Review comment:
I was going to say I'm not sure as well - as you said there is a small trade
off (also I would mention that for clarity in code I think it is a bit clearer
what the field is this way as opposed to doing the computation beforehand).
However, I noticed this field isn't even used anywhere, it's just there for
clarity, in here:
mllib/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/ml/tree/impl/RandomForest.scala
we get a single subsample count and weight and they are passed separately to
another method orderedBinSeqOp or mixedBinSeqOp
I guess it's nice to have this method for clarity or debugging but if it's
not used maybe I should just get rid of it altogether to limit confusion? What
are your thoughts on this?
