Joseph K. Bradley updated SPARK-7461:
-------------------------------------
Target Version/s: 1.5.0 (was: 1.4.0)
> Remove spark.ml Model, and have all Transformers have parent
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-7461
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7461
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: ML
> Reporter: Joseph K. Bradley
>
> A recent PR [https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/5980] brought up an issue
> with the Model abstraction: There are transformers which could be
> Transformers (created by a user) or Models (created by an Estimator). This
> is the first instance, but there will be more such transformers in the future.
> Some possible fixes are:
> * Create 2 separate classes, 1 extending Transformer and 1 extending Model.
> These would be essentially the same, and they could share code (or have 1
> wrap the other). This would bloat the API.
> * Just use Model, with a possibly null parent class. There is precedence
> (meta-algorithms like RandomForest producing weak hypothesis Models with no
> parent).
> * Change Transformer to have a parent which may be null.
> ** *--> Unless there is strong disagreement, I think we should go with this
> last option.*
