             Summary: Support for libsvm-based learning-to-rank format
                 Key: SPARK-19683
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-19683
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: ML, MLlib
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0
            Reporter: Craig Macdonald
            Priority: Minor


I would like to use Spark for reading/processing Learning to Rank files. The standard format is an extension of libsvm:

{code}
0 qid:1 1:2.9 2:9.4 # docid=clueweb09-00-01492
{code}

Under the mlib API, a LabeledPoint would need an extension called QueryLabeledPoint.

I would also like to investigate use through the DataFrame, extending the libsvm source, however many of the classes/methods used there are private (e.g. LibSVMOptions, Datatype.sameType(), VectorUDT). So would an extension to handle LTR format be better inside Spark or outside?
