Burak Yavuz 5282bae040 [SPARK-21153] Use project instead of expand in tumbling windows
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

Time windowing in Spark currently performs an Expand + Filter, because there is no way to guarantee the amount of windows a timestamp will fall in, in the general case. However, for tumbling windows, a record is guaranteed to fall into a single bucket. In this case, doubling the number of records with Expand is wasteful, and can be improved by using a simple Projection instead.

Benchmarks show that we get an order of magnitude performance improvement after this patch.

## How was this patch tested?

Existing unit tests. Benchmarked using the following code:

```scala
import org.apache.spark.sql.functions._

spark.time {
  spark.range(numRecords)
    .select(from_unixtime((current_timestamp().cast("long") * 1000 + 'id / 1000) / 1000) as 'time)
    .select(window('time, "10 seconds"))
    .count()
}
```

Setup:
 - 1 c3.2xlarge worker (8 cores)

1 B rows ran in 287 seconds after this optimization. I didn't wait for it to finish without the optimization. Shows about 5x improvement for large number of records.

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.
