[SPARK-5254][MLLIB] Update the user guide to position spark.ml better
The current statement in the user guide may deliver confusing messages to
users. spark.ml contains high-level APIs for building ML pipelines. But it
doesn't mean that spark.mllib is being deprecated.
First of all, the pipeline API is in its alpha stage and we need to see
more use cases from the community to stabilizes it, which may take several
releases. Secondly, the components in spark.ml are simple wrappers over
spark.mllib implementations. Neither the APIs or the implementations from
spark.mllib are being deprecated. We expect users use spark.ml pipeline APIs to
build their ML pipelines, but we will keep supporting and adding features to
spark.mllib. For example, there are many features in review at
https://spark-prs.appspot.com/#mllib. So users should be comfortable with using
spark.mllib features and expect more coming. The user guide needs to be updated
to make the message clear.
