> 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.
