It basically moved the private ColumnStatisticsAggregator class from RowMatrix to public available DeveloperApi with documentation and unitests.

Changes:
1) Moved the private implementation from org.apache.spark.mllib.linalg.ColumnStatisticsAggregator to org.apache.spark.mllib.stat.MultivariateOnlineSummarizer
2) When creating OnlineSummarizer object, the number of columns is not needed in the constructor. It's determined when users add the first sample.
3) Added the APIs documentation for MultivariateOnlineSummarizer.
4) Added the unittests for MultivariateOnlineSummarizer.

Patch introduces the new way of working also retaining the existing ways of doing things.

For example build instruction for yarn in maven is
`mvn -Pyarn -PHadoop2.2 clean package -DskipTests`
in sbt it can become
`MAVEN_PROFILES="yarn, hadoop-2.2" sbt/sbt clean assembly`
Also supports
`sbt/sbt -Pyarn -Phadoop-2.2 -Dhadoop.version=2.2.0 clean assembly`

Two improvements to the history server:

- Separate the HTTP handling from history fetching, so that it's easy to add
  new backends later (thinking about SPARK-1537 in the long run)

- Avoid loading all UIs in memory. Do lazy loading instead, keeping a few in
  memory for faster access. This allows the app limit to go away, since holding
  just the listing in memory shouldn't be too expensive unless the user has millions
  of completed apps in the history (at which point I'd expect other issues to arise
  aside from history server memory usage, such as FileSystem.listStatus()
  starting to become ridiculously expensive).

I also fixed a few minor things along the way which aren't really worth mentioning.
I also removed the app's log path from the UI since that information may not even
exist depending on which backend is used (even though there is only one now).

This PR accomplishes two things:

1. It introduces a Synthetic Benchmark application that generates an arbitrarily large log-normal graph and executes either PageRank or connected components on the graph.  This can be used to profile GraphX system on arbitrary clusters without access to large graph datasets

2. This PR improves the implementation of the log-normal graph generator.

This patch does a few things:
1. We have a file MimaExcludes.scala exclusively for excludes.
2. The test runner tells users about that file if a test fails.
3. I've added back the excludes used from 0.9->1.0. We should keep
   these in the project as an official audit trail of times where
   we decided to make exceptions.
