> Often in Spark ML, there are classes that use a Scala Array in a constructor.  In order to add the same API to Python, a Java-friendly alternate constructor needs to exist to be compatible with py4j when converting from a list.  This is because the current conversion in PySpark _py2java creates a java.util.ArrayList, as shown in this error msg
> {noformat}
> Py4JError: An error occurred while calling None.org.apache.spark.ml.feature.CountVectorizerModel. Trace:
> py4j.Py4JException: Constructor org.apache.spark.ml.feature.CountVectorizerModel([class java.util.ArrayList]) does not exist
> 	at py4j.reflection.ReflectionEngine.getConstructor(ReflectionEngine.java:179)
> 	at py4j.reflection.ReflectionEngine.getConstructor(ReflectionEngine.java:196)
> 	at py4j.Gateway.invoke(Gateway.java:235)
> {noformat}
> Creating an alternate constructor can be avoided by creating a py4j JavaArray using {{new_array}}.  This type is compatible with the Scala Array currently used in classes like {{CountVectorizerModel}} and {{StringIndexerModel}}.
> Most of the boiler-plate Python code to do this can be put in a convenience function inside of  ml.JavaWrapper to give a clean way of constructing ML objects without adding special constructors.
