Karl Higley commented on SPARK-7857:
------------------------------------

That does seem like the intent of the test.  I started scratching my head when 
I noticed that [the minDocFreq is set to 
1|https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/mllib/src/test/scala/org/apache/spark/mllib/feature/IDFSuite.scala#L73],
 and that none of the terms seem to be filtered out.

> IDF w/ minDocFreq on SparseVectors results in literal zeros

> When the IDF model's minDocFreq parameter is set to a non-zero threshold, the 
> IDF for any feature below that threshold is set to zero.  When the model is 
> used to transform a set of SparseVectors containing that feature, the 
> resulting SparseVectors contain entries whose values are zero.  The zero 
> entries should be omitted in order to simplify downstream processing.
