------------------------------------------------
Hello,
I am new to contribution, but I have some experience in PySpark as I
took some courses in Edx. I am interested to implement this issue. Is the
language used scala or python?(I had this confusion because in course we used
to write in python, but people here talk about scala). Another thing, I tried
to install spark in system several times, but failed, can you give me any link
to spark VM?

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7129
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: ML
> Reporter: Joseph K. Bradley
>
> The Pipelines API will make it easier to create a generic Boosting algorithm
> which can work with any Classifier or Regressor. Creating this feature will
> require researching the possible variants and extensions of boosting which we
> may want to support now and/or in the future, and planning an API which will
> be properly extensible.
> In particular, it will be important to think about supporting:
> * multiple loss functions (for AdaBoost, LogitBoost, gradient boosting, etc.)
> * multiclass variants
> * multilabel variants (which will probably be in a separate class and JIRA)
> * For more esoteric variants, we should consider them but not design too much
> around them: totally corrective boosting, cascaded models
> Note: This may interact some with the existing tree ensemble methods, but it
> should be largely separate since the tree ensemble APIs and implementations
> are specialized for trees.
