@maziyarpanahi I add it the documentation and remove one commit that was from other branch

@xusliebana the references to CHUNK in test should change to DOCUMENT.

@maziyarpanahi @xusliebana , don't you guys think that the name for this trait could be HasVariableCountInputAnnotationCols

HasInputAnnotationCols already supports multiple input columns, the main change I see here is that the number of columns will no longer be defined in a 'declarative' fashion inside the library, but in a more dynamic way by the user, during annotator setup.

@albertoandreottiATgmail Yes, that totally makes sense! I'll leave it to you and @xusliebana to rename this and the unit tests. (@xusliebana you can directly fix the changes inside release/333-release-candidate branch)

@albertoandreottiATgmail Could you please also review removing final from final def setInputCols()? I am not sure why we used final so I want to be sure removing it won't be risky in some scenarios.
