## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

This pull-request exclusively includes the class splitting feature described in #16648. When code for a given class would grow beyond 1600k bytes, a private, nested sub-class is generated into which subsequent functions are inlined. Additional sub-classes are generated as the code threshold is met subsequent times. This code includes 3 changes:

1. Includes helper maps, lists, and functions for keeping track of sub-classes during code generation (included in the `CodeGenerator` class). These helper functions allow nested classes and split functions to be initialized/declared/inlined to the appropriate locations in the various projection classes.
2. Changes `addNewFunction` to return a string to support instances where a split function is inlined to a nested class and not the outer class (and so must be invoked using the class-qualified name). Uses of `addNewFunction` throughout the codebase are modified so that the returned name is properly used.
3. Removes instances of the `this` keyword when used on data inside generated classes. All state declared in the outer class is by default global and accessible to the nested classes. However, if a reference to global state in a nested class is prepended with the `this` keyword, it would attempt to reference state belonging to the nested class (which would not exist), rather than the correct variable belonging to the outer class.

## How was this patch tested?

Added a test case to the `GeneratedProjectionSuite` that increases the number of columns tested in various projections to a threshold that would previously have triggered a `JaninoRuntimeException` for the Constant Pool.

Note: This PR does not address the second Constant Pool issue with code generation (also mentioned in #16648): excess global mutable state. A second PR may be opened to resolve that issue.

Apache Spark

Spark is a fast and general cluster computing system for Big Data. It provides high-level APIs in Scala, Java, Python, and R, and an optimized engine that supports general computation graphs for data analysis. It also supports a rich set of higher-level tools including Spark SQL for SQL and DataFrames, MLlib for machine learning, GraphX for graph processing, and Spark Streaming for stream processing.

Online Documentation

You can find the latest Spark documentation, including a programming guide, on the project web page. This README file only contains basic setup instructions.

Building Spark

Spark is built using Apache Maven. To build Spark and its example programs, run:

build/mvn -DskipTests clean package

(You do not need to do this if you downloaded a pre-built package.)

You can build Spark using more than one thread by using the -T option with Maven, see "Parallel builds in Maven 3". More detailed documentation is available from the project site, at "Building Spark".

For general development tips, including info on developing Spark using an IDE, see "Useful Developer Tools".

Interactive Scala Shell

The easiest way to start using Spark is through the Scala shell:

./bin/spark-shell

Try the following command, which should return 1000:

scala> sc.parallelize(1 to 1000).count()

Interactive Python Shell

Alternatively, if you prefer Python, you can use the Python shell:

./bin/pyspark

And run the following command, which should also return 1000:

>>> sc.parallelize(range(1000)).count()

Example Programs

Spark also comes with several sample programs in the examples directory. To run one of them, use ./bin/run-example <class> [params]. For example:

./bin/run-example SparkPi

will run the Pi example locally.

You can set the MASTER environment variable when running examples to submit examples to a cluster. This can be a mesos:// or spark:// URL, "yarn" to run on YARN, and "local" to run locally with one thread, or "local[N]" to run locally with N threads. You can also use an abbreviated class name if the class is in the examples package. For instance:

MASTER=spark://host:7077 ./bin/run-example SparkPi

Many of the example programs print usage help if no params are given.

Running Tests

Testing first requires building Spark. Once Spark is built, tests can be run using:

./dev/run-tests

Please see the guidance on how to run tests for a module, or individual tests.

A Note About Hadoop Versions

Spark uses the Hadoop core library to talk to HDFS and other Hadoop-supported storage systems. Because the protocols have changed in different versions of Hadoop, you must build Spark against the same version that your cluster runs.

Please refer to the build documentation at "Specifying the Hadoop Version" for detailed guidance on building for a particular distribution of Hadoop, including building for particular Hive and Hive Thriftserver distributions.

Configuration

Please refer to the Configuration Guide in the online documentation for an overview on how to configure Spark.
