https://github.com/apache/madlib/pull/295
Should impurity_var_importance always add up to 100?
From the regression example in the user docs:
```
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS mt_imp_output;
SELECT madlib.get_var_importance('mt_cars_output','mt_imp_output');
SELECT am, impurity_var_importance FROM mt_imp_output ORDER BY am,
impurity_var_importance DESC;
```
results in
```
am | impurity_var_importance
