             Summary: PySpark ML Pipeline fails when no stages set
                 Key: SPARK-15018
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-15018
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ML, PySpark
            Reporter: Bryan Cutler


When fitting a PySpark Pipeline with no stages, it should work as an identity 
transformer.  Instead the following error is raised:

{noformat}
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./spark/python/pyspark/ml/base.py", line 64, in fit
    return self._fit(dataset)
  File "./spark/python/pyspark/ml/pipeline.py", line 99, in _fit
    for stage in stages:
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable
{noformat}

The param {{stages}} should be added to the default param list and 
{{getStages}} should call {{getOrDefault}}.

Also, since the default value is {{None}} is then changed to and empty list 
{{[]}}, this never changes the value if passed in as a keyword argument.  
Instead, the {{kwargs}} value should be changed directly if {{stages is None}}.

For example
{noformat}
if stages is None:
    stages = []
{noformat}
should be this
{noformat}
if stages is None:
    kwargs['stages'] = []
{noformat}
