Wenchen Fan be375fcbd2 [SPARK-12879] [SQL] improve the unsafe row writing framework
As we begin to use unsafe row writing framework(`BufferHolder` and `UnsafeRowWriter`) in more and more places(`UnsafeProjection`, `UnsafeRowParquetRecordReader`, `GenerateColumnAccessor`, etc.), we should add more doc to it and make it easier to use.

This PR abstract the technique used in `UnsafeRowParquetRecordReader`: avoid unnecessary operatition as more as possible. For example, do not always point the row to the buffer at the end, we only need to update the size of row. If all fields are of primitive type, we can even save the row size updating. Then we can apply this technique to more places easily.

a local benchmark shows `UnsafeProjection` is up to 1.7x faster after this PR:

**new version**

unsafe projection:                 Avg Time(ms)    Avg Rate(M/s)  Relative Rate

single long                             1533.34           175.07         1.00 X
single nullable long                    2306.73           116.37         0.66 X
primitive types                         8403.93            31.94         0.18 X
nullable primitive types               12448.39            21.56         0.12 X
```

For single non-nullable long(the best case), we can have about 1.7x speed up. Even it's nullable, we can still have 1.3x speed up. For other cases, it's not such a boost as the saved operations only take a little proportion of the whole process.  The benchmark code is included in this PR.

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"

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.

catalyst$ build/sbt hive/console

scala> val query = sql("SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM src) a")
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])
