Joseph K. Bradley commented on SPARK-13969:
-------------------------------------------

I think HashingTF could be extended to handle this in two steps:
* Handle more input types [SPARK-11107]
* Accept multiple input columns [SPARK-8418]

> Extend input format that feature hashing can handle

> Currently {{HashingTF}} works like {{CountVectorizer}} (the equivalent in 
> scikit-learn is {{HashingVectorizer}}). That is, it works on a sequence of 
> strings and computes term frequencies.
> The use cases for feature hashing extend to arbitrary feature values (binary, 
> count or real-valued). For example, scikit-learn's {{FeatureHasher}} can 
> accept a sequence of (feature_name, value) pairs (e.g. a map, list). In this 
> way, feature hashing can operate as both "one-hot encoder" and "vector 
> assembler" at the same time.
> Investigate adding a more generic feature hasher (that in turn can be used by 
> {{HashingTF}}).
