Yes, this should be based on a basic abstraction of AdaBoost or additive 
models, and use Pipelines API. BTW, I implemented the AdaBoost.MH algo, 
experimentally and in a separate repo. It was based on Spark/MLLib 1.1, so it's 
not with Pipelines API. It's in the repo 
https://github.com/BaiGang/spark_multiboost, and also I made some presentations 
about this work https://github.com/BaiGang/slides/tree/master/spark_multiboost.

 I am willing to improve it, ideally make it base on SPARK-1546 as part of 
mllib and use Pipelines API.

> Multi-class multi-label classifiers are very useful in web page profiling, 
> audience segmentation etc. The goal of a multi-class multi-label classifier 
> is to tag a sample data point with a subset of labels from a finite, 
> pre-specified set, e.g. tagging a visitor with a set of interests. Given a 
> set of L labels, a data point can be tagged with one of the 2^L possible 
> subsets. The main challenges in training a multi-class multi-label classifier 
> are the exponentially large label space. 
> This JIRA is created to track the effort of solving the training problem of 
> multi-class, multi-label classifiers by implementing AdaBoost.MH on Apache 
> Spark. It will not be an easy task. I will start from a basic DecisionStump 
> weak learner and a simple Hamming tree resembling DecisionStumps into a meta 
> weak learner, and the iterative boosting procedure. I will be reusing modules 
> of Alexander Ulanov's multi-class and multi-label metrics evaluation and 
> Manish Amde's decision tree/boosting/ensemble implementations.
