SPARK-2740: allow user to specify ascending and numPartitions for sortBy...

It should be more convenient if user can specify ascending and numPartitions when calling sortByKey.

SPARK-2282: Reuse Socket for sending accumulator updates to Pyspark

Prior to this change, every PySpark task completion opened a new socket to the accumulator server, passed its updates through, and then quit. I'm not entirely sure why PySpark always sends accumulator updates, but regardless this causes a very rapid buildup of ephemeral TCP connections that remain in the TCP_WAIT state for around a minute before being cleaned up.

Rather than trying to allow these sockets to be cleaned up faster, this patch simply reuses the connection between tasks completions (since they're fed updates in a single-threaded manner by the DAGScheduler anyway).

The only tricky part here was making sure that the AccumulatorServer was able to shutdown in a timely manner (i.e., stop polling for new data), and this was accomplished via minor feats of magic.

I have confirmed that this patch eliminates the buildup of ephemeral sockets due to the accumulator updates. However, I did note that there were still significant sockets being created against the PySpark daemon port, but my machine was not able to create enough sockets fast enough to fail. This may not be the last time we've seen this issue, though.

[SPARK-2531 & SPARK-2436] [SQL] Optimize the BuildSide when planning BroadcastNestedLoopJoin.

This PR resolves the following two tickets:

- [SPARK-2531](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2531): BNLJ currently assumes the build side is the right relation. This patch refactors some of its logic to take into account a BuildSide properly.
- [SPARK-2436](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2436): building on top of the above, we simply use the physical size statistics (if available) of both relations, and make the smaller relation the build side in the planner.

[SPARK-2756] [mllib] Decision tree bug fixes

(1) Inconsistent aggregate (agg) indexing for unordered features.
(2) Fixed gain calculations for edge cases.
(3) One-off error in choosing thresholds for continuous features for small datasets.
(4) (not a bug) Changed meaning of tree depth by 1 to fit scikit-learn and rpart. (Depth 1 used to mean 1 leaf node; depth 0 now means 1 leaf node.)

Other updates, to help with tests:
* Updated DecisionTreeRunner to print more info.
* Added utility functions to DecisionTreeModel: toString, depth, numNodes
* Improved internal DecisionTree documentation

Bug fix details:

(1) Indexing was inconsistent for aggregate calculations for unordered features (in multiclass classification with categorical features, where the features had few enough values such that they could be considered unordered, i.e., isSpaceSufficientForAllCategoricalSplits=true).

* updateBinForUnorderedFeature indexed agg as (node, feature, featureValue, binIndex), where
** featureValue was from arr (so it was a feature value)
** binIndex was in [0,…, 2^(maxFeatureValue-1)-1)
* The rest of the code indexed agg as (node, feature, binIndex, label).
* Corrected this bug by changing updateBinForUnorderedFeature to use the second indexing pattern.

Unit tests in DecisionTreeSuite
* Updated a few tests to train a model and test its training accuracy, which catches the indexing bug from updateBinForUnorderedFeature() discussed above.
* Added new test (“stump with categorical variables for multiclass classification, with just enough bins”) to test bin extremes.

(2) Bug fix: calculateGainForSplit (for classification):
* It used to return dummy prediction values when either the right or left children had 0 weight.  These were incorrect for multiclass classification.  It has been corrected.

Updated impurities to allow for count = 0.  This was related to the above bug fix for calculateGainForSplit (for classification).

Small updates to documentation and coding style.

(3) Bug fix: Off-by-1 when finding thresholds for splits for continuous features.

* Exhibited bug in new test in DecisionTreeSuite: “stump with 1 continuous variable for binary classification, to check off-by-1 error”
* Description: When finding thresholds for possible splits for continuous features in DecisionTree.findSplitsBins, the thresholds were set according to individual training examples’ feature values.
* Fix: The threshold is set to be the average of 2 consecutive (sorted) examples’ feature values.  E.g.: If the old code set the threshold using example i, the new code sets the threshold using exam
* Note: In 4 DecisionTreeSuite tests with all labels identical, removed check of threshold since it is somewhat arbitrary.

[SPARK-2103][Streaming] Change to ClassTag for KafkaInputDStream and fix reflection issue

This PR updates previous Manifest for KafkaInputDStream's Decoder to ClassTag, also fix the problem addressed in [SPARK-2103](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2103).

Previous Java interface cannot actually get the type of Decoder, so when using this Manifest to reconstruct the decode object will meet reflection exception.

Also for other two Java interfaces, ClassTag[String] is useless because calling Scala API will get the right implicit ClassTag.

Current Kafka unit test cannot actually verify the interface. I've tested these interfaces in my local and distribute settings.

SPARK-2768 [MLLIB] Add product, user recommend method to MatrixFactorizationModel

Right now, `MatrixFactorizationModel` can only predict a score for one or more `(user,product)` tuples. As a comment in the file notes, it would be more useful to expose a recommend method, that computes top N scoring products for a user (or vice versa – users for a product).

(This also corrects some long lines in the Java ALS test suite.)

As you can see, it's a little messy to access the class from Java. Should there be a Java-friendly wrapper for it? with a pointer about where that should go, I could add that.
