> Under certain circumstances, newDF = vectorAssembler.transform(oldDF) invokes oldDF.first() in order to establish some metadata/attributes: [https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/mllib/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/ml/feature/VectorAssembler.scala#L88.] When oldDF is sorted, the above triggering of oldDF.first() can be very slow.
> For the purpose of establishing metadata, taking an arbitrary row from oldDF will be just as good as taking oldDF.first(). Is there hence a way we can speed up a great deal by somehow grabbing a random row, instead of relying on oldDF.first()?
