    In Scala, we can use named arguments to help readability. But in Java, we 
still need to guess what the arguments are. 
    
    ~~~java
    IndexToString idxToStr = indexer.getInverse("prediction", 
"predictedLabels");
    ~~~
    
    ~~~java
    IndexToString idxToStr = indexer.inverse()
      .setInputCol("prediction")
      .setOutputCol("predictedLabels");
    ~~~
    
    My preference is to limit the ways users can specify parameters. If they 
are already familiar with setters, the latter approach doesn't really introduce 
overhead (assuming auto-completion) and users don't need to remember another 
API to do the same thing.
