Sean Owen commented on SPARK-5598: ---------------------------------- [~mengxr] No, no other tool could usefully read such a PMML file. The only argument for it would be consistency: you probably need *some* file to hold some metadata about the model, so, you could just use PMML rather than also invent another format for that too. The actual data can't feasibly be serialized in PMML since it would be far too large as XML. I'm not suggesting that text-based serialization of the vectors should be used; I was pointing more to the PMML container idea. Yes, if this only concerns data that will only be written/read by Spark, and is not intended for export, there isn't any value at all in PMML. I thought this might be covering model export, meaning, for some kind of external consumption. In that case, there's no good answer, but at least reusing PMML for the container could have small value. > Model import/export for ALS > --------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-5598 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-5598 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: MLlib > Affects Versions: 1.3.0 > Reporter: Joseph K.
