Joseph K. Bradley updated SPARK-4587:
-------------------------------------
    Description: 
This is an umbrella JIRA for one of the most requested features on the user 
mailing list. Model export/import can be done via Java serialization. But it 
doesn't work for models stored distributively, e.g., ALS and LDA. Ideally, we 
should provide save/load methods to every model. PMML is an option but it has 
its limitations. There are couple things we need to discuss: 1) data format, 2) 
how to preserve partitioning, 3) data compatibility between versions and 
language APIs, etc.

UPDATE: [Design doc for model import/export | 
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kABFz1ssKJxLGMkboreSl3-I2CdLAOjNh5IQCrnDN3g/edit?usp=sharing]

This document sketches machine learning model import/export plans, including 
goals, an API, and development plans.

UPDATE: As in the design doc, we plan to support:
* Our own Spark-specific format.
** This is needed to (a) support distributed models and (b) get model 
import/export support into Spark quickly (while avoiding the complexity of 
PMML).
* PMML
** This is needed since it is the most commonly used format in industry.

This JIRA will be for the internal Spark-specific format described in the 
design doc. Parallel JIRAs will cover PMML.

This document sketches machine learning model import/export plans, including 
goals, an API, and development plans.

The design doc proposes:
* Support our own Spark-specific format.
** This is needed to (a) support distributed models and (b) get model 
import/export support into Spark quickly (while avoiding new dependencies).
* Also support PMML
** This is needed since it is the only thing approaching an industry standard.
