    Another thought: This checkpointing logic seems like it will be useful for 
a bunch of algorithms in the future.  It would be nice to abstract it into some 
class which has standard parameters (checkpointInterval, etc.) and a method 
like:
    ```
    def checkpointIfNeeded(dataTransform: RDD -> RDD)
    ```
    which would handle persisting, checkpointing, unpersisting, and removing 
checkpoint files.  It can be a future PR though.  It would be useful for the 
GradientBoosting PR: [https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/2607]
