             Summary: Refactor NaiveBayes to support discrete and continuous 
labels,features
                 Key: SPARK-5272
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-5272
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: MLlib
    Affects Versions: 1.2.0
            Reporter: Joseph K. Bradley


This JIRA is to discuss refactoring NaiveBayes in order to support both 
discrete and continuous labels and features.

Currently, NaiveBayes supports only discrete labels and features.

Proposal: Generalize it to support continuous values as well.

Some items to discuss are:
* How commonly are continuous labels/features used in practice?  (Is this 
necessary?)
* What should the API look like?
** E.g., should NB have multiple classes for each type of label/feature, or 
should it take a general Factor type parameter?
