    Actually, the udf in transform() of StringIndexer.scala, will throw an 
exception in action. But, it doesn't stop the execution of collect().
    
    val indexer = udf { label: String =>
          if (label == null) {
            if (keepInvalid) {
              labels.length
            } else {
              throw new SparkException("StringIndexer encountered NULL value. 
To handle or skip " +
                "NULLS, try setting StringIndexer.handleInvalid.")
            }
          } else {
            if (labelToIndex.contains(label)) {
              labelToIndex(label)
            } else if (keepInvalid) {
              labels.length
            } else {
              throw new SparkException(s"Unseen label: $label.  To handle 
unseen labels, " +
                s"set Param handleInvalid to ${StringIndexer.KEEP_INVALID}.") 
<=== this is the exception.
            }
          }
        }
    
    I am asking other people who are familiar with this logic to understand why 
it doesn't stop the collect().
