Sean Owen resolved SPARK-7372.
------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix

This should be a question on user@ I think. It would better to build this once than specialize it several times. 

If there were some different, special way to handle mutliclass in SVM that took advantage of how SVMs worked, then it might make sense to support some SVM-specific implementation. (For example, you certainly don't need one-vs-all to do multiclass in decision trees.) But I don't believe there is for SVM.

>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Question
>          Components: MLlib
>            Reporter: Renat Bekbolatov
>            Priority: Trivial

> I was wondering if we want to have a some support for multiclass SVM in MLlib, for example, through a simple wrapper over binary SVM classifiers with OVA.
> There is already WIP for ML pipeline generalization: SparkSPARK-7015, Multiclass to Binary Reduction
> However, if users prefer to just have basic OVA version that runs against SVMWithSGD, they might be able to use it.
> Here is a code sketch: https://github.com/Bekbolatov/spark/commit/463d73323d5f08669d5ae85dc9791b036637c966
> Maybe this could live in a 3rd party utility library (outside Spark MLlib).
