Re: ALS run method versus ALS train versus ALS fit and transform

Yes, just have a look at the method in the source code. It calls "new
ALS()run()". It's a convenience wrapper only.

I am not sure what you mean by underneath, so basically the mllib ALS()...run()
   does the same thing as the mllib ALS train() ?

Re: ALS run method versus ALS train versus ALS fit and transform

The first two examples are from the .mllib API. Really, the "new
ALS()...run()" form is underneath both of the first two. In the second
case, you're calling a convenience method that calls something similar
to the first example.

The second example is from the new .ml "pipelines" API. Similar ideas,
but a different API.
