> Spark ML trees and ensembles can be given metadata (e.g., from VectorIndexer) indicating that a certain feature is categorical with a single possible value.  This causes learning to fail.
> Proposal: For now, fix this by making sure the algorithm still runs with such a feature, and remove the checks (which currently cause failure).  In the future, we can filter out these features to improve performance when there are many useless features.
