MLlib documentation fix

Synchronized mllib-optimization.md with Spark Scaladoc: removed reference to GradientDescent.runMiniBatchSGD method

This is a temporary fix to remove  a link from http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/mllib-optimization.html to GradientDescent.runMiniBatchSGD which is not in the current online GradientDescent Scaladoc.
FIXME: revert this commit after GradientDescent Scaladoc is updated.
See images for details.

[SPARK-2130] End-user friendly String repr for StorageLevel in Python

JIRA issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2130

This PR adds an end-user friendly String representation for StorageLevel
in Python, similar to ```StorageLevel.description``` in Scala.
```
>>> rdd = sc.parallelize([1,2])
>>> storage_level = rdd.getStorageLevel()
>>> storage_level
StorageLevel(False, False, False, False, 1)
>>> print(storage_level)
Serialized 1x Replicated
```

[SPARK-2144] ExecutorsPage reports incorrect # of RDD blocks

This is reproducible whenever we drop a block because of memory pressure.

This is because StorageStatusListener actually never removes anything from the block maps of its StorageStatuses. Instead, when a block is dropped, it sets the block's storage level to `StorageLevel.NONE`, when it should just remove it from the map.

This PR includes this simple fix.

[SPARK-2053][SQL] Add Catalyst expressions for CASE WHEN.

JIRA ticket: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2053

This PR adds support for two types of CASE statements present in Hive. The first type is of the form `CASE WHEN a THEN b [WHEN c THEN d]* [ELSE e] END`, with the semantics like a chain of if statements. The second type is of the form `CASE a WHEN b THEN c [WHEN d THEN e]* [ELSE f] END`, with the semantics like a switch statement on key `a`. Both forms are implemented in `CaseWhen`.

[This link](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+UDF#LanguageManualUDF-ConditionalFunctions) contains more detailed descriptions on their semantics.

Notes / Open issues:

* Please check if any implicit contracts / invariants are broken in the implementations (especially for the operators). I am not very familiar with them and I currently find them tricky to spot.
* We should decide whether or not a non-boolean condition is allowed in a branch of `CaseWhen`. Hive throws a `SemanticException` for this situation and I think it'd be good to mimic it -- the question is where in the whole Spark SQL pipeline should we signal an exception for such a query.

[SPARK-2147 / 2161] Show removed executors on the UI

This PR includes two changes
- **[SPARK-2147]** When an application finishes cleanly (i.e. `sc.stop()` is called), all of its executors used to disappear from the Master UI. This no longer happens.
- **[SPARK-2161]** This adds a "Removed Executors" table to Master UI, so the user can find out why their executors died from the logs, for instance. The equivalent table already existed in the Worker UI, but was hidden because of a bug (the comment `//scalastyle:off` disconnected the `Seq[Node]` that represents the HTML for table).

This should go into 1.0.1 if possible.

[STREAMING] SPARK-2009 Key not found exception when slow receiver starts

I got "java.util.NoSuchElementException: key not found: 1401756085000 ms" exception when using kafka stream and 1 sec batchPeriod.

Investigation showed that the reason is that ReceiverLauncher.startReceivers is asynchronous (started in a thread).
https://github.com/vchekan/spark/blob/master/streaming/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/streaming/scheduler/ReceiverTracker.scala#L206

In case of slow starting receiver, such as Kafka, it easily takes more than 2sec to start. In result, no single "compute" will be called on ReceiverInputDStream before first batch job is executed and receivedBlockInfo remains empty (obviously). Batch job will cause ReceiverInputDStream.getReceivedBlockInfo call and "key not found" exception.

The patch makes getReceivedBlockInfo more robust by tolerating missing values.

[SPARK-2176][SQL] Extra unnecessary exchange operator in the result of an explain command

```
hql("explain select * from src group by key").collect().foreach(println)

[ExplainCommand [plan#27:0]]
[ Aggregate false, [key#25], [key#25,value#26]]
[  Exchange (HashPartitioning [key#25:0], 200)]
[   Exchange (HashPartitioning [key#25:0], 200)]
[    Aggregate true, [key#25], [key#25]]
[     HiveTableScan [key#25,value#26], (MetastoreRelation default, src, None), None]
```

There are two exchange operators.

However, if we do not use explain...
```
hql("select * from src group by key")

res4: org.apache.spark.sql.SchemaRDD =
SchemaRDD[8] at RDD at SchemaRDD.scala:100
== Query Plan ==
Aggregate false, [key#8], [key#8,value#9]
 Exchange (HashPartitioning [key#8:0], 200)
  Aggregate true, [key#8], [key#8]
   HiveTableScan [key#8,value#9], (MetastoreRelation default, src, None), None
```
The plan is fine.

The cause of this bug is explained below.

When we create an `execution.ExplainCommand`, we use the `executedPlan` as the child of this `ExplainCommand`. But, this `executedPlan` is prepared for execution again when we generate the `executedPlan` for the `ExplainCommand`. Basically, `prepareForExecution` is called twice on a physical plan. Because after `prepareForExecution` we have already bounded those references (in `BoundReference`s), `AddExchange` cannot figure out we are using the same partitioning (we use `AttributeReference`s to create an `ExchangeOperator` and then those references will be changed to `BoundReference`s after `prepareForExecution` is called). So, an extra `ExchangeOperator` is inserted.

I think in `CommandStrategy`, we should just use the `sparkPlan` (`sparkPlan` is the input of `prepareForExecution`) to initialize the `ExplainCommand` instead of using `executedPlan`.
