[SPARK-4148][PySpark] fix seed distribution and add some tests for rdd.sample

The current way of seed distribution makes the random sequences from partition i and i+1 offset by 1.

~~~
In [14]: import random

In [15]: r1 = random.Random(10)

In [16]: r1.randint(0, 1)
Out[16]: 1

In [17]: r1.random()
Out[17]: 0.4288890546751146

In [18]: r1.random()

Note: The new tests are not for this bug fix.

[SPARK-4211][Build] Fixes hive.version in Maven profile hive-0.13.1

instead of `hive.version=0.13.1`.
e.g. mvn -Phive -Phive=0.13.1

Note: `hive.version=0.13.1a` is the default property value. However, when explicitly specifying the `hive-0.13.1` maven profile, the wrong one would be selected.
References:  PR #2685, which resolved a package incompatibility issue with Hive-0.13.1 by introducing a special version Hive-0.13.1a

[SPARK-4207][SQL] Query which has syntax like 'not like' is not working in Spark SQL

[SPARK-3594] [PySpark] [SQL] take more rows to infer schema or sampling

This patch will try to infer schema for RDD which has empty value (None, [], {}) in the first row. It will try first 100 rows and merge the types into schema, also merge fields of StructType together. If there is still NullType in schema, then it will show an warning, tell user to try with sampling.

If sampling is presented, it will infer schema from all the rows after sampling.

Also, add samplingRatio for jsonFile() and jsonRDD()

[SPARK-4202][SQL] Simple DSL support for Scala UDF

This feature is based on an offline discussion with mengxr, hopefully can be useful for the new MLlib pipeline API.

For the following test snippet

```scala
case class KeyValue(key: Int, value: String)
val testData = sc.parallelize(1 to 10).map(i => KeyValue(i, i.toString)).toSchemaRDD
def foo(a: Int, b: String) => a.toString + b
```

the newly introduced DSL enables the following syntax

```scala
import org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.dsl._
testData.select(Star(None), foo.call('key, 'value) as 'result)
```

which is equivalent to

```scala
testData.registerTempTable("testData")
sqlContext.registerFunction("foo", foo)
sql("SELECT *, foo(key, value) AS result FROM testData")
```

[SPARK-4152] [SQL] Avoid data change in CTAS while table already existed

[SQL] More aggressive defaults

 - Turns on compression for in-memory cached data by default
 - Changes the default parquet compression format back to gzip (we have seen more OOMs with production workloads due to the way Snappy allocates memory)
 - Ups the batch size to 10,000 rows
 - Increases the broadcast threshold to 10mb.
 - Uses our parquet implementation instead of the hive one by default.
 - Cache parquet metadata by default.
