This is an unfortunately invasive change which converts all of our BlockId
strings into actual BlockId types. Here are some advantages of doing this now:
+ Type safety
+ Code clarity - it's now obvious what the key of a shuffle or rdd block is,
for instance. Additionally, appearing in tuple/map type signatures is a big
readability bonus. A Seq[(String, BlockStatus)] is not very clear.
Further, we can now use more Scala features, like matching on BlockId types.
+ Explicit usage - we can now formally tell where various BlockIds are being used
(without doing string searches); this makes updating current BlockIds a much
clearer process, and compiler-supported.
(I'm looking at you, shuffle file consolidation.)
+ It will only get harder to make this change as time goes on.
Since this touches a lot of files, it'd be best to either get this patch
in quickly or throw it on the ground to avoid too many secondary merge conflicts.
Address review comments, move to incubator spark
Also includes a small fix to speculative execution.

Standalone Scheduler fault tolerance using ZooKeeper
This patch implements full distributed fault tolerance for standalone scheduler Masters.
There is only one master Leader at a time, which is actively serving scheduling
requests. If this Leader crashes, another master will eventually be elected, reconstruct
the state from the first Master, and continue serving scheduling requests.
Leader election is performed using the ZooKeeper leader election pattern. We try to minimize
the use of ZooKeeper and the assumptions about ZooKeeper's behavior, so there is a layer of
retries and session monitoring on top of the ZooKeeper client.
Master failover follows directly from the single-node Master recovery via the file
system (patch d5a96fe), save that the Master state is stored in ZooKeeper instead.
Configuration:
By default, no recovery mechanism is enabled (spark.deploy.recoveryMode = NONE).
By setting spark.deploy.recoveryMode to ZOOKEEPER and setting spark.deploy.zookeeper.url
to an appropriate ZooKeeper URL, ZooKeeper recovery mode is enabled.
By setting spark.deploy.recoveryMode to FILESYSTEM and setting spark.deploy.recoveryDirectory
to an appropriate directory accessible by the Master, we will keep the behavior of from d5a96fe.
Additionally, places where a Master could be specificied by a spark:// url can now take
comma-delimited lists to specify backup masters. Note that this is only used for registration
of NEW Workers and application Clients. Once a Worker or Client has registered with the
Master Leader, it is "in the system" and will never need to register again.
SPARK-900 Use coarser grained naming for metrics
see SPARK-900 Use coarser grained naming for metrics.
Now the new metric name is formatted as {XXX.YYY.ZZZ.COUNTER_UNIT}, XXX.YYY.ZZZ represents the group name, which can group several metrics under the same Ganglia view.
Don't allocate Kryo buffers unless needed
I noticed that the Kryo serializer could be slower than the Java one by 2-3x on small shuffles because it spend a lot of time initializing Kryo Input and Output objects. This is because our default buffer size for them is very large. Since the serializer is often used on streams, I made the initialization lazy for that, and used a smaller buffer (auto-managed by Kryo) for input.
Allow users to pass broadcasted Configurations and cache InputFormats across Hadoop file reads.
Note: originally from https://github.com/mesos/spark/pull/942
Currently motivated by Shark queries on Hive-partitioned tables, where there's a JobConf broadcast for every Hive-partition (i.e., every subdirectory read). The only thing different about those JobConfs is the input path - the Hadoop Configuration that the JobConfs are constructed from remain the same.
This PR only modifies the old Hadoop API RDDs, but similar additions to the new API might reduce computation latencies a little bit for high-frequency FileInputDStreams (which only uses the new API right now).
As a small bonus, added InputFormats caching, to avoid reflection calls for every RDD#compute().
Few other notes:
Added a general soft-reference hashmap in SparkHadoopUtil because I wanted to avoid adding another class to SparkEnv.
SparkContext default hadoopConfiguration isn't cached. There's no equals() method for Configuration, so there isn't a good way to determine when configuration properties have changed.
SPARK-920/921 - JSON endpoint updates
920 - Removal of duplicate scheme part of Spark URI, it was appearing as spark://spark//host:port in the JSON field.
JSON now delivered as:
url:spark://127.0.0.1:7077
921 - Adding the URL of the Main Application UI will allow custom interfaces (that use the JSON output) to redirect from the standalone UI.
One major change was the use of messages instead of raw functions as the
parameter of Akka scheduled timers. Since messages are serialized, unlike
raw functions, the behavior is easier to think about and doesn't cause
race conditions when exceptions are thrown.
Another change is to avoid using global pointers that might change without
a lock.
Currently PythonPartitioner determines partition ID by hashing a
byte-array representation of PySpark's key. This PR lets
PythonPartitioner use the actual partition ID, which is required e.g.
for sorting via PySpark.
