Liang-Chi Hsieh commented on SPARK-23333:
-----------------------------------------
Currently I think we don't have API in Dataset to just fetch an any row back.
Is it reasonable to add a \{{def any(n: Int): Array[T]}} to Dataset? cc

> SparkML VectorAssembler.transform slow when needing to invoke .first() on

> Key: SPARK-23333
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-23333
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ML, MLlib, SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.2.1
> Reporter: V Luong
> Priority: Major
>
> Under certain circumstances, newDF = vectorAssembler.transform(oldDF) invokes
> oldDF.first() in order to establish some metadata/attributes:
> [https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/mllib/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/ml/feature/VectorAssembler.scala#L88.]
> When oldDF is sorted, the above triggering of oldDF.first() can be very slow.
> For the purpose of establishing metadata, taking an arbitrary row from oldDF
> will be just as good as taking oldDF.first(). Is there hence a way we can
> speed up a great deal by somehow grabbing a random row, instead of relying on
> oldDF.first()?
