spark 2.1 SizeEstimator

/**
 * A trait that allows a class to give [[SizeEstimator]] more accurate size estimation.
 * When a class extends it, [[SizeEstimator]] will query the `estimatedSize` first.
 * If `estimatedSize` does not return [[None]], [[SizeEstimator]] will use the returned size
 * as the size of the object. Otherwise, [[SizeEstimator]] will do the estimation work.
 * The difference between a [[KnownSizeEstimation]] and
 * [[org.apache.spark.util.collection.SizeTracker]] is that, a
 * [[org.apache.spark.util.collection.SizeTracker]] still uses [[SizeEstimator]] to
 * estimate the size. However, a [[KnownSizeEstimation]] can provide a better estimation without
 * using [[SizeEstimator]].
