Feynman Liang commented on SPARK-7751:
--------------------------------------

If we are worried about differing solutions for the JIRAs, I think providing an 
example PR and asking to follow suit can help that issue. That's what's done in 
this JIRA and I think for the most part it has been effective.

I agree that keeping the noise low on issues@ is important, but a smaller 
number of JIRAs is in direct tension with keeping PRs small and easy to review. 
It's not clear what the solution is here, but IMO discussing the right balance 
is a good direction.

> Add @Since annotation to stable and experimental methods in MLlib

> This is useful to check whether a feature exists in some version of Spark. 
> This is an umbrella JIRA to track the progress. We want to have -@since tag- 
> @Since annotation for both stable (those without any 
> Experimental/DeveloperApi/AlphaComponent annotations) and experimental 
> methods in MLlib:
> (Do NOT tag private or package private classes or methods, nor local 
> variables and methods.)
> * an example PR for Scala: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/8309
> We need to dig the history of git commit to figure out what was the Spark 
> version when a method was first introduced. Take `NaiveBayes.setModelType` as 
> an example. We can grep `def setModelType` at different version git tags.
> {code}
> meng@xm:~/src/spark
> $ git show 
> v1.3.0:mllib/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/mllib/classification/NaiveBayes.scala
>  | grep "def setModelType"
> meng@xm:~/src/spark
> $ git show 
> v1.4.0:mllib/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/mllib/classification/NaiveBayes.scala
>  | grep "def setModelType"

> {code}
> If there are better ways, please let us know.
> We cannot add all -@since tags- @Since annotation in a single PR, which is 
> hard to review. So we made some subtasks for each package, for example 
> `org.apache.spark.classification`. Feel free to add more sub-tasks for Python 
> and the `spark.ml` package.
> Plan:
> 1. In 1.5, we try to add @Since annotation to all stable/experimental methods 
> under `spark.mllib`.
> 2. Starting from 1.6, we require @Since annotation in all new PRs.
> 3. In 1.6, we try to add @SInce annotation to all stable/experimental methods 
> under `spark.ml`, `pyspark.mllib`, and `pyspark.ml`.
