Joseph K. Bradley commented on SPARK-1547: ------------------------------------------ [~hector.yee] I strongly agree about keeping ensembles general enough to work with any weak learning algorithm. This is difficult now because of the lack of a general class hierarchy, but that will be easier after the [current API redesign|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1856]. Starting with trees, and later generalizing once the new API is available, will be great. > Add gradient boosting algorithm to MLlib > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-1547 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1547 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: MLlib > Affects Versions: 1.0.0 > Reporter: Manish Amde > Assignee: Manish Amde > > This task requires adding the gradient boosting algorithm to Spark MLlib.
