Hey Xiangrui, why have a MLContext at all? Why not just make the input
methods part of MLUtils? This is the pattern we've followed with other input
methods (e.g. KafkaUtils and TwitterUtils in Spark Streaming), and I think it
will make more sense long-term. An MLContext isn't actually a SparkContext so
it's weird to also call it a context.
