needed 7+ seconds to start. But the test expected 2 block managers so it failed.

However, there was no exception in this log file. So I checked a successful build (https://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu/jenkins/job/Spark-Master-SBT/3536/AMPLAB_JENKINS_BUILD_PROFILE=hadoop2.2,label=spark-test/) and it needed 4-5 seconds to set up the local cluster:
```

```
In this build, the first block manager needed only 3+ seconds to start.

Comparing these two builds, I guess it's possible that the local cluster in `BroadcastSuite` cannot be ready in 10 seconds if the Jenkins worker is busy. So I just increased the timeout to 60 seconds to see if this can fix the issue.
