<h1 class="title">Machine Learning Library (MLlib) Guide</h1>
<p>MLlib is Spark’s scalable machine learning library consisting of common learning algorithms and utilities,
including classification, regression, clustering, collaborative
filtering, dimensionality reduction, as well as underlying optimization primitives.
Guides for individual algorithms are listed below.</p>
<p>The API is divided into 2 parts:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="mllib-guide.html#mllib-types-algorithms-and-utilities">The original <code>spark.mllib</code> API</a> is the primary API.</li>
<li><a href="mllib-guide.html#sparkml-high-level-apis-for-ml-pipelines">The “Pipelines” <code>spark.ml</code> API</a> is a higher-level API for constructing ML workflows.</li>
</ul>
<p>We list major functionality from both below, with links to detailed guides.</p>
<h1 id="mllib-types-algorithms-and-utilities">MLlib types, algorithms and utilities</h1>

<p>MLlib is under active development.
The APIs marked <code>Experimental</code>/<code>DeveloperApi</code> may change in future releases,
and the migration guide below will explain all changes between releases.</p>
<h1 id="sparkml-high-level-apis-for-ml-pipelines">spark.ml: high-level APIs for ML pipelines</h1>
<p>Spark 1.2 introduced a new package called <code>spark.ml</code>, which aims to provide a uniform set of
high-level APIs that help users create and tune practical machine learning pipelines.</p>
<p><em>Graduated from Alpha!</em> The Pipelines API is no longer an alpha component, although many elements of it are still <code>Experimental</code> or <code>DeveloperApi</code>.</p>
<p>Note that we will keep supporting and adding features to <code>spark.mllib</code> along with the
development of <code>spark.ml</code>.
Users should be comfortable using <code>spark.mllib</code> features and expect more features coming.
Developers should contribute new algorithms to <code>spark.mllib</code> and can optionally contribute
to <code>spark.ml</code>.</p>
<p>More detailed guides for <code>spark.ml</code> include:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><a href="ml-guide.html">spark.ml programming guide</a></strong>: overview of the Pipelines API and major concepts</li>
<li><a href="ml-features.html">Feature transformers</a>: Details on transformers supported in the Pipelines API, including a few not in the lower-level <code>spark.mllib</code> API</li>
<li><a href="ml-ensembles.html">Ensembles</a>: Details on ensemble learning methods in the Pipelines API</li>
</ul>
<h1 id="dependencies">Dependencies</h1>
<p>MLlib uses the linear algebra package
<a href="http://www.scalanlp.org/">Breeze</a>, which depends on
<a href="https://github.com/fommil/netlib-java">netlib-java</a> for optimised
numerical processing. If natives are not available at runtime, you
will see a warning message and a pure JVM implementation will be used
instead.</p>
<p>To learn more about the benefits and background of system optimised
natives, you may wish to watch Sam Halliday’s ScalaX talk on
<a href="http://fommil.github.io/scalax14/#/">High Performance Linear Algebra in Scala</a>).</p>
<p>Due to licensing issues with runtime proprietary binaries, we do not
include <code>netlib-java</code>’s native proxies by default. To configure
<code>netlib-java</code> / Breeze to use system optimised binaries, include
<code>com.github.fommil.netlib:all:1.1.2</code> (or build Spark with
<code>-Pnetlib-lgpl</code>) as a dependency of your project and read the
<a href="https://github.com/fommil/netlib-java">netlib-java</a> documentation for
your platform’s additional installation instructions.</p>
<p>To use MLlib in Python, you will need <a href="http://www.numpy.org">NumPy</a>
version 1.4 or newer.</p>
<hr />
<h1 id="migration-guide">Migration Guide</h1>
<p>For the <code>spark.ml</code> package, please see the <a href="ml-guide.html#migration-guide">spark.ml Migration Guide</a>.</p>
<h2 id="from-13-to-14">From 1.3 to 1.4</h2>
<p>In the <code>spark.mllib</code> package, there were several breaking changes, but all in <code>DeveloperApi</code> or <code>Experimental</code> APIs:</p>
<ul>
<li>Gradient-Boosted Trees
<ul>
<li><em>(Breaking change)</em> The signature of the <a href="api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.mllib.tree.loss.Loss"><code>Loss.gradient</code></a> method was changed. This is only an issues for users who wrote their own losses for GBTs.</li>
<li><em>(Breaking change)</em> The <code>apply</code> and <code>copy</code> methods for the case class <a href="api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.mllib.tree.configuration.BoostingStrategy"><code>BoostingStrategy</code></a> have been changed because of a modification to the case class fields. This could be an issue for users who use <code>BoostingStrategy</code> to set GBT parameters.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><em>(Breaking change)</em> The return value of <a href="api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.mllib.clustering.LDA"><code>LDA.run</code></a> has changed. It now returns an abstract class <code>LDAModel</code> instead of the concrete class <code>DistributedLDAModel</code>. The object of type <code>LDAModel</code> can still be cast to the appropriate concrete type, which depends on the optimization algorithm.</li>
</ul>
