> The current statement in the user guide may deliver confusing messages to 
> users. spark.ml contains high-level APIs for building ML pipelines. But it 
> doesn't mean that spark.mllib is being deprecated.
> First of all, the pipeline API is in its alpha stage and we need to see more 
> use cases from the community to stabilizes it, which may take several 
> releases. Secondly, the components in spark.ml are simple wrappers over 
> spark.mllib implementations. Neither the APIs or the implementations from 
> spark.mllib are being deprecated. We expect users use spark.ml pipeline APIs 
> to build their ML pipelines, but we will keep supporting and adding features 
> to spark.mllib. For example, there are many features in review at 
> https://spark-prs.appspot.com/#mllib. So users should be comfortable with 
> using spark.mllib features and expect more coming. The user guide needs to be 
> updated to make the message clear.
