> This is useful to check whether a feature exists in some version of Spark. This is an umbrella JIRA to track the progress. We want to have -@since tag- @Since annotation for both stable (those without any Experimental/DeveloperApi/AlphaComponent annotations) and experimental methods in MLlib:
> (Do NOT tag private or package private classes or methods, nor local variables and methods.)
> * an example PR for Scala: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/8309
> We need to dig the history of git commit to figure out what was the Spark version when a method was first introduced. Take `NaiveBayes.setModelType` as an example. We can grep `def setModelType` at different version git tags.

> $ git show v1.4.0:mllib/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/mllib/classification/NaiveBayes.scala | grep "def setModelType"
>   def setModelType(modelType: String): NaiveBayes = {
> {code}
> If there are better ways, please let us know.
> We cannot add all -@since tags- @Since annotation in a single PR, which is hard to review. So we made some subtasks for each package, for example `org.apache.spark.classification`. Feel free to add more sub-tasks for Python and the `spark.ml` package.
> Plan:
> 1. In 1.5, we try to add @Since annotation to all stable/experimental methods under `spark.mllib`.
> 2. Starting from 1.6, we require @Since annotation in all new PRs.
> 3. In 1.6, we try to add @SInce annotation to all stable/experimental methods under `spark.ml`, `pyspark.mllib`, and `pyspark.ml`.
