Just to clarify, this is just to prevent recomputation of the error from 
previous trees in the computeError methods right?. More specifically lines like 
these.

https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/mllib/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/mllib/tree/GradientBoostedTrees.scala#L198
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/mllib/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/mllib/tree/GradientBoostedTrees.scala#L203
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/mllib/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/mllib/tree/GradientBoostedTrees.scala#L233

Or is there anything more to this?

> In gradient boosting, the current model's prediction is re-computed for each 
> training instance on every iteration.  The current residual (cumulative 
> prediction of previously trained trees in the ensemble) should be cached.  
> That could reduce both computation (only computing the prediction of the most 
> recently trained tree) and communication (only sending the most recently 
> trained tree to the workers).
