-------------------------------------
Summary: Expose VectorUDT/MatrixUDT in a public API
Key: SPARK-16074
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-16074
Project: Spark
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: MLilb
Affects Versions: 2.0.0
Reporter: Xiangrui Meng
Priority: Critical
Both VectorUDT and MatrixUDT are private APIs, because UserDefinedType itself
is private in Spark. However, in order to let developers implement their own
transformers and estimators, we should expose both types in a public API to
simply the implementation of transformSchema, transform, etc. Otherwise, they
need to get the data types using reflection.
Note that this doesn't mean to expose VectorUDT/MatrixUDT classes. We can just
have a method or a static value that returns VectorUDT/MatrixUDT instance with
DataType as the return type.
