-------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
> ML StringIndexer does not work with nested fields

> Key: SPARK-18783

> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: ML
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: manuel garrido
>
> Using StringIndexer.transform with a nested field (from parsing json data)
> results in the output dataframe not having the new column.

> {'city': u'Overpelt',
> 'device': {u'make': u'Samsung',
> u'os': u'Android'}
> }
