------------------------------------------
Summary: Rework semantics for .setSeed function of SVM
Key: FLINK-2185
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2185
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Machine Learning Library
Reporter: Theodore Vasiloudis
Priority: Minor
Currently setting the seed for the SVM does not have the expected result of
producing the same output for each run of the algorithm, potentially due to the
randomness in data partitioning.
We should then rework the way the algorithm works to either ensure we get the
exact same results when the seed is set, or if that is not possible the setSeed
function should be removed.
Also in the current implementation the default value of 0 for the seed means
that all runs for which we don't set the seed will get the same seed which is
not the intended behavior.
