[ZEPPELIN-1371]add text/numeric conversion support to table display ### What is this PR for? We people in Twitter have great demand of adding a flexible drop down menu for the columns in the tables which enables the text/numeric conversion. This is because people want some columns to be of string type which, for example, fits to the underlying DB definition. ### What type of PR is it? [Improvement | Feature] ### Todos ### What is the Jira issue? https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZEPPELIN-1371 ### How should this be tested? 1. Click on the dropdown menu would convert the text/number of that column. 2. Other functionalities esp. the sorting function should not be affected. ### Screenshots (if appropriate) https://drive.google.com/a/twitter.com/file/d/0B9QN74Rceec8djV6UXpUeFNyUWM/view?ts=57bf2c11 ### Questions: * Does the licenses files need update?
