Eric Liang 8e558041aa [SPARK-19820][CORE] Add interface to kill tasks w/ a reason
This commit adds a killTaskAttempt method to SparkContext, to allow users to
kill tasks so that they can be re-scheduled elsewhere.

This also refactors the task kill path to allow specifying a reason for the task kill. The reason is propagated opaquely through events, and will show up in the UI automatically as `(N killed: $reason)` and `TaskKilled: $reason`. Without this change, there is no way to provide the user feedback through the UI.

Currently used reasons are "stage cancelled", "another attempt succeeded", and "killed via SparkContext.killTask". The user can also specify a custom reason through `SparkContext.killTask`.

In the stage overview UI the reasons are summarized:

Within the stage UI you can see individual task kill reasons:

Existing tests, tried killing some stages in the UI and verified the messages are as expected.

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.
