Yanbo Liang commented on SPARK-17136:
-------------------------------------

Yes, only first order optimizer can scale well in number of features, so only 
this case should be taken into consideration. I recently worked on SPARK-10078  
to support vector-free L-BFGS as optimizer for Spark which also involves the 
design of optimizer interface. So I can give a try for this issue too.
I will make a investigation on how other packages in Python/R/Matlab defining 
the interface firstly, post the findings here and then we can discuss how to 
design the optimizer interface for Spark. Thanks!

> We should consider designing an interface that allows users to use their own 
> optimizers in some of the ML algorithms, similar to MLlib.
