Cheng Lian updated SPARK-1669:
------------------------------

    Description: 
Calling {{cacheTable()}} on some table {{t}} multiple times causes table {{t}} 
to  be cached multiple times. This semantics is different from {{RDD.cache()}}, 
which is idempotent.

We can check whether a table is already cached by checking:

# whether the structure of the underlying logical plan of the table is matches 
the pattern {{Subquery(\_, SparkLogicalPlan(inMem @ 
InMemoryColumnarTableScan(_, _)))}}
# whether {{inMem.cachedColumnBuffers.getStorageLevel.useMemory}} is true
