>          Components: ML, MLlib
>    Affects Versions: 2.3.0

> The most of BoundedPriorityQueue usages in ML/MLLIB are:
> Get the value of BoundedPriorityQueue, then sort it.
> For example, in Word2Vec: pq.toSeq.sortBy(-_._2)
> in ALS, pq.toArray.sorted()
> The test results show using pq.poll() is much faster than sort the value.
> For example, in PR https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/18624
> We get the sorted value of pq by the following code:
> {quote}
> var size = pq.size
> while(size > 0) {
> size -= 1
> val factor = pq.poll
> }{quote} 
> If using the generally used methods: pq.toArray.sorted() to get the sorted value of pq. There is about 10% performance reduction. 
> It is good to add the poll function for BoundedPriorityQueue, since many usages of PQ need  the sorted value.
