-------------------------------------------

IMO, this would be nice to have someday but is not high priority right now.

> We currently restrict decision trees (DecisionTree, GBT, RandomForest) to be of maxDepth <= 30.  We should remove this restriction to support deep (imbalanced) trees.
> Trees store an index for each node, where each index corresponds to a unique position in a binary tree.  (I.e., the first index of row 0 is 1, the first of row 1 is 2, the first of row 2 is 4, etc., IIRC)
> With some careful thought, we could probably avoid using indices altogether.
