Inquiry: Extending Spark ML Support via Spark Connect to Scala/Java APIs (SPARK-50812 Analogue)

Dear Apache Spark Community/Development Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to inquire about the roadmap and future plans for extending
Spark ML support through Spark Connect to the Scala API in a manner
analogous to SPARK-50812. Specifically, my team is very interested in
leveraging Spark Connect to invoke ML pipelines from a Java-based service;
however, the current implementation primarily targets Python.

Background & Motivation:

   -

   SPARK-50812 introduced API support for Python ML via Spark Connect.
   -

   We would like to understand whether there are any ongoing efforts or
   planned JIRA tickets for a similar extension enabling Scala (and by
   extension Java) ML usage through Spark Connect.
   -

   Our use case is to embed ML pipelines directly within a Java service,
   taking advantage of Spark Connect’s client-server architecture without
   resorting to Python.

My Questions:

   1.

   Roadmap Status: Are there any existing proposals or tickets related to
   adding Scala/Java ML bindings in Spark Connect?
   2.

   Timeline: If so, could you share an anticipated timeline or milestones
   for these enhancements?
   3.

   Contribution Opportunities: Would the community welcome contributions
   toward this feature, and if so, are there any guidelines or specifications
   we should follow?

Understanding your timeline and priorities will greatly assist us in
planning our integration strategy and, if feasible, contributing to the
effort.

Thank you for your time and for your ongoing work on Apache Spark. I look
forward to your guidance.

Dear Apache Spark Community/Development Team,

I was wondering whether you had a chance to take a look at my previous
email. I would appreciate any and all information which you could provide
on the aforementioned points.

I hope all is well on your end and do thank you for your time
and consideration.

Best wishes,
Daniel
