Github user NathanHowell commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/8246#issuecomment-139345239 @jkbradley it's not that uncommon to use sparse features for time series classification (sparse interval features) with RF. training a linear model with spark.ml's pipeline is (was?) prohibitively expensive for this dataset. normalizing features using the spark.ml's transforms generates two stages per feature... rather than two stages total (the first for density estimation and a second for the bucket transform) but that sort of defeats the purpose of using `ml` instead of `mllib`..
