Sean Zhong a425a37a5d [SPARK-17426][SQL] Refactor TreeNode.toJSON to avoid OOM when converting unknown fields to JSON
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

This PR is a follow up of SPARK-17356. Current implementation of `TreeNode.toJSON` recursively converts all fields of TreeNode to JSON, even if the field is of type `Seq` or type Map. This may trigger out of memory exception in cases like:

1. the Seq or Map can be very big. Converting them to JSON may take huge memory, which may trigger out of memory error.
2. Some user space input may also be propagated to the Plan. The user space input can be of arbitrary type, and may also be self-referencing. Trying to print user space input to JSON may trigger out of memory error or stack overflow error.

For a code example, please check the Jira description of SPARK-17426.

In this PR, we refactor the `TreeNode.toJSON` so that we only convert a field to JSON string if the field is a safe type.

## How was this patch tested?

Unit test.

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.
