This PR resorts to `SparkContext.version` rather than META-INF/MANIFEST.MF in the assembly jar to inspect Spark version. Currently, when built with Maven, the MANIFEST.MF file in the assembly jar is incorrectly replaced by Guava 15.0 MANIFEST.MF, probably because of the assembly/shading tricks.

Another related PR is #3103, which tries to fix the MANIFEST issue.

This PR elimiantes the network package's usage of the Java serializer and replaces it with Encodable, which is a lightweight binary protocol. Each message is preceded by a type id, which will allow us to change messages (by only adding new ones), or to change the format entirely by switching to a special id (such as -1).

This protocol has the advantage over Java that we can guarantee that messages will remain compatible across compiled versions and JVMs, though it does not provide a clean way to do schema migration. In the future, it may be good to use a more heavy-weight serialization format like protobuf, thrift, or avro, but these all add several dependencies which are unnecessary at the present time.

Additionally this unifies the RPC messages of NettyBlockTransferService and ExternalShuffleClient.

[SPARK-4204][Core][WebUI] Change Utils.exceptionString to contain the inner exceptions and make the error information in Web UI more friendly

This PR fixed `Utils.exceptionString` to output the full exception information. However, the stack trace may become very huge, so I also updated the Web UI to collapse the error information by default (display the first line and clicking `+detail` will display the full info).

Here are the screenshots:

This commit fixes the scheduler delay in the UI (which previously
included things that are not scheduler delay, like time to
deserialize the task and serialize the result), and also
adds information about time to deserialize tasks to the optional
additional metrics.  Time to deserialize the task can be large relative
to task time for short jobs, and understanding when it is high can help
developers realize that they should try to reduce closure size (e.g, by including
less data in the task description).

### Summary

* Made it easier to construct default Strategy and BoostingStrategy and to set parameters using simple types.
* Added Scala and Java examples for GradientBoostedTrees
* small cleanups and fixes

### Details

GradientBoosting bug fixes (“bug” = bad default options)
* Force boostingStrategy.weakLearnerParams.algo = Regression
* Force boostingStrategy.weakLearnerParams.impurity = impurity.Variance
* Only persist data if not yet persisted (since it causes an error if persisted twice)

BoostingStrategy
* numEstimators: renamed to numIterations
* removed subsamplingRate (duplicated by Strategy)
* removed categoricalFeaturesInfo since it belongs with the weak learner params (since boosting can be oblivious to feature type)
* Changed algo to var (not val) and added BeanProperty, with overload taking String argument
* Added assertValid() method
* Updated defaultParams() method and eliminated defaultWeakLearnerParams() since that belongs in Strategy

Strategy (for DecisionTree)
* Changed algo to var (not val) and added BeanProperty, with overload taking String argument
* Added setCategoricalFeaturesInfo method taking Java Map.
* Cleaned up assertValid
* Changed val’s to def’s since parameters can now be changed.

[SPARK-4029][Streaming] Update streaming driver to reliably save and recover received block metadata on driver failures

As part of the initiative of preventing data loss on driver failure, this JIRA tracks the sub task of modifying the streaming driver to reliably save received block metadata, and recover them on driver restart.

This was solved by introducing a `ReceivedBlockTracker` that takes all the responsibility of managing the metadata of received blocks (i.e. `ReceivedBlockInfo`, and any actions on them (e.g, allocating blocks to batches, etc.). All actions to block info get written out to a write ahead log (using `WriteAheadLogManager`). On recovery, all the actions are replaying to recreate the pre-failure state of the `ReceivedBlockTracker`, which include the batch-to-block allocations and the unallocated blocks.

Furthermore, the `ReceiverInputDStream` was modified to create `WriteAheadLogBackedBlockRDD`s when file segment info is present in the `ReceivedBlockInfo`. After recovery of all the block info (through recovery `ReceivedBlockTracker`), the `WriteAheadLogBackedBlockRDD`s gets recreated with the recovered info, and jobs submitted. The data of the blocks gets pulled from the write ahead logs, thanks to the segment info present in the `ReceivedBlockInfo`.

This is still a WIP. Things that are missing here are.

- *End-to-end integration tests:* Unit tests that tests the driver recovery, by killing and restarting the streaming context, and verifying all the input data gets processed. This has been implemented but not included in this PR yet. A sneak peek of that DriverFailureSuite can be found in this PR (on my personal repo): https://github.com/tdas/spark/pull/25 I can either include it in this PR, or submit that as a separate PR after this gets in.

- *WAL cleanup:* Cleaning up the received data write ahead log, by calling `ReceivedBlockHandler.cleanupOldBlocks`. This is being worked on.

pyspark.mllib.stat.StatisticschiSqTest(observed, expected=None)
    :: Experimental ::

    If `observed` is Vector, conduct Pearson's chi-squared goodness
    of fit test of the observed data against the expected distribution,
    or againt the uniform distribution (by default), with each category
    having an expected frequency of `1 / len(observed)`.
    (Note: `observed` cannot contain negative values)

    If `observed` is matrix, conduct Pearson's independence test on the
    input contingency matrix, which cannot contain negative entries or
    columns or rows that sum up to 0.

    If `observed` is an RDD of LabeledPoint, conduct Pearson's independence
    test for every feature against the label across the input RDD.
    For each feature, the (feature, label) pairs are converted into a
    contingency matrix for which the chi-squared statistic is computed.
    All label and feature values must be categorical.

    :param observed: it could be a vector containing the observed categorical
                     counts/relative frequencies, or the contingency matrix
                     (containing either counts or relative frequencies),
                     or an RDD of LabeledPoint containing the labeled dataset
                     with categorical features. Real-valued features will be
                     treated as categorical for each distinct value.
    :param expected: Vector containing the expected categorical counts/relative
                     frequencies. `expected` is rescaled if the `expected` sum
                     differs from the `observed` sum.
    :return: ChiSquaredTest object containing the test statistic, degrees
             of freedom, p-value, the method used, and the null hypothesis.

21cb2a8 [zsxwing] Add a backward compatibility test for FetchFailed

Register MLlib's Vector as a SQL user-defined type (UDT) in both Scala and Python. With this PR, we can easily map a RDD[LabeledPoint] to a SchemaRDD, and then select columns or save to a Parquet file. Examples in Scala/Python are attached. The Scala code was copied from jkbradley.

~~This PR contains the changes from #3068 . I will rebase after #3068 is merged.~~

236f0a0 [Xiangrui Meng] register vector as UDT and provide dataset examples

Following #2919, this PR adds Python UDT (for internal use only) with tests under "pyspark.tests". Before `SQLContext.applySchema`, we check whether we need to convert user-type instances into SQL recognizable data. In the current implementation, a Python UDT must be paired with a Scala UDT for serialization on the JVM side. A following PR will add VectorUDT in MLlib for both Scala and Python.

f735a43 [Xiangrui Meng] fix seed in BaggedPointSuite

This patch allows executor thread dumps to be collected on-demand and viewed in the Spark web UI.

The thread dumps are collected using Thread.getAllStackTraces().  To allow remote thread dumps to be triggered from the web UI, I added a new `ExecutorActor` that runs inside of the Executor actor system and responds to RPCs from the driver.  The driver's mechanism for obtaining a reference to this actor is a little bit hacky: it uses the block manager master actor to determine the host/port of the executor actor systems in order to construct ActorRefs to ExecutorActor.  Unfortunately, I couldn't find a much cleaner way to do this without a big refactoring of the executor -> driver communication.

The number of completed stages and failed stages showed on webUI will always be less than 1000. This is really misleading when there are already thousands of stages completed or failed. The number should be correct even when only partial stages listed on the webUI (stage info will be removed if the number is too large).
