Bryan Cutler updated SPARK-15018:
---------------------------------
Description:
When fitting a PySpark Pipeline with no stages, it should work as an identity
transformer. Instead the following error is raised:
{noformat}
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./spark/python/pyspark/ml/base.py", line 64, in fit
return self._fit(dataset)
File "./spark/python/pyspark/ml/pipeline.py", line 99, in _fit
for stage in stages:
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable
{noformat}
The param {{stages}} needs to be an empty list and {{getStages}} should call
{{getOrDefault}}.
Also, since the default value is {{None}} is then changed to and empty list
{{[]}}, this never changes the value if passed in as a keyword argument.
Instead, the {{kwargs}} value should be changed directly if {{stages is None}}.
For example
{noformat}
if stages is None:
stages = []
{noformat}
should be this
{noformat}
if stages is None:
kwargs['stages'] = []
{noformat}
However, since there is no default value in the Scala implementation, assigning
a default here is not needed and should be cleaned up.
