SPARK-1583: Fix a bug that using java.util.HashMap by mistake

JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1583

Does anyone know why using `java.util.HashMap` rather than `mutable.HashMap`? Some methods of `java.util.HashMap` are not generics and compiler can not help us find similar problems.

SPARK-1572 Don't kill Executor if PythonRDD fails while computing parent

Previously, the behavior was that if the parent RDD threw any exception other than IOException or FileNotFoundException (which is quite possible for Hadoop input sources), the entire Executor would crash, because the default thread a uncaught exception handler calls System.exit().

This patch avoids two related issues:

  1. Always catch exceptions in this reader thread.
  2. Don't mask readerException when Python throws an EOFError
     after worker.shutdownOutput() is called.

Honor default fs name when initializing event logger.

This is related to SPARK-1459 / PR #375. Without this fix,
FileLogger.createLogDir() may try to create the log dir on
HDFS, while createWriter() will try to open the log file on
the local file system, leading to interesting errors and
confusion.
