Michael Armbrust 0e886610ee [SPARK-4050][SQL] Fix caching of temporary tables with projections.
Previously cached data was found by `sameResult` plan matching on optimized plans.  This technique however fails to locate the cached data when a temporary table with a projection is queried with a further reduced projection.  The failure is due to the fact that optimization will collapse the projections, producing a plan that no longer produces the sameResult as the cached data (though the cached data still subsumes the desired data).  For example consider the following previously failing test case.

```scala
sql("CACHE TABLE tempTable AS SELECT key FROM testData")
assertCached(sql("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tempTable"))
```

In this PR I change the matching to occur after analysis instead of optimization, so that in the case of temporary tables, the plans will always match.  I think this should work generally, however, this error does raise questions about the need to do more thorough subsumption checking when locating cached data.

Another question is what sort of semantics we want to provide when uncaching data from temporary tables.  For example consider the following sequence of commands:

```scala
testData.select('key).registerTempTable("tempTable1")
testData.select('key).registerTempTable("tempTable2")
cacheTable("tempTable1")

// This obviously works.
assertCached(sql("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tempTable1"))

// It seems good that this works ...
assertCached(sql("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tempTable2"))

// ... but is this valid?
uncacheTable("tempTable2")

// Should this still be cached?
assertCached(sql("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tempTable1"), 0)
```

Apache Spark

Spark is a fast and general cluster computing system for Big Data. It provides high-level APIs in Scala, Java, and Python, and an optimized engine that supports general computation graphs for data analysis. It also supports a rich set of higher-level tools including Spark SQL for SQL and structured data processing, MLlib for machine learning, GraphX for graph processing, and Spark Streaming for stream processing.

Online Documentation

You can find the latest Spark documentation, including a programming guide, on the project web page. This README file only contains basic setup instructions.

Building Spark

Spark is built using Apache Maven. To build Spark and its example programs, run:

mvn -DskipTests clean package

(You do not need to do this if you downloaded a pre-built package.) More detailed documentation is available from the project site, at "Building Spark with Maven".

Interactive Scala Shell

The easiest way to start using Spark is through the Scala shell:

./bin/spark-shell

Try the following command, which should return 1000:

scala> sc.parallelize(1 to 1000).count()

Interactive Python Shell

Alternatively, if you prefer Python, you can use the Python shell:

./bin/pyspark

And run the following command, which should also return 1000:

>>> sc.parallelize(range(1000)).count()

Example Programs

Spark also comes with several sample programs in the examples directory. To run one of them, use ./bin/run-example <class> [params]. For example:

./bin/run-example SparkPi

will run the Pi example locally.

You can set the MASTER environment variable when running examples to submit examples to a cluster. This can be a mesos:// or spark:// URL, "yarn-cluster" or "yarn-client" to run on YARN, and "local" to run locally with one thread, or "local[N]" to run locally with N threads. You can also use an abbreviated class name if the class is in the examples package. For instance:

MASTER=spark://host:7077 ./bin/run-example SparkPi

Many of the example programs print usage help if no params are given.

Running Tests

Testing first requires building Spark. Once Spark is built, tests can be run using:

./dev/run-tests

Please see the guidance on how to run all automated tests.

A Note About Hadoop Versions

Spark uses the Hadoop core library to talk to HDFS and other Hadoop-supported storage systems. Because the protocols have changed in different versions of Hadoop, you must build Spark against the same version that your cluster runs.

Please refer to the build documentation at "Specifying the Hadoop Version" for detailed guidance on building for a particular distribution of Hadoop, including building for particular Hive and Hive Thriftserver distributions. See also "Third Party Hadoop Distributions" for guidance on building a Spark application that works with a particular distribution.

Configuration

Please refer to the Configuration guide in the online documentation for an overview on how to configure Spark.
