Herman van Hovell tot Westerflier commented on SPARK-5885:
----------------------------------------------------------
Is it possible to add a parameter to the VectorAssembler which controls the
type of Vector produced by the assembler, it should be either Dense, Sparse or
Compressed.
I tried to create a pipeline in which the output of a VectorAssembler was fed
into a StandardScaler. This fails because the Assembler produced a sparse
vector whereas the scaler expected a dense vector.
If needed, I'll create a PR for this.

> `VectorAssembler` takes a list of columns (of type double/int/vector) and
> merge them into a single vector column.
> {code}
> val va = new VectorAssembler()
> .setInputCols("userFeatures", "dayOfWeek", "timeOfDay")
