Review comment: I'll add a link and a section to machine-learning.adoc showing how to integrate with math expressions. This is is now the key machine learning feature in Solr and its fits quite nicely with streaming expressions and math expressions. I'll add the docs after the patch lands. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
