> Several Spark ML algorithms (LogisticRegression, LinearRegression, KMeans, etc) call {{cache()}} on uncached input datasets to improve performance.
> Unfortunately, these algorithms a) check input persistence inaccurately ([SPARK-18608|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-18608]) and b) check the persistence level of the input dataset but not any of its parents. These issues can result in unwanted double-caching of input data & degraded performance (see [SPARK-21799|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-21799]).
> This ticket proposes adding a boolean {{handlePersistence}} param (org.apache.spark.ml.param) so that users can specify whether an ML algorithm should try to cache un-cached input data. {{handlePersistence}} will be {{true}} by default, corresponding to existing behavior (always persisting uncached input), but users can achieve finer-grained control over input persistence by setting {{handlePersistence}} to {{false}}.
