Sean Owen commented on SPARK-19962:
-----------------------------------
Well, it's maintained by the StringIndexerModel for you.
What's your non-integer, non-string use case that can't be converted to a
string but is categorical?
> add DictVectorizor for DataFrame
> --------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-19962
> 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',
> hobbies=['sing', 'dance']),Row(age=3, gender='female', country='us',
> hobbies=['sing']), ])
> import DictVectorizor
> vec = DictVectorizor()
> matrix = vec.fit_transform(df)
> matrix.show()
> |features|
> |[1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1]|
> |[3, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1]|
> vec.show()
> |feature_name| feature_dimension|
> |age|0|
> |gender=female|1|
> |gender=male|2|
> |country=us|3|
> |country=cn|4|
> |hobbies=sing|5|
> |hobbies=dance|6|
> ```
