This adds machine learning model feature importance calculations to the inference processor.
The new flag in the configuration matches the analytics parameter name: `num_top_feature_importance_values`
Example:
```
"inference": {
"field_mappings": {},
"model_id": "my_model",
"inference_config": {
"regression": {
"num_top_feature_importance_values": 3
}
}
}
```
This will write to the document as follows:
```
"inference" : {
"feature_importance" : {
"FlightTimeMin" : -76.90955548511226,
"FlightDelayType" : 114.13514762158526,
"DistanceMiles" : 13.731580450792187
},
"predicted_value" : 108.33165831875137,
"model_id" : "my_model"
}
```
This is done through calculating the [SHAP values](https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.03888).
It requires that models have populated `number_samples` for each tree node. This is not available to models that were created before 7.7.
Additionally, if the inference config is requesting feature_importance, and not all nodes have been upgraded yet, it will not allow the pipeline to be created. This is to safe-guard in a mixed-version environment where only some ingest nodes have been upgraded.
NOTE: the algorithm is a Java port of the one laid out in ml-cpp: https://github.com/elastic/ml-cpp/blob/master/lib/maths/CTreeShapFeatureImportance.cc
