             Summary: Syntactic sugar over Pipeline API
                 Key: SPARK-18213
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-18213
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: ML
    Affects Versions: 2.0.1
            Reporter: Wojciech Szymanski
            Priority: Minor


Currently, creating ML Pipeline is based on very verbose setStages method as below:
{code}
    val tokenizer = new RegexTokenizer()
    val stopWordsRemover = new StopWordsRemover()
    val countVectorizer = new CountVectorizer()

    val pipeline = new Pipeline().setStages(Array(tokenizer, stopWordsRemover, countVectorizer))
{code}

What about a bit of syntactic sugar over Pipeline API?
{code}
    val tokenizer = new RegexTokenizer()
    val stopWordsRemover = new StopWordsRemover()
    val countVectorizer = new CountVectorizer()

    val pipeline = tokenizer + stopWordsRemover + countVectorizer
{code}

Production code changes in mllib/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/ml/Pipeline.scala:
