[SPARK-12212][ML][DOC] Clarifies the difference between spark.ml, spark.mllib and mllib in the documentation. Replaces a number of occurences of `MLlib` in the documentation that were meant to refer to the `spark.mllib` package instead. It should clarify for new users the difference between `spark.mllib` (the package) and MLlib (the umbrella project for ML in spark). It also removes some files that I forgot to delete with #10207 Author: Timothy Hunter <timhunter@databricks.com> Closes #10234 from thunterdb/12212. 2015-12-10 15:50:46 -05:00			`---`

[SPARK-14817][ML][MLLIB][DOC] Made DataFrame-based API primary in MLlib guide ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? Made DataFrame-based API primary * Spark doc menu bar and other places now link to ml-guide.html, not mllib-guide.html * mllib-guide.html keeps RDD-specific list of features, with a link at the top redirecting people to ml-guide.html * ml-guide.html includes a "maintenance mode" announcement about the RDD-based API * Reviewers: please check this carefully * (minor) Titles for DF API no longer include "- spark.ml" suffix. Titles for RDD API have "- RDD-based API" suffix * Moved migration guide to ml-guide from mllib-guide * Also moved past guides from mllib-migration-guides to ml-migration-guides, with a redirect link on mllib-migration-guides * Reviewers: I did not change any of the content of the migration guides. Reorganized DataFrame-based guide: * ml-guide.html mimics the old mllib-guide.html page in terms of content: overview, migration guide, etc. * Moved Pipeline description into ml-pipeline.html and moved tuning into ml-tuning.html * Reviewers: I did not change the content of these guides, except some intro text. * Sidebar remains the same, but with pipeline and tuning sections added Other: * ml-classification-regression.html: Moved text about linear methods to new section in page ## How was this patch tested? Generated docs locally Author: Joseph K. Bradley <joseph@databricks.com> Closes #14213 from jkbradley/ml-guide-2.0. 2016-07-15 16:38:23 -04:00			`title: Multilayer perceptron classifier`
