zhengruifeng opened a new pull request #25926: [SPARK-9612][ML] Add instance 
weight support for GBTs
URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/25926
 
 
   ### What changes were proposed in this pull request?
   add weight support for GBTs by sampling data before passing it to trees and 
then passing weights to trees
   
   in summary:
   1, add setters of `minWeightFractionPerNode` & `weightCol`
   2, update input types in private methods `DecisionTreeRegressor.train`, 
`GradientBoostedTrees.run`, `GradientBoostedTrees.runWithValidation`, 
`GradientBoostedTrees.computeInitialPredictionAndError`, 
`GradientBoostedTrees.computeError`, 
   `GradientBoostedTrees.evaluateEachIteration`, `GradientBoostedTrees.boost`, 
`GradientBoostedTrees.updatePredictionError`: from `RDD[LabeledPoint]` -> 
`RDD[Instance]`
   3, add new private method `GradientBoostedTrees.computeError(data, 
predError)` to compute average error, since original `predError.values.mean()` 
do not take weights into account.
   4, add new tests
   
   ### Why are the changes needed?
   GBTs should support sample weights like other algs
   
   
   ### Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
   yes, new setters are added
   
   ### How was this patch tested?
   existing & added testsuites
