Jatinpreet Singh updated SPARK-3614:
------------------------------------
    Description: 
The IDF class in MLlib does not provide the capability of defining a minimum 
number of documents a term should appear in the corpus. The idea is to have a 
cutoff variable which defines this minimum occurrence value, and the terms 
which have lower frequency are ignored.

Mathematically,
IDF(t,D)=log( (|D|+1)/(DF(t,D)+1) ), for DF(t,D) >=minimumOccurance


where, 
D is the total number of documents in the corpus
DF(t,D) is the number of documents that contain the term t
minimumOccurance is the minimum number of documents the term appears in the 
document corpus

This would have an impact on accuracy as terms that appear in less than a 
certain limit of documents, have low or no importance in TFIDF vectors.
