Hi Jatin,

HashingTF should be able to solve the memory problem if you use a
small feature dimension in HashingTF. Please do not cache the input
document, but cache the output from HashingTF and IDF instead. We
don't have a label indexer yet, so you need a label to index map to
map it to double values, e.g., D1 -> 0.0, D2 -> 1.0, etc. Assuming
that the input is an RDD[(label: String, doc: Seq[String])], the code
should look like the following:

val docTypeToLabel = Map("D1" -> 0.0, ...)
val tf = new HashingTF();
val freqs = input.map(x => (docTypeToLabel(x._1), tf.transform(x._2))).cache()
val idf = new IDF()
val idfModel = idf.fit(freqs.values)
val vectors = freqs.map(x => LabeledPoint(x._1, idfModel.transform(x._2)))
val nbModel = NaiveBayes.train(vectors)

IDF doesn't provide the filter on the min occurrence, but it is nice
to put that option. Please create a JIRA and someone may work on it.

Best,
Xiangrui
