> In spark.mllib, GBT validationTol uses absolute tolerance.  Relative tolerance is arguably easier to set in a meaningful way.  Questions:
> * Should we change spark.mllib's validationTol meaning?
> * Should we use relative tolerance in spark.ml's GBT (once we add validation support)?
> I would vote for changing both to relative tolerance, where the tolerance is relative to the current loss on the training set.
