It is common to want to describe sets of attributes that are in various parts of a query plan.  However, the semantics of putting `AttributeReference` objects into a standard Scala `Set` result in subtle bugs when references differ cosmetically.  For example, with case insensitive resolution it is possible to have two references to the same attribute whose names are not equal.

In this PR I introduce a new abstraction, an `AttributeSet`, which performs all comparisons using the globally unique `ExpressionId` instead of case class equality.  (There is already a related class, [`AttributeMap`](https://github.com/marmbrus/spark/blob/inMemStats/sql/catalyst/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/catalyst/expressions/AttributeMap.scala#L32))  This new type of set is used to fix a bug in the optimizer where needed attributes were getting projected away underneath join operators.

I also took this opportunity to refactor the expression and query plan base classes.  In all but one instance the logic for computing the `references` of an `Expression` were the same.  Thus, I moved this logic into the base class.

For query plans the semantics of  the `references` method were ill defined (is it the references output? or is it those used by expression evaluation? or what?).  As a result, this method wasn't really used very much.  So, I removed it.

TODO:
 - [x] Finish scala doc for `AttributeSet`
 - [x] Scan the code for other instances of `Set[Attribute]` and refactor them.
 - [x] Finish removing `references` from `QueryPlan`

RDD.histogram(buckets)

        Compute a histogram using the provided buckets. The buckets
        are all open to the right except for the last which is closed.
        e.g. [1,10,20,50] means the buckets are [1,10) [10,20) [20,50],
        which means 1<=x<10, 10<=x<20, 20<=x<=50. And on the input of 1
        and 50 we would have a histogram of 1,0,1.

        If your histogram is evenly spaced (e.g. [0, 10, 20, 30]),
        this can be switched from an O(log n) inseration to O(1) per
        element(where n = # buckets).

        Buckets must be sorted and not contain any duplicates, must be
        at least two elements.

        If `buckets` is a number, it will generates buckets which is
        evenly spaced between the minimum and maximum of the RDD. For
        example, if the min value is 0 and the max is 100, given buckets
        as 2, the resulting buckets will be [0,50) [50,100]. buckets must
        be at least 1 If the RDD contains infinity, NaN throws an exception
        If the elements in RDD do not vary (max == min) always returns
        a single bucket.

        It will return an tuple of buckets and histogram.

        >>> rdd = sc.parallelize(range(51))
        >>> rdd.histogram(2)
        ([0, 25, 50], [25, 26])
        >>> rdd.histogram([0, 5, 25, 50])
        ([0, 5, 25, 50], [5, 20, 26])
        >>> rdd.histogram([0, 15, 30, 45, 60], True)
        ([0, 15, 30, 45, 60], [15, 15, 15, 6])
        >>> rdd = sc.parallelize(["ab", "ac", "b", "bd", "ef"])
        >>> rdd.histogram(("a", "b", "c"))
        (('a', 'b', 'c'), [2, 2])

There are 4 different compression codec available for ```ParquetOutputFormat```

in Spark SQL, it was set as a hard-coded value in ```ParquetRelation.defaultCompression```

original discuss:
https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/195#discussion-diff-11002083

i added a new config property in SQLConf to allow user to change this compression codec, and i used similar short names syntax as described in SPARK-2953 #1873 (https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/1873/files#diff-0)

btw, which codec should we use as default? it was set to GZIP (https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/195/files#diff-4), but i think maybe we should change this to SNAPPY, since SNAPPY is already the default codec for shuffling in spark-core (SPARK-2469, #1415), and parquet-mr supports Snappy codec natively (https://github.com/Parquet/parquet-mr/commit/e440108de57199c12d66801ca93804086e7f7632).

As of #1777 we log the name of the actor system when it binds to a port. The current name "spark" is super general and does not convey any meaning. For instance, the following line is taken from my driver log after setting `spark.driver.port` to 5001.
```
14/08/13 19:33:29 INFO Remoting: Remoting started; listening on addresses:
[akka.tcp://sparkandrews-mbp:5001]

```
This commit renames this to "sparkDriver" and "sparkExecutor". The goal of this unambitious PR is simply to make the logged information more explicit without introducing any change in functionality.

(EDIT) Since the scalatest issue was since resolved, this is now about a few small problems in the Flume Sink `pom.xml`

- `scalatest` is not declared as a test-scope dependency
- Its Avro version doesn't match the rest of the build
- Its Flume version is not synced with the other Flume module
- The other Flume module declares its dependency on Flume Sink slightly incorrectly, hard-coding the Scala 2.10 version
- It depends on Scala Lang directly, which it shouldn't

RDD.zipWithIndex()

        Zips this RDD with its element indices.

        The ordering is first based on the partition index and then the
        ordering of items within each partition. So the first item in
        the first partition gets index 0, and the last item in the last
        partition receives the largest index.

        This method needs to trigger a spark job when this RDD contains
        more than one partitions.

        >>> sc.parallelize(range(4), 2).zipWithIndex().collect()
        [(0, 0), (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3)]

RDD.zipWithUniqueId()

        Zips this RDD with generated unique Long ids.

        Items in the kth partition will get ids k, n+k, 2*n+k, ..., where
        n is the number of partitions. So there may exist gaps, but this
        method won't trigger a spark job, which is different from
        L{zipWithIndex}

[SPARK-2963] REGRESSION - The description about how to build for using CLI and Thrift JDBC server is absent in proper document  -

The most important things I mentioned in #1885 is as follows.

* People who build Spark is not always programmer.
* If a person who build Spark is not a programmer, he/she won't read programmer's guide before building.

So, how to build for using CLI and JDBC server is not only in programmer's guide.

Due to maven bug https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1378, maven could not resolve spark streaming classes required by the spark-streaming test-jar dependency of external/flume-sink. There is no particular reason that the external/flume-sink has to depend on Spark Streaming at all, so I am eliminating this dependency. Also I have removed the exclusions present in the Flume dependencies, as there is no reason to exclude them (they were excluded in the external/flume module to prevent dependency collisions with Spark).

Since Jenkins will test the sbt build and the unit test, I only tested maven compilation locally.
