@felixcheung Thanks for your comments. I'm targeting this for 2.2, in case
for breaking change. With respect to the name issue, I'm still more prefer to
rename to ```spark.svm```. There are lots of R packages which implement same
functions, but we should follow the most authoritative or frequently-used
packages. For SVM, I think ```e1071``` is the one we should refer, you can
check the [search result of ```r svm``` in
google](https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=zh-CN&ictx=2&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwip_7ChnoPUAhWKgFQKHWKECTIQPQgD#newwindow=1&safe=strict&hl=zh-CN&q=r+svm),
all items in the first page are ```e1071::svm```. To your concern about
potential name conflicts, I think we can prevent it by providing parameters
such as classification/regression, kernel function, loss function, etc.
However, I'm still open to hear your thoughts.
