Review Comment:
   Thanks for the insightful comments. We probably need more discussions.
   
   > move CacheDataAndDoTrain to an independent class
   
   It is an dependent class in the old PR. Do you mean to merge it with 
LocalTrainer and WithRegularization?
   
   > merge LocalTrainer and WithRegularization and remove methods like getReg, 
as now they are only used internally
   
   It seems hard to merge these two class, because the logic of 
`WithRegularization` is supposed to be used in `LocalTrainer#updateModel`. I 
have renamed `WithRegularization` as `RegularizationUtils` and removed methods 
like `withReg`. What do you think?
   
   > rename the merged class. A name like LocalTrainer might be too general to 
be associated with linear algorithms.
   
   I have renamed the class to `LocalLinearTrainer`. I still think it is not a 
very good name. We could probably discuss more on the naming.
   
   > merge CacheDataAndDoTrain, LocalTrainer and WithRegularization.
   
   I did not merge `CacheDataAndDoTrain` with the other two for now for the 
following reasons:
   - `CacheDataAndDoTrain` is a more a infra and involves distributed concepts, 
like two input operators.
   - `LocalTrainer` is a more friendly and clean concept for machine learning 
users, since it only involves local operations.
   
   > change the API and implementation of trainOnBatchData. I have the sense 
that each time only one data, instead of a batch of data, is enough. I think 
the API of org.apache.flink.api.common.functions.AggregateFunction is a good 
reference.
   
   I did not do the change for the following reasons:
   - mini-batch training is a common concept for machine learning.
   - Users may want to do operations before/after mini-batch training.
