> Key: SPARK-2341
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2341
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: MLlib
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0

>
> Many datasets exist in LibSVM format for regression tasks [1] but currently
> the loadLibSVMFile primitive doesn't handle regression datasets.
> More precisely, the LabelParser is either a MulticlassLabelParser or a
> BinaryLabelParser. What happens then is that the file is loaded but in
> multiclass mode : each target value is interpreted as a class name !
> The fix would be to write a RegressionLabelParser which converts target
> values to Double and plug it into the loadLibSVMFile routine.
