Joseph K. Bradley commented on SPARK-5886:
------------------------------------------
Was there any discussion about this indexing multiple columns at the same time?
I think it should be able to since it sounds easier and more efficient when
indexing many columns.

> Key: SPARK-5886
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-5886
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: ML
> Reporter: Xiangrui Meng
> Assignee: Xiangrui Meng
>
> `LabelIndexer` takes a column of labels (raw categories) and outputs an
> integer column with labels indexed by their frequency.
> {code}
> va li = new LabelIndexer()
> .setInputCol("country")
> .setOutputCol("countryIndex")
> {code}
> In the output column, we should store the label to index map as an ML
> attribute. The index should be ordered by frequency, where the most frequent
> label gets index 0, to enhance sparsity.
> We can discuss whether this should index multiple columns at the same time.
