Github user srowen commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/17556 That's good info. It's a tough call -- matching a known package is always nice. However I agree that a weighted split is a little more theoretically sound (don't have a reference on that though). I'd support this change, myself. It sounds like we won't find an exact match to the R GBM behavior except when each split has equal numbers of classes on either side.
