Joseph K. Bradley commented on SPARK-9622:
------------------------------------------

OK, before you do though, it'd be worth discussing how those variances should 
be returned.  E.g., just a Double column of variances?  Pros: Simple, 
applicable to other distributions if we ever move beyond Variance (=Gaussian) 
as an impurity.  Cons: Not extensible if we use other distributions and want to 
return more details about the distribution.

Those are my thoughts.  Currently, a Double column of variances seems best to 
me.  But it'd be nice to hear your thoughts.
