> org.apache.spark.ml.regression.RegressionModel supports prediction only for a single variable with a method "predict:Double" by extending the Predictor. There is a need for multivariate prediction, at least for regression. I propose to modify "RegressionModel" interface similarly to how it is done in "ClassificationModel", which supports multiclass classification. It has "predict:Double" and "predictRaw:Vector". Analogously, "RegressionModel" should have something like "predictMultivariate:Vector".
> Update: After reading the design docs, adding "predictMultivariate" to RegressionModel does not seem reasonable to me anymore. The issue is as follows. RegressionModel has "predict:Double". Its "train" method uses "predict:Double" for prediction, i.e. PredictionModel (and RegressionModel) is hard-coded to have only one output. There exist a similar problem in MLLib (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-5362). 
> The possible solution for this problem might require to redesign the class hierarchy or addition of a separate interface that extends model. Though the latter means code duplication.
