             Summary: Support squared hinge loss (L2 loss) for LinearSVC
                 Key: SPARK-20348
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-20348
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: ML
    Affects Versions: 2.2.0
            Reporter: yuhao yang
            Priority: Minor


While Hinge loss is the standard loss function for linear SVM, Squared hinge 
loss (a.k.a. L2 loss) is also popular in practice. L2-SVM is differentiable and 
imposes a bigger (quadratic vs. linear) loss for points which violate the 
margin. Some introduction can be found from 
http://mccormickml.com/2015/01/06/what-is-an-l2-svm/

Liblinear and [scikit 
learn|http://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.svm.LinearSVC.html]
 both offer squared hinge loss as the default loss function for linear SVM.
