Josh Rosen f49284b5bf [SPARK-7076][SPARK-7077][SPARK-7080][SQL] Use managed memory for aggregations
This patch adds managed-memory-based aggregation to Spark SQL / DataFrames. Instead of working with Java objects, this new aggregation path uses `sun.misc.Unsafe` to manipulate raw memory.  This reduces the memory footprint for aggregations, resulting in fewer spills, OutOfMemoryErrors, and garbage collection pauses.  As a result, this allows for higher memory utilization.  It can also result in better cache locality since objects will be stored closer together in memory.

This feature can be eanbled by setting `spark.sql.unsafe.enabled=true`.  For now, this feature is only supported when codegen is enabled and only supports aggregations for which the grouping columns are primitive numeric types or strings and aggregated values are numeric.

### Managing memory with sun.misc.Unsafe

This patch supports both on- and off-heap managed memory.

- In on-heap mode, memory addresses are identified by the combination of a base Object and an offset within that object.
- In off-heap mode, memory is addressed directly with 64-bit long addresses.

To support both modes, functions that manipulate memory accept both `baseObject` and `baseOffset` fields.  In off-heap mode, we simply pass `null` as `baseObject`.

We allocate memory in large chunks, so memory fragmentation and allocation speed are not significant bottlenecks.

By default, we use on-heap mode.  To enable off-heap mode, set `spark.unsafe.offHeap=true`.

To track allocated memory, this patch extends `SparkEnv` with an `ExecutorMemoryManager` and supplies each `TaskContext` with a `TaskMemoryManager`.  These classes work together to track allocations and detect memory leaks.

### Compact tuple format

This patch introduces `UnsafeRow`, a compact row layout.  In this format, each tuple has three parts: a null bit set, fixed length values, and variable-length values:

- Rows are always 8-byte word aligned (so their sizes will always be a multiple of 8 bytes)
- The bit set is used for null tracking:
	- Position _i_ is set if and only if field _i_ is null
	- The bit set is aligned to an 8-byte word boundary.
- Every field appears as an 8-byte word in the fixed-length values part:
	- If a field is null, we zero out the values.
	- If a field is variable-length, the word stores a relative offset (w.r.t. the base of the tuple) that points to the beginning of the field's data in the variable-length part.
- Each variable-length data type can have its own encoding:
	- For strings, the first word stores the length of the string and is followed by UTF-8 encoded bytes.  If necessary, the end of the string is padded with empty bytes in order to ensure word-alignment.

For example, a tuple that consists 3 fields of type (int, string, string), with value (null, “data”, “bricks”) would look like this:

![image](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/50748/7328526/1e21959c-ea8b-11e4-9a28-a4350fe4a7b5.png)

This format allows us to compare tuples for equality by directly comparing their raw bytes.  This also enables fast hashing of tuples.

### Hash map for performing aggregations

This patch introduces `UnsafeFixedWidthAggregationMap`, a hash map for performing aggregations where the aggregation result columns are fixed-with.  This map's keys and values are `Row` objects. `UnsafeFixedWidthAggregationMap` is implemented on top of `BytesToBytesMap`, an append-only map which supports byte-array keys and values.

`BytesToBytesMap` stores pointers to key and value tuples.  For each record with a new key, we copy the key and create the aggregation value buffer for that key and put them in a buffer. The hash table then simply stores pointers to the key and value. For each record with an existing key, we simply run the aggregation function to update the values in place.

This map is implemented using open hashing with triangular sequence probing.  Each entry stores two words in a long array: the first word stores the address of the key and the second word stores the relative offset from the key tuple to the value tuple, as well as the key's 32-bit hashcode.  By storing the full hashcode, we reduce the number of equality checks that need to be performed to handle position collisions ()since the chance of hashcode collision is much lower than position collision).

`UnsafeFixedWidthAggregationMap` allows regular Spark SQL `Row` objects to be used when probing the map.  Internally, it encodes these rows into `UnsafeRow` format using `UnsafeRowConverter`.  This conversion has a small overhead that can be eliminated in the future once we use UnsafeRows in other operators.

Spark SQL

This module provides support for executing relational queries expressed in either SQL or a LINQ-like Scala DSL.

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 Catalysts 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.

Other dependencies for developers

In order to create new hive test cases (i.e. a test suite based on HiveComparisonTest), you will need to setup your development environment based on the following instructions.

If you are working with Hive 0.12.0, you will need to set several environmental variables as follows.

export HIVE_HOME="<path to>/hive/build/dist"
export HIVE_DEV_HOME="<path to>/hive/"
export HADOOP_HOME="<path to>/hadoop-1.0.4"

If you are working with Hive 0.13.1, the following steps are needed:

  1. Download Hive's 0.13.1 and set HIVE_HOME with export HIVE_HOME="<path to hive>". Please do not set HIVE_DEV_HOME (See SPARK-4119).
  2. Set HADOOP_HOME with export HADOOP_HOME="<path to hadoop>"
  3. Download all Hive 0.13.1a jars (Hive jars actually used by Spark) from here and replace corresponding original 0.13.1 jars in $HIVE_HOME/lib.
  4. Download Kryo 2.21 jar (Note: 2.22 jar does not work) and Javolution 5.5.1 jar to $HIVE_HOME/lib.
  5. This step is optional. But, when generating golden answer files, if a Hive query fails and you find that Hive tries to talk to HDFS or you find weird runtime NPEs, set the following in your test suite...
val testTempDir = Utils.createTempDir()
// We have to use kryo to let Hive correctly serialize some plans.
sql("set hive.plan.serialization.format=kryo")
// Explicitly set fs to local fs.
sql(s"set fs.default.name=file://$testTempDir/")
// Ask Hive to run jobs in-process as a single map and reduce task.
sql("set mapred.job.tracker=local")

Using the console

An interactive scala console can be invoked by running build/sbt hive/console. From here you can execute queries with HiveQl and manipulate DataFrame by using DSL.

query: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame@74448eed

Query results are DataFrames and can be operated as such.

scala> query.collect()
res2: Array[org.apache.spark.sql.Row] = Array([238,val_238], [86,val_86], [311,val_311], [27,val_27]...

You can also build further queries on top of these DataFrames using the query DSL.

scala> query.where(query("key") > 30).select(avg(query("key"))).collect()
res3: Array[org.apache.spark.sql.Row] = Array([274.79025423728814])
