[WIP] [SPARK-1328] Add vector statistics

As with the new vector system in MLlib, we find that it is good to add some new APIs to precess the `RDD[Vector]`. Beside, the former implementation of `computeStat` is not stable which could loss precision, and has the possibility to cause `Nan` in scientific computing, just as said in the [SPARK-1328](https://spark-project.atlassian.net/browse/SPARK-1328).

APIs contain:

* rowMeans(): RDD[Double]
* rowNorm2(): RDD[Double]
* rowSDs(): RDD[Double]
* colMeans(): Vector
* colMeans(size: Int): Vector
* colNorm2(): Vector
* colNorm2(size: Int): Vector
* colSDs(): Vector
* colSDs(size: Int): Vector
* maxOption((Vector, Vector) => Boolean): Option[Vector]
* minOption((Vector, Vector) => Boolean): Option[Vector]
* rowShrink(): RDD[Vector]
* colShrink(): RDD[Vector]

This is working in process now, and some more APIs will add to `LabeledPoint`. Moreover, the implicit declaration will move from `MLUtils` to `MLContext` later.

SPARK-1057 (alternative) Remove fastutil

(This is for discussion at this point -- I'm not suggesting this should be committed.)

This is what removing fastutil looks like. Much of it is straightforward, like using `java.io` buffered stream classes, and Guava for murmurhash3.

Uses of the `FastByteArrayOutputStream` were a little trickier. In only one case though do I think the change to use `java.io` actually entails an extra array copy.

The rest is using `OpenHashMap` and `OpenHashSet`.  These are now written in terms of more scala-like operations.

`OpenHashMap` is where I made three non-trivial changes to make it work, and they need review:

- It is no longer private
- The key must be a `ClassTag`
- Unless a lot of other code changes, the key type can't enforce being a supertype of `Null`

It all works and tests pass, and I think there is reason to believe it's OK from a speed perspective.

But what about those last changes?

[SPARK-1386] Web UI for Spark Streaming

When debugging Spark Streaming applications it is necessary to monitor certain metrics that are not shown in the Spark application UI. For example, what is average processing time of batches? What is the scheduling delay? Is the system able to process as fast as it is receiving data? How many records I am receiving through my receivers?

While the StreamingListener interface introduced in the 0.9 provided some of this information, it could only be accessed programmatically. A UI that shows information specific to the streaming applications is necessary for easier debugging. This PR introduces such a UI. It shows various statistics related to the streaming application. Here is a screenshot of the UI running on my local machine.

http://i.imgur.com/1ooDGhm.png

This UI is integrated into the Spark UI running at 4040.

[SPARK-1403] Move the class loader creation back to where it was in 0.9.0

[SPARK-1403] I investigated why spark 0.9.0 loads fine on mesos while spark 1.0.0 fails. What I found was that in SparkEnv.scala, while creating the SparkEnv object, the current thread's classloader is null. But in 0.9.0, at the same place, it is set to org.apache.spark.repl.ExecutorClassLoader . I saw that https://github.com/apache/spark/commit/7edbea41b43e0dc11a2de156be220db8b7952d01 moved it to it current place. I moved it back and saw that 1.0.0 started working fine on mesos.

I just created a minimal patch that allows me to run spark on mesos correctly. It seems like SecurityManager's creation needs to be taken into account for a correct fix. Also moving the creation of the serializer out of SparkEnv might be a part of the right solution. PTAL.

SPARK-1480: Clean up use of classloaders

The Spark codebase is a bit fast-and-loose when accessing classloaders and this has caused a few bugs to surface in master.

This patch defines some utility methods for accessing classloaders. This makes the intention when accessing a classloader much more explicit in the code and fixes a few cases where the wrong one was chosen.

case (a) -> We want the classloader that loaded Spark
case (b) -> We want the context class loader, or if not present, we want (a)

This patch provides a better fix for SPARK-1403 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1403) than the current work around, which it reverts. It also fixes a previously unreported bug that the `./spark-submit` script did not work for running with `local` master. It didn't work because the executor classloader did not properly delegate to the context class loader (if it is defined) and in local mode the context class loader is set by the `./spark-submit` script. A unit test is added for that case.

[SPARK-1415] Hadoop min split for wholeTextFiles()

JIRA issue [here](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1415).

New Hadoop API of `InputFormat` does not provide the `minSplits` parameter, which makes the API incompatible between `HadoopRDD` and `NewHadoopRDD`. The PR is for constructing compatible APIs.

Though `minSplits` is deprecated by New Hadoop API, we think it is better to make APIs compatible here.

**Note** that `minSplits` in `wholeTextFiles` could only be treated as a *suggestion*, the real number of splits may not be greater than `minSplits` due to `isSplitable()=false`.

SPARK-1488. Resolve scalac feature warnings during build

For your consideration: scalac currently notes a number of feature warnings during compilation:

```
[warn] there were 65 feature warning(s); re-run with -feature for details
```

Warnings are like:

```
[warn] /Users/srowen/Documents/spark/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/SparkContext.scala:1261: implicit conversion method rddToPairRDDFunctions should be enabled
[warn] by making the implicit value scala.language.implicitConversions visible.
[warn] This can be achieved by adding the import clause 'import scala.language.implicitConversions'
[warn] or by setting the compiler option -language:implicitConversions.
[warn] See the Scala docs for value scala.language.implicitConversions for a discussion
[warn] why the feature should be explicitly enabled.
[warn]   implicit def rddToPairRDDFunctions[K: ClassTag, V: ClassTag](rdd: RDD[(K, V)]) =
[warn]                ^
```

scalac is suggesting that it's just best practice to explicitly enable certain language features by importing them where used.

This PR simply adds the imports it suggests (and squashes one other Java warning along the way). This leaves just deprecation warnings in the build.

SPARK-1374: PySpark API for SparkSQL

An initial API that exposes SparkSQL functionality in PySpark. A PythonRDD composed of dictionaries, with string keys and primitive values (boolean, float, int, long, string) can be converted into a SchemaRDD that supports sql queries.

```
from pyspark.context import SQLContext
sqlCtx = SQLContext(sc)
rdd = sc.parallelize([{"field1" : 1, "field2" : "row1"}, {"field1" : 2, "field2": "row2"}, {"field1" : 3, "field2": "row3"}])
srdd = sqlCtx.applySchema(rdd)
sqlCtx.registerRDDAsTable(srdd, "table1")
srdd2 = sqlCtx.sql("SELECT field1 AS f1, field2 as f2 from table1")
srdd2.collect()
```
The last line yields ```[{"f1" : 1, "f2" : "row1"}, {"f1" : 2, "f2": "row2"}, {"f1" : 3, "f2": "row3"}]```

SPARK-1501: Ensure assertions in Graph.apply are asserted.

The Graph.apply test in GraphSuite had some assertions in a closure in
a graph transformation. As a consequence, these assertions never
actually executed.  Furthermore, these closures had a reference to
(non-serializable) test harness classes because they called assert(),
which could be a problem if we proactively check closure serializability
in the future.

This commit simply changes the Graph.apply test to collect the graph
triplets so it can assert about each triplet from a map method.

[SPARK-1157][MLlib] L-BFGS Optimizer based on Breeze's implementation.

This PR uses Breeze's L-BFGS implement, and Breeze dependency has already been introduced by Xiangrui's sparse input format work in SPARK-1212. Nice work, @mengxr !

When use with regularized updater, we need compute the regVal and regGradient (the gradient of regularized part in the cost function), and in the currently updater design, we can compute those two values by the following way.

Let's review how updater works when returning newWeights given the input parameters.

w' = w - thisIterStepSize * (gradient + regGradient(w))  Note that regGradient is function of w!
If we set gradient = 0, thisIterStepSize = 1, then
regGradient(w) = w - w'

As a result, for regVal, it can be computed by

    val regVal = updater.compute(
      weights,
      new DoubleMatrix(initialWeights.length, 1), 0, 1, regParam)._2
and for regGradient, it can be obtained by

The PR includes the tests which compare the result with SGD with/without regularization.

We did a comparison between LBFGS and SGD, and often we saw 10x less
steps in LBFGS while the cost of per step is the same (just computing
the gradient).

The following is the paper by Prof. Ng at Stanford comparing different
optimizers including LBFGS and SGD. They use them in the context of
deep learning, but worth as reference.

Decision Tree documentation for MLlib programming guide

Added documentation for user to use the decision tree algorithms for classification and regression in Spark 1.0 release.

Apart from a general review, I need specific input on the following:
* I had to move a lot of the existing documentation under the *linear methods* umbrella to accommodate decision trees. I wonder if there is a better way to organize the programming guide given we are so close to the release.
* I have not looked closely at pyspark but I am wondering new mllib algorithms are automatically plugged in or do we need to some extra work to call mllib functions from pyspark. I will add to the pyspark examples based upon the advice I get.
