--------------------------------------------------------------------

I have attached some performance testing code.

In this setup RangeJoin is 13-50 times faster than the Cartesian/Filter combination. However the performance profile is a bit unexpected. The fewer records in the broadcasted, side the faster it is. This is opposite to my expectations, because RangeJoin should have a bigger advantage when the number of broadcasted rows are larger. I am looking into this.

> Currently Spark SQL uses a Broadcast Nested Loop join (or a filtered Cartesian Join) when it has to execute the following range query:
> {noformat}
> SELECT A.*,
>        B.*
> FROM   tableA A
>        JOIN tableB B
>         ON A.start <= B.end
>          AND A.end > B.start
> {noformat}
> This is horribly inefficient. The performance of this query can be greatly improved, when one of the tables can be broadcasted, by creating a range index. A range index is basically a sorted map containing the rows of the smaller table, indexed by both the high and low keys. using this structure the complexity of the query would go from O(N * M) to O(N * 2 * LOG(M)), N = number of records in the larger table, M = number of records in the smaller (indexed) table.
> I have created a pull request for this. According to the [Spark SQL: Relational Data Processing in Spark|http://people.csail.mit.edu/matei/papers/2015/sigmod_spark_sql.pdf] paper similar work (page 11, section 7.2) has already been done by the ADAM project (cannot locate the code though). 
> Any comments and/or feedback are greatly appreciated.
