Sean Owen commented on SPARK-1406:
----------------------------------

Yes I understand transformations can be described in PMML. Do you mean parsing 
a transformation described in PMML and implementing the transformation? Yes 
that goes hand in hand with supporting import of a model in general.

I would merely suggest this is a step that comes after several others in order 
of priority, like:
- implementing feature transformations in the abstract in the code base, 
separately from the idea of PMML
- implementing some form of model import via JPMML
- implementing more functional in the Model classes to give a reason to want to 
import an external model into MLlib

... and to me this is less useful at this point than export too. I say this 
because the power of MLlib/Spark right now is perceived to be model building, 
making it more producer than consumer at this stage.

> It would be useful if spark would provide support the evaluation of PMML 
> models (http://www.dmg.org/v4-2/GeneralStructure.html).
> This would allow to use analytical models that were created with a 
> statistical modeling tool like R, SAS, SPSS, etc. with Spark (MLib) which 
> would perform the actual model evaluation for a given input tuple. The PMML 
> model would then just contain the "parameterization" of an analytical model.
> Other projects like JPMML-Evaluator do a similar thing.
