Marcelo Vanzin 39e2bad6a8 [SPARK-17549][SQL] Only collect table size stat in driver for cached relation.
The existing code caches all stats for all columns for each partition
in the driver; for a large relation, this causes extreme memory usage,
which leads to gc hell and application failures.

It seems that only the size in bytes of the data is actually used in the
driver, so instead just colllect that. In executors, the full stats are
still kept, but that's not a big problem; we expect the data to be distributed
and thus not really incur in too much memory pressure in each individual
executor.

There are also potential improvements on the executor side, since the data
being stored currently is very wasteful (e.g. storing boxed types vs.
primitive types for stats). But that's a separate issue.

On a mildly related change, I'm also adding code to catch exceptions in the
code generator since Janino was breaking with the test data I tried this
patch on.

Tested with unit tests and by doing a count a very wide table (20k columns)
with many partitions.

Spark SQL

This module provides support for executing relational queries expressed in either SQL or the DataFrame/Dataset API.

Spark SQL is broken up into four subprojects:

  • Catalyst (sql/catalyst) - An implementation-agnostic framework for manipulating trees of relational operators and expressions.
  • Execution (sql/core) - A query planner / execution engine for translating Catalyst's logical query plans into Spark RDDs. This component also includes a new public interface, SQLContext, that allows users to execute SQL or LINQ statements against existing RDDs and Parquet files.
  • Hive Support (sql/hive) - Includes an extension of SQLContext called HiveContext that allows users to write queries using a subset of HiveQL and access data from a Hive Metastore using Hive SerDes. There are also wrappers that allows users to run queries that include Hive UDFs, UDAFs, and UDTFs.
  • HiveServer and CLI support (sql/hive-thriftserver) - Includes support for the SQL CLI (bin/spark-sql) and a HiveServer2 (for JDBC/ODBC) compatible server.
