Adds a new method for evaluating expressions using code that is generated though Scala reflection. This functionality is configured by the SQLConf option `spark.sql.codegen` and is currently turned off by default.
Evaluation can be done in several specialized ways:
- *Projection* - Given an input row, produce a new row from a set of expressions that define each column in terms of the input row. This can either produce a new Row object or perform the projection in-place on an existing Row (MutableProjection).
- *Ordering* - Compares two rows based on a list of `SortOrder` expressions
- *Condition* - Returns `true` or `false` given an input row.
For each of the above operations there is both a Generated and Interpreted version. When generation for a given expression type is undefined, the code generator falls back on calling the `eval` function of the expression class. Even without custom code, there is still a potential speed up, as loops are unrolled and code can still be inlined by JIT.
This PR also contains a new type of Aggregation operator, `GeneratedAggregate`, that performs aggregation by using generated `Projection` code. Currently the required expression rewriting only works for simple aggregations like `SUM` and `COUNT`. This functionality will be extended in a future PR.
This PR also performs several clean ups that simplified the implementation:
- The notion of `Binding` all expressions in a tree automatically before query execution has been removed. Instead it is the responsibly of an operator to provide the input schema when creating one of the specialized evaluators defined above. In cases when the standard eval method is going to be called, binding can still be done manually using `BindReferences`. There are a few reasons for this change: First, there were many operators where it just didn't work before. For example, operators with more than one child, and operators like aggregation that do significant rewriting of the expression. Second, the semantics of equality with `BoundReferences` are broken. Specifically, we have had a few bugs where partitioning breaks because of the binding.
- A copy of the current `SQLContext` is automatically propagated to all `SparkPlan` nodes by the query planner. Before this was done ad-hoc for the nodes that needed this. However, this required a lot of boilerplate as one had to always remember to make it `transient` and also had to modify the `otherCopyArgs`.
