Github user yanboliang commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/15770 @thunterdb I have two concerns about making PIC as an Estimator: * As your suggestion, model's transform will introduce extra data shuffle compared with the original implementation. * It can not fit into the pipeline well, since both the estimator ```fit``` and model ```transform``` method should work on the dataset with same schema, like: ``` val model = new ALS().fit(dataset) model.transform(dataset) ``` But in your suggestion, the input of PIC estimator is the edges or RDD[(Long, Long, Double)], the input of PIC model is the vertices ID. I totally agree making PIC as a Transformer is tricky, but I did not find a better way. Thanks.
