[SPARK-10077] [DOCS] [ML] Add package info for java of ml/feature

Should be the same as SPARK-7808 but use Java for the code example.
It would be great to add package doc for `spark.ml.feature`.

/**
* Feature transformers
*
* The `ml.feature` package provides common feature transformers that help convert raw data or
* features into more suitable forms for model fitting.
* Most feature transformers are implemented as {@link org.apache.spark.ml.Transformer}s, which
* transforms one {@link org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame} into another, e.g.,
* {@link org.apache.spark.feature.HashingTF}.
* Some feature transformers are implemented as {@link org.apache.spark.ml.Estimator}}s, because the
* transformation requires some aggregated information of the dataset, e.g., document
* frequencies in {@link org.apache.spark.ml.feature.IDF}.
* For those feature transformers, calling {@link org.apache.spark.ml.Estimator#fit} is required to
* obtain the model first, e.g., {@link org.apache.spark.ml.feature.IDFModel}, in order to apply
* transformation.
* The transformation is usually done by appending new columns to the input
* {@link org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame}, so all input columns are carried over.
*
* We try to make each transformer minimal, so it becomes flexible to assemble feature
* transformation pipelines.
* {@link org.apache.spark.ml.Pipeline} can be used to chain feature transformers, and
* {@link org.apache.spark.ml.feature.VectorAssembler} can be used to combine multiple feature
* transformations, for example:
*
* <pre>
* <code>
* import java.util.Arrays;
*
* import org.apache.spark.api.java.JavaRDD;
* import static org.apache.spark.sql.types.DataTypes.*;
* import org.apache.spark.sql.types.StructType;
* import org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame;
* import org.apache.spark.sql.RowFactory;
* import org.apache.spark.sql.Row;
*
* import org.apache.spark.ml.feature.*;
* import org.apache.spark.ml.Pipeline;
* import org.apache.spark.ml.PipelineStage;
* import org.apache.spark.ml.PipelineModel;
*
* // a DataFrame with three columns: id (integer), text (string), and rating (double).
* StructType schema = createStructType(
* Arrays.asList(
* createStructField("id", IntegerType, false),
* createStructField("text", StringType, false),
* createStructField("rating", DoubleType, false)));
* JavaRDD<Row> rowRDD = jsc.parallelize(
* Arrays.asList(
* RowFactory.create(0, "Hi I heard about Spark", 3.0),
* RowFactory.create(1, "I wish Java could use case classes", 4.0),
* RowFactory.create(2, "Logistic regression models are neat", 4.0)));
* DataFrame df = jsql.createDataFrame(rowRDD, schema);
* // define feature transformers
* RegexTokenizer tok = new RegexTokenizer()
* .setInputCol("text")
* .setOutputCol("words");
* StopWordsRemover sw = new StopWordsRemover()
* .setInputCol("words")
* .setOutputCol("filtered_words");
* HashingTF tf = new HashingTF()
* .setInputCol("filtered_words")
* .setOutputCol("tf")
* .setNumFeatures(10000);
* IDF idf = new IDF()
* .setInputCol("tf")
* .setOutputCol("tf_idf");
* VectorAssembler assembler = new VectorAssembler()
* .setInputCols(new String[] {"tf_idf", "rating"})
* .setOutputCol("features");
*
* // assemble and fit the feature transformation pipeline
* Pipeline pipeline = new Pipeline()
* .setStages(new PipelineStage[] {tok, sw, tf, idf, assembler});
* PipelineModel model = pipeline.fit(df);
*
* // save transformed features with raw data
* model.transform(df)
* .select("id", "text", "rating", "features")
* .write().format("parquet").save("/output/path");
* </code>
* </pre>
*
* Some feature transformers implemented in MLlib are inspired by those implemented in scikit-learn.
* The major difference is that most scikit-learn feature transformers operate eagerly on the entire
* input dataset, while MLlib's feature transformers operate lazily on individual columns,
* which is more efficient and flexible to handle large and complex datasets.

* scikit-learn.preprocessing</a>
