Joseph K. Bradley commented on SPARK-6823:
------------------------------------------
Removing target version. Feel free to set to something else.
> Add a model.matrix like capability to DataFrames (modelDataFrame)
> -----------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: SPARK-6823
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-6823
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: ML, SparkR
> Reporter: Shivaram Venkataraman
>
> Currently Mllib modeling tools work only with double data. However, data
> tables in practice often have a set of categorical fields (factors in R),
> that need to be converted to a set of 0/1 indicator variables (making the
> data actually used in a modeling algorithm completely numeric). In R, this is
> handled in modeling functions using the model.matrix function. Similar
> functionality needs to be available within Spark.
