## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

For top-most limit, we will use a special operator to execute it: `CollectLimitExec`.

`CollectLimitExec` will retrieve `n`(which is the limit) rows from each partition of the child plan output, see https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/v2.2.0/sql/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/execution/SparkPlan.scala#L311. It's very likely that we don't exhaust the child plan output.

This is fine when whole-stage-codegen is off, as child plan will release the resource via task completion listener. However, when whole-stage codegen is on, the resource can only be released if all output is consumed.

To fix this memory leak, one simple approach is, when `CollectLimitExec` retrieve `n` rows from child plan output, child plan output should only have `n` rows, then the output is exhausted and resource is released. This can be done by wrapping child plan with `LocalLimit`

## How was this patch tested?

Spark SQL

This module provides support for executing relational queries expressed in either SQL or the DataFrame/Dataset API.

Spark SQL is broken up into four subprojects:

  • Catalyst (sql/catalyst) - An implementation-agnostic framework for manipulating trees of relational operators and expressions.
  • Execution (sql/core) - A query planner / execution engine for translating Catalyst's logical query plans into Spark RDDs. This component also includes a new public interface, SQLContext, that allows users to execute SQL or LINQ statements against existing RDDs and Parquet files.
  • Hive Support (sql/hive) - Includes an extension of SQLContext called HiveContext that allows users to write queries using a subset of HiveQL and access data from a Hive Metastore using Hive SerDes. There are also wrappers that allows users to run queries that include Hive UDFs, UDAFs, and UDTFs.
  • HiveServer and CLI support (sql/hive-thriftserver) - Includes support for the SQL CLI (bin/spark-sql) and a HiveServer2 (for JDBC/ODBC) compatible server.

Running sql/create-docs.sh generates SQL documentation for built-in functions under sql/site.
