[jira] [Updated] (SPARK-4587) Model export/import

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4587?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Joseph K. Bradley updated SPARK-4587:
-------------------------------------
    Description: 
This is an umbrella JIRA for one of the most requested features on the user mailing list. Model export/import can be done via Java serialization. But it doesn't work for models stored distributively, e.g., ALS and LDA. Ideally, we should provide save/load methods to every model. PMML is an option but it has its limitations. There are couple things we need to discuss: 1) data format, 2) how to preserve partitioning, 3) data compatibility between versions and language APIs, etc.

UPDATE: [Design doc for model import/export | https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kABFz1ssKJxLGMkboreSl3-I2CdLAOjNh5IQCrnDN3g/edit?usp=sharing]

This document sketches machine learning model import/export plans, including goals, an API, and development plans.

UPDATE: As in the design doc, we plan to support:
* Our own Spark-specific format.
** This is needed to (a) support distributed models and (b) get model import/export support into Spark quickly (while avoiding the complexity of PMML).
* PMML
** This is needed since it is the most commonly used format in industry.

This JIRA will be for the internal Spark-specific format described in the design doc. Parallel JIRAs will cover PMML.

The design doc proposes:
* Support our own Spark-specific format.
** This is needed to (a) support distributed models and (b) get model import/export support into Spark quickly (while avoiding new dependencies).
* Also support PMML
** This is needed since it is the only thing approaching an industry standard.
