Sean Owen commented on SPARK-19962:
-----------------------------------

That sounds like what 
https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/ml-features.html#stringindexer does

> add DictVectorizor for DataFrame

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-19962
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Wish
>          Components: ML
>    Affects Versions: 2.1.0
>            Reporter: yu peng
>              Labels: features
>
> it's really useful to have something like 
> sklearn.feature_extraction.DictVectorizor
> Since out features lives in json/data frame like format and 
> classifier/regressors only take vector input. so there is a gap between them.
> something like 
> ```
> df = sqlCtx.createDataFrame([Row(age=1, gender='male', 
> country='cn'),Row(age=3, gender='female', country='us'), ])
> import DictVectorizor
> vec = DictVectorizor()
> matrix = vec.fit_transform(df)
> matrix.show()
> |features|
> |[1, 0, 1, 0, 1]|
> |[3, 1, 0, 1, 0]|
> vec.show()
> |feature_name| feature_dimension|
> |age|0|
> |gender=female|1|
> |gender=male|2|
> |country=us|3|
> |country=cn|4|
> ```
