Our new build machines (e.g., beefy) have more cores than our other machines,
so scan nodes may have a different memory estimate causing the explain tests
to fail. This patch fixes the num_scanner_threads to 1 for explain tests
to ensure consisteny estimates.

The overall goal of this change allow for table metadata to be loaded in the background
but also to allow prioritization of loading on an as-needed basis. As part of analysis,
any tables that are not loaded are tracked and if analysis fails the Impalad will make
an RPC to the CatalogServer to requiest the metadata loading of these tables be
prioritized and analysis will be restarted.
To support this, the CatalogServer now has a deque of the tables to load. For
background loading, tables to load are added to the tail of the deque. However, a new
CatalogServer RPC was added that can prioritize the loading of one or more tables in
which case they will get added to the head of the deque. The next table to load is
always taken from the head. This helps prioritize loading but is admittedly not the most
fair approach.
The support the prioritized loading, some changes had to made on the Impalad side during
analysis:
- During analysis, any tables that are missing metadata are tracked.
- Analysis now runs in a loop. If it fails due to an AnalysisException AND at least 1
table/view was missing metadata, these tables missing metadata are requested to be
loaded by calling the CatalogServer.
- The impalad will wait until the required tables are received (by getting notified each
time there is a call to updateCatalog()), and waiting to run analysis until all tables
are available. Once the tables are available, analysis will restart.
This change also introduces two new flags:
--load_catalog_in_background (bool). When this is true (the default) the catalog server
will run a period background thread to queue all unloaded tables for loading. This is
generally the desired behavior, but there may be some cases (very large metastores) where
this may need to be disabled.
--num_metadata_loading_threads (int32). The number of threads to use when loading catalog
metadata (degree of parallelism). The default is 16, but it can be increased to improve
performance at the cost of stressing the Hive metastore/HDFS.

There are now 4 explain levels summarized as follows:
- Level 0: MINIMAL
Non-fragmented parallel plan only showing plan nodes with minimal attributes
- Level 1: STANDARD
Non-fragmented parallel plan with some details in plan nodes
- Level 2: EXTENDED
Non-fragmented parallel plan with full details in plan nodes including
the table/column stats, row size, #hosts, cardinality,
and estimated per-host memory requirement
- Level 3: VERBOSE
Fragmented parallel plan with full details (like level 2)
This patch also includes several bugfixes related to plan costing and/or
testing of explain plans.
