John Snow Labs Spark-NLP 1.2.5

Note: Pipelines from 1.2.4 or older cannot be loaded from 1.2.5

New features

• #70
  Word embeddings parameter for CRF NER annotator
• #78
  Annotator Features replace spark Params and are now serialized using Kryo and partitioned parquet files, increases performance and smaller memory consumption in Driver for saving and loading pipelines with large corpora. Such features are now also broadcasted for better performance in distributed environments. This enhancement is a breaking change, does not allow to load older pipelines
