This feature allows user to add cache table from the select query.
Example : ```CACHE TABLE testCacheTable AS SELECT * FROM TEST_TABLE```
Spark takes this type of SQL as command and it does lazy caching just like ```SQLContext.cacheTable```, ```CACHE TABLE <name>``` does.
It can be executed from both SQLContext and HiveContext.

Currently, we serialize the data between JVM and Python case by case manually, this cannot scale to support so many APIs in MLlib.

This patch will try to address this problem by serialize the data using pickle protocol, using Pyrolite library to serialize/deserialize in JVM. Pickle protocol can be easily extended to support customized class.

All the modules are refactored to use this protocol.

Known issues: There will be some performance regression (both CPU and memory, the serialized data increased)

VertexRDD.apply had a bug where it ignored the merge function for
duplicate vertices and instead used whichever vertex attribute occurred
first. This commit fixes the bug by passing the merge function through
to ShippableVertexPartition.apply, which merges any duplicates using the
merge function and then fills in missing vertices using the specified
default vertex attribute. This commit also adds a unit test for
VertexRDD.apply.

Local `SparseMatrix` support added in Compressed Column Storage (CCS) format in addition to Level-2 and Level-3 BLAS operations such as dgemv and dgemm respectively.

BLAS doesn't support  sparse matrix operations, therefore support for `SparseMatrix`-`DenseMatrix` multiplication and `SparseMatrix`-`DenseVector` implementations have been added. I will post performance comparisons in the comments momentarily.

The JIRA and PR was original created for branch-1.1, and move to master branch now.
Chester

The Issue is due to that yarn-alpha and yarn have different APIs for certain class fields. In this particular case,  the ClientBase using reflection to to address this issue, and we need to different way to test the ClientBase's method.  Original ClientBaseSuite using getFieldValue() method to do this. But it doesn't work for yarn-alpha as the API returns an array of String instead of just String (which is the case for Yarn-stable API).

 To fix the test, I add a new method

  def getFieldValue2[A: ClassTag, A1: ClassTag, B](clazz: Class[_], field: String,
                                                      defaults: => B)
                              (mapTo:  A => B)(mapTo1: A1 => B) : B =
    Try(clazz.getField(field)).map(_.get(null)).map {
      case v: A => mapTo(v)
      case v1: A1 => mapTo1(v1)
      case _ => defaults
    }.toOption.getOrElse(defaults)

to handle the cases where the field type can be either type A or A1. In this new method the type A or A1 is pattern matched and corresponding mapTo function (mapTo or mapTo1) is used.

The test "jetty selects different port under contention" is flaky.

If another process binds to 4040 before the test starts, then the first server we start there will fail, and the subsequent servers we start thereafter may successfully bind to 4040 if it was released between the servers starting. Instead, we should just let Java find a random free port for us and hold onto it for the duration of the test.

This adds a new page to the docs listing community projects -- those created outside of Apache Spark that are of interest to the community of Spark users.   Anybody can add to it just by submitting a PR.

There was a discussion thread about alternatives:
* Creating a Github organization for Spark projects -  we could not find any sponsors for this, and it would be difficult to organize since many folks just create repos in their company organization or personal accounts
* Apache has some place for storing community projects, but it was deemed difficult to work with, and again would be some permissions issues -- not everyone could update it.
