Hyukjin Kwon updated SPARK-11535:
---------------------------------
Labels: bulk-closed (was: )
> StringIndexer should handle empty String specially
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-11535
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-11535
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ML
> Reporter: Joseph K. Bradley
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: bulk-closed
>
> StringIndexer will treat an empty string like any other string and index it
> properly. However, the feature attribute name will be set to the empty
> string, which causes a failure in OneHotEncoder. We should handle it
> specially by calling it something like "(empty_string)" (and maybe append an
> integer if that string already exists).
> See [https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-10513] for a description of
> the problem.
