We introduced the Netty network module for shuffle in Spark 1.2, and has turned it on by default for 3 releases. The old ConnectionManager is difficult to maintain. If we merge the patch now, by the time it is released, it would be 1 yr for which ConnectionManager is off by default. It's time to remove it.

This PR takes over https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/8389.

This PR improves `checkAnswer` to print the partially analyzed plan in addition to the user friendly error message, in order to aid debugging failing tests.

In doing so, I ran into a conflict with the various ways that we bring a SQLContext into the tests. Depending on the trait we refer to the current context as `sqlContext`, `_sqlContext`, `ctx` or `hiveContext` with access modifiers `public`, `protected` and `private` depending on the defining class.

I propose we refactor as follows:

1. All tests should only refer to a `protected sqlContext` when testing general features, and `protected hiveContext` when it is a method that only exists on a `HiveContext`.
2. All tests should only import `testImplicits._` (i.e., don't import `TestHive.implicits._`)

Closes #8601 from shivaram/sparkr-style-fix.

Note: this is not intended to be in Spark 1.5!

This patch rewrites some code in the `DAGScheduler` to make it more readable. In particular
- there were blocks of code that are unnecessary and removed for simplicity
- there were abstractions that are unnecessary and made the code hard to navigate
- other minor changes

Author: Andrew Or <andrew@databricks.com>

Closes #8217 from andrewor14/dag-scheduler-readability and squashes the following commits:

57abca3 [Andrew Or] Move comment back into if case
574fb1e [Andrew Or] Merge branch 'master' of github.com:apache/spark into dag-scheduler-readability
64a9ed2 [Andrew Or] Remove unnecessary code + minor code rewrites

This avoids them being mistakenly pulled instead of the newer ones that
Spark actually uses. Spark only depends on these artifacts transitively,
so sometimes maven just decides to pick tachyon's version of the
dependency for whatever reason.

From Jira:
Running spark-submit with yarn with number-executors equal to 0 when not using dynamic allocation should error out.

yarn.ClientArguments still has the check so something else must have changed.

This is pretty minor, just trying to improve the readability of `DAGSchedulerSuite`, I figure every bit helps.  Before whenever I read this test, I never knew what "should work" and "should be ignored" really meant -- this adds some asserts & updates comments to make it more clear.  Also some reformatting per a suggestion from markhamstra on https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/7699

Closes #8514 from eracah/master.

Added numPartitions(evaluate: Boolean) to RDD. With "evaluate=true" the method is same with "partitions.length". With "evaluate=false", it checks checked-out or already evaluated partitions in the RDD to get number of partition. If it's not those cases, returns -1. RDDInfo.partitionNum calls numPartition only when it's accessed.

The ```Stage``` class now tracks whether there were a sufficient number of consecutive failures of that stage to trigger an abort.

To avoid an infinite loop of stage retries, we abort the job completely after 4 consecutive stage failures for one stage. We still allow more than 4 consecutive stage failures if there is an intervening successful attempt for the stage, so that in very long-lived applications, where a stage may get reused many times, we don't abort the job after failures that have been recovered from successfully.

I've added test cases to exercise the most obvious scenarios.

Closes #8578 from yhuai/SPARK-10422.

`pyspark.sql.column.Column` object has `__getitem__` method, which makes it iterable for Python. In fact it has `__getitem__` to address the case when the column might be a list or dict, for you to be able to access certain element of it in DF API. The ability to iterate over it is just a side effect that might cause confusion for the people getting familiar with Spark DF (as you might iterate this way on Pandas DF for instance)

Issue reproduction:
```
df = sqlContext.jsonRDD(sc.parallelize(['{"name": "El Magnifico"}']))
for i in df["name"]: print i
```

To correctly isolate applications, when requests to read shuffle data
arrive at the shuffle service, proper authorization checks need to
be performed. This change makes sure that only the application that
created the shuffle data can read from it.

Such checks are only enabled when "spark.authenticate" is enabled,
otherwise there's no secure way to make sure that the client is really
who it says it is.

For example, we can write `SELECT MAX(value) FROM src GROUP BY key + 1 ORDER BY key + 1` in PostgreSQL, and we should support this in Spark SQL.

Author: Wenchen Fan <cloud0fan@outlook.com>

Closes #8548 from cloud-fan/support-order-by-non-attribute.

Before #8371, there was a bug for `Sort` on `Aggregate` that we can't use aggregate expressions named `_aggOrdering` and can't use more than one ordering expressions which contains aggregate functions. The reason of this bug is that: The aggregate expression in `SortOrder` never get resolved, we alias it with `_aggOrdering` and call `toAttribute` which gives us an `UnresolvedAttribute`. So actually we are referencing aggregate expression by name, not by exprId like we thought. And if there is already an aggregate expression named `_aggOrdering` or there are more than one ordering expressions having aggregate functions, we will have conflict names and can't search by name.

However, after #8371 got merged, the `SortOrder`s are guaranteed to be resolved and we are always referencing aggregate expression by exprId. The Bug doesn't exist anymore and this PR add regression tests for it.
