---------------------------------------
[~josephkb] [~sethah] [~meihuawu] [~mlnick] If now one is working on this. Can
I start working on it, I have small experience in contributing with starter
tasks in Spark. If no one working on it I would love to start reading the
design docs mentioned in comments and start discussing next steps
> Add generic boosting algorithm to spark.ml

> Key: SPARK-7129
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7129
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: ML
> Reporter: Joseph K. Bradley
>
> The Pipelines API will make it easier to create a generic Boosting algorithm
> which can work with any Classifier or Regressor. Creating this feature will
> require researching the possible variants and extensions of boosting which we
> may want to support now and/or in the future, and planning an API which will
> be properly extensible.
> In particular, it will be important to think about supporting:
> * multiple loss functions (for AdaBoost, LogitBoost, gradient boosting, etc.)
> * multiclass variants
> * multilabel variants (which will probably be in a separate class and JIRA)
> * For more esoteric variants, we should consider them but not design too much
> around them: totally corrective boosting, cascaded models
> Note: This may interact some with the existing tree ensemble methods, but it
> should be largely separate since the tree ensemble APIs and implementations
> are specialized for trees.
