SPARK-2028: Expose mapPartitionsWithInputSplit in HadoopRDD

This allows users to gain access to the InputSplit which backs each partition.

An alternative solution would have been to have a .withInputSplit() method which returns a new RDD[(InputSplit, (K, V))], but this is confusing because you could not cache this RDD or shuffle it, as InputSplit is not inherently serializable.

SPARK-2646. log4j initialization not quite compatible with log4j 2.x

The logging code that handles log4j initialization leads to an stack overflow error when used with log4j 2.x, which has just been released. This occurs even a downstream project has correctly adjusted SLF4J bindings, and that is the right thing to do for log4j 2.x, since it is effectively a separate project from 1.x.

Here is the relevant bit of Logging.scala:

```
  private def initializeLogging() {
    // If Log4j is being used, but is not initialized, load a default properties file
    val binder = StaticLoggerBinder.getSingleton
    val usingLog4j = binder.getLoggerFactoryClassStr.endsWith("Log4jLoggerFactory")
    val log4jInitialized = LogManager.getRootLogger.getAllAppenders.hasMoreElements
    if (!log4jInitialized && usingLog4j) {
      val defaultLogProps = "org/apache/spark/log4j-defaults.properties"
      Option(Utils.getSparkClassLoader.getResource(defaultLogProps)) match {
        case Some(url) =>
          PropertyConfigurator.configure(url)
          log.info(s"Using Spark's default log4j profile: $defaultLogProps")
        case None =>
          System.err.println(s"Spark was unable to load $defaultLogProps")
      }
    }
    Logging.initialized = true

    // Force a call into slf4j to initialize it. Avoids this happening from mutliple threads
    // and triggering this: http://mailman.qos.ch/pipermail/slf4j-dev/2010-April/002956.html
    log
  }
```

The first minor issue is that there is a call to a logger inside this method, which is initializing logging. In this situation, it ends up causing the initialization to be called recursively until the stack overflow. It would be slightly tidier to log this only after Logging.initialized = true. Or not at all. But it's not the root problem, or else, it would not work at all now.

The calls to log4j classes here always reference log4j 1.2 no matter what. For example, there is not getAllAppenders in log4j 2.x. That's fine. Really, "usingLog4j" means "using log4j 1.2" and "log4jInitialized" means "log4j 1.2 is initialized".

usingLog4j should be false for log4j 2.x, because the initialization only matters for log4j 1.2. But, it's true, and that's the real issue. And log4jInitialized is always false, since calls to the log4j 1.2 API are stubs and no-ops in this setup, where the caller has swapped in log4j 2.x. Hence the loop.

This is fixed, I believe, if "usingLog4j" can be false for log4j 2.x. The SLF4J static binding class has the same name for both versions, unfortunately, which causes the issue. However they're in different packages. For example, if the test included "... and begins with org.slf4j", it should work, as the SLF4J binding for log4j 2.x is provided by log4j 2.x at the moment, and is in package org.apache.logging.slf4j.

Of course, I assume that SLF4J will eventually offer its own binding. I hope to goodness they at least name the binding class differently, or else this will again not work. But then some other check can probably be made.

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.
