[jira] [Updated] (SPARK-3164) Store DecisionTree Split.categories as Set

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-3164?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Joseph K. Bradley updated SPARK-3164:
-------------------------------------
    Description: 
Improvement: computation

For categorical features with many categories, it could be more efficient to store Split.categories as a Set, not a List.  (It is currently a List.)  A Set might be more scalable (for log n lookups), though tests would need to be done to ensure that Sets do not incur too much more overhead than Lists.

A Set might be more scalable (for log(n) lookups), though tests would need to be done to ensure that Sets do not incur too much more overhead than Lists.
