Joseph K. Bradley commented on SPARK-3728:
------------------------------------------
I was actually thinking of closing this issue. I originally made it since
Sequoia Forests support this feature, but I have not heard of real use cases
for it. If you have use cases, it'd be good to hear about. Otherwise, I think
we should focus on improvements to in-memory use cases.

> Key: SPARK-3728

> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: MLlib
> Reporter: Joseph K. Bradley

> Proposal: Write trees to disk as they are learned.
> RandomForest currently uses a FIFO queue, which means training all trees at
> once via breadth-first search. Using a FILO queue would encourage the code
> to finish one tree before moving on to new ones. This would allow the code
> to write trees to disk as they are learned.
> Note: It would also be possible to write nodes to disk as they are learned
> using a FIFO queue, once the example--node mapping is cached [JIRA]. The
> [Sequoia Forest package]() does this. However, it could be useful to learn
> trees progressively, so that future functionality such as early stopping
> (training fewer trees than expected) could be supported.
