Hi,

I'm wondering if there is a concise way to run ML KMeans on a DataFrame if
I have the features in multiple numeric columns.

I.e. as in the Iris dataset:
(a1=5.1, a2=3.5, a3=1.4, a4=0.2, id=u'id_1', label=u'Iris-setosa',
binomial_label=1)

I'd like to use KMeans without recreating the DataSet with the feature
vector added manually as a new column and the original columns hardcoded
repeatedly in the code.

The solution I'd like to improve:

from pyspark.mllib.linalg import Vectors
from pyspark.sql.types import Row
from pyspark.ml.clustering import KMeans, KMeansModel

iris = sqlContext.read.parquet("/opt/data/iris.parquet")
iris.first()
# Row(a1=5.1, a2=3.5, a3=1.4, a4=0.2, id=u'id_1', label=u'Iris-setosa',
binomial_label=1)

df = iris.map(lambda r: Row(
                    id = r.id,
                    a1 = r.a1,
                    a2 = r.a2,
                    a3 = r.a3,
                    a4 = r.a4,
                    label = r.label,
                    binomial_label=r.binomial_label,
                    features = Vectors.dense(r.a1, r.a2, r.a3, r.a4))
                    ).toDF()


kmeans_estimator = KMeans()\
    .setFeaturesCol("features")\
    .setPredictionCol("prediction")\
kmeans_transformer = kmeans_estimator.fit(df)

predicted_df = kmeans_transformer.transform(df).drop("features")
predicted_df.first()

# Row(a1=5.1, a2=3.5, a3=1.4, a4=0.2, binomial_label=1, id=u'id_1',
label=u'Iris-setosa', prediction=1)



I'm looking for a solution, which is something like:

feature_cols = ["a1", "a2", "a3", "a4"]

prediction_col_name = "prediction"

<dataframe independent code for KMeans>

<New dataframe is created, extended with the `prediction` column.>


Thanks,

Zoltan
