 `HashingTF` is a `Transformer` which takes sets of terms and converts those 
sets into 
 fixed-length feature vectors.  In text processing, a "set of terms" might be a 
bag of words.

trick](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_hashing).

hash function

term frequencies
 are calculated based on the mapped indices. This approach avoids the need to 
compute a global 
 term-to-index map, which can be expensive for a large corpus, but it suffers 
from potential hash 
 collisions, where different raw features may become the same term after 
hashing. To reduce the 
 chance of collision, we can increase the target feature dimension, i.e. the 
number of buckets 
 of the hash table. Since a simple modulo is used to transform the hash 
function to a column index, 
 it is advisable to use a power of two as the feature dimension, otherwise the

 ## QuantileDiscretizer
 
 `QuantileDiscretizer` takes a column with continuous features and outputs a 
column with binned
-categorical features.
-The bin ranges are chosen by taking a sample of the data and dividing it into 
roughly equal parts.
-The lower and upper bin bounds will be `-Infinity` and `+Infinity`, covering 
all real values.
-This attempts to find `numBuckets` partitions based on a sample of the given 
input data, but it may
-find fewer depending on the data sample values.

-Note that the result may be different every time you run it, since the sample 
strategy behind it is

+categorical features. The number of bins is set by the `numBuckets` parameter.
+The bin ranges are chosen using an approximate algorithm (see the 
documentation for
+[approxQuantile](api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrameStatFunctions)
 for a
+detailed description). The precision of the approximation can be controlled 
with the
+`relativeError` parameter. When set to zero, exact quantiles are calculated
+(**Note:** Computing exact quantiles is an expensive operation). The lower and 
upper bin bounds
+will be `-Infinity` and `+Infinity` covering all real values.
