Logistic Regression-Linear Features I was reading this post on quora https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-advantages-of-different-classification-algorithms 
It states here that :-"Logistic regression is a pretty well-behaved classification algorithm that can be trained as long as you expect your features to be roughly linear and the problem to be linearly separable"
What does it mean to have features linear?. Another place this comes up in the post is "Tree Ensembles have different advantages over LogisticR. One main advantage is that they do not expect linear features"
I am not sure what does linear features mean?
 A: I think the term they used may not be standard term. I guess it means the decision boundary can be roughly approximated by a heyperplane. (a line in 2D space). Here are two examples for "linear feature" (A) or not (B) in 2 dimensional sapce.

Here is my answer to a very related question, which may be helpful for you.
Do all machine learning algorithms separate data linearly?
A: For another view of linear separability (assuming that's what linear features means) imagine you have a simple dataset with sex as a binary, categorical covariate and results as a binary outcome of some experiment.
sex   outcome
m     1  
m     1
m     0
f     0
f     0
f     0

For binary response data (i.e. like this), it's common to use a logistic regression to model, among other things, the probability of outcome = 1 given sex. However, what if your input was sex = f. Then: 
$$P(\text{outcome} = 1 | \text{sex} = f) = 0$$
because we have no training examples of this ever happening. In this way, we say that the data is linearly separable per @hxd1011's image above.
In fact, if you tried to fit a logistic regression you'd likely get an error because the MLE estimates tend to infinity (unless your computer software has a parameter which stops the algorithm, usually IRLS, from continuing to looks for a minimum). If you get data like this and want to use a logistic regression, you can look into penalized logistic regression. Here is nice write up about it.
