Xusen Yin commented on SPARK-5895:
----------------------------------

I have another concern here.

We can not reveal each column name of a `Vector`. Given the selected features 
"age" and "salary", how to select these two columns from a vector? One solution 
is giving it a list of column names, say, `setColumnNames(List[String])`. But a 
more natural way to solve it is adding the list of column names in 
`VectorAssembler`.

> `VectorSlicer` takes a vector column and output a vector column with a subset 
> of features.
> {code}
> val vs = new VectorSlicer()
>   .setInputCol("user")
>   .setSelectedFeatures("age", "salary")
>   .setOutputCol("usefulUserFeatures")
> {code}
> We should allow specifying selected features by indices and by names. It 
> should preserve the output names.
