## OneHotEncoder (Deprecated since 2.3.0)
-Because this existing `OneHotEncoder` is a stateless transformer, it is
not usable on new data where the number of categories may differ from the
training data. In order to fix this, a new `OneHotEncoderEstimator` was created
that produces an `OneHotEncoderModel` when fitting. For more detail, please see
the JIRA ticket (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-13030).

Please use [OneHotEncoderEstimator](ml-features.html#onehotencoderestimator)
for one-hot encoding instead.

## OneHotEncoderEstimator
-[One-hot encoding](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-hot) maps a column of
label indices to a column of binary vectors, with at most a single one-value.
This encoding allows algorithms which expect continuous features, such as
Logistic Regression, to use categorical features. For string type input data,
it is common to encode categorical features using
[StringIndexer](ml-features.html#stringindexer) first.

-`OneHotEncoderEstimator` can handle multi-column. By specifying multiple
input columns, it returns a one-hot-encoded output vector column for each input
column.

-`OneHotEncoderEstimator` supports `handleInvalid` parameter to choose how
to handle invalid data during transforming data. Available options include
'keep' (invalid data presented as an extra categorical feature) and 'error'
(throw an error).

perhaps "extra categorical number" would read better as "extra categorical
index"?
