SPARK-4297 [BUILD] Build warning fixes omnibus

There are a number of warnings generated in a normal, successful build right now. They're mostly Java unchecked cast warnings, which can be suppressed. But there's a grab bag of other Scala language warnings and so on that can all be easily fixed. The forthcoming PR fixes about 90% of the build warnings I see now.
Got it, I will undo this bit, and rebase too for good measure.
