    [SPARK-13028] [ML] Add MaxAbsScaler to ML.feature as a transformer

    jira: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-13028
    MaxAbsScaler works in a very similar way as MinMaxScaler, but scales in a 
way that the training data lies within the range [-1, 1] by dividing through 
the largest maximum value in each feature. The motivation to use this scaling 
include robustness to very small standard deviations of features and preserving 
zero entries in sparse data.
    
    Unlike StandardScaler and MinMaxScaler, MaxAbsScaler does not shift/center 
the data, and thus does not destroy any sparsity.
    
    Something similar from sklearn:
