Spark ML Decision Trees Algorithm
Which algorithm is used under the covers while doing decision trees FOR
SPARK ?
for example: scikit-learn (python) uses an optimised version of the CART
algorithm.

Perhaps the best way is to read the code.
The Decision tree is implemented by 1-tree Random forest, whose entry point
is `run` method:
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/mllib/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/ml/tree/impl/RandomForest.scala#L88
I'm not familiar with the so-called algorithms of decision tree, such as
ID4, CART. However, I believe that the implementation of decision tree of
sklearn is quite similar with those of spark, and some difference are
listed below:
1. Continuous feature.
sklearn use all candidate values to find best split, while spark groups
all candidate values into fixed bins.
2. Build tree.
sklearn provides two methods: depth-first and best-first, while spark
has only one: depth-first.
3. Split number.
sklearn creates one split per iteration, while spark could split in
parallel.
If I'm wrong, please let me know.

It would be good to know which paper has inspired to implement the version
which we use in spark 2.0 decision trees ?

It's a good question. People have been publishing papers on decision trees
and various methods of constructing and pruning them for over 30 years. I
think it's rather a question for a historian at this point.

Read this explanation but wondering if this algorithm has the base from a
research paper for detail understanding.

The documentation details the algorithm being used at
http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/mllib-decision-tree.html
Thanks,

Is there a reference to the research paper which is implemented in spark
2.0 ?
