Joseph K. Bradley commented on SPARK-17025:
-------------------------------------------

[~nchammas] I just merged https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/18888 which 
should make this work if the custom Transformer uses simple (JSON-serializable) 
Params to store all of its data.  Does it meet your use case?  I'd like to make 
it easier to implement ML persistence for fancier data types in Transformers 
and Models (like Vectors or DataFrames) in the future, but hopefully this 
unblocks some use cases for now.

>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: ML, PySpark
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.0

> Following the example in [this Databricks blog 
> post|https://databricks.com/blog/2016/05/31/apache-spark-2-0-preview-machine-learning-model-persistence.html]
>  under "Python tuning", I'm trying to save an ML Pipeline model.
> This pipeline, however, includes a custom transformer. When I try to save the 
> model, the operation fails because the custom transformer doesn't have a 
> {{_to_java}} attribute.

>  I see that not even the base Transformer class has such an attribute.
> I'm assuming this is missing functionality that is intended to be patched up 
> (i.e. [like 
> this|https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/acaf2a81ad5238fd1bc81e7be2c328f40c07e755/python/pyspark/ml/classification.py#L1421-L1433]).
> I'm not sure if there is an existing JIRA for this (my searches didn't turn 
> up clear results).
