To ensure the diversity of each individual tree, Random Forest uses two methods:

Sample Bagging: Random forest allows each individual tree to randomly select instances from the dataset with replacement, resulting in different trees. This process is known as bagging.

Feauture Bagging: In decision tree, we consider every possible feature and pick the one that get most gains when splitting each tree node. In contrast, each tree in a random forest can pick only from a random subset of features. This forces even more variation amongst the trees in the model and ultimately results in lower correlation across trees and more diversification.

Caution

Current implementation provides without-replacement sample bagging to complete rf framework quickly. When compared with spark, we also choose the same bagging method. With-replacement bagging will come in later updates.
