+The `spark.ml` implementation of logistic regression also supports
+extracting a summary of the model over the training set. Note that the
+predictions and metrics which are stored as `Datafram`s in
+`BinaryLogisticRegressionSummary` are annoted `@transient` and hence
+only available on the driver.

+provides a summary for a
+[`LogisticRegressionModel`](api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.ml.classification.LogisticRegressionModel).
+Currently, only binary classification is supported and the
+summary must be explicitly cast to
+[`BinaryLogisticRegressionTrainingSummary`](api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.ml.classification.BinaryLogisticRegressionTrainingSummary).
+This will likely change when multiclass classification is supported.

Downcasting is almost always an indication of a poor abstraction and IMO
