Description

From spark-shell, isStatistics and isExplain can be called from MLContext instance to indicate whether statistics or explain output are enabled.

scala> ml.isStatistics
res3: Boolean = false
scala> ml.isExplain
res4: Boolean = false

For consistency, they should also be supported in pyspark.
