<h1 class="title">Machine Learning Library (MLlib) Guide</h1>
<p>MLlib is Spark’s machine learning (ML) library.
Its goal is to make practical machine learning scalable and easy.
It consists of common learning algorithms and utilities, including classification, regression,
clustering, collaborative filtering, dimensionality reduction, as well as lower-level optimization
primitives and higher-level pipeline APIs.</p>
<p>It divides into two packages:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="mllib-guide.html#data-types-algorithms-and-utilities"><code>spark.mllib</code></a> contains the original API
built on top of <a href="programming-guide.html#resilient-distributed-datasets-rdds">RDDs</a>.</li>
<li><a href="ml-guide.html"><code>spark.ml</code></a> provides higher-level API
built on top of <a href="sql-programming-guide.html#dataframes">DataFrames</a> for constructing ML pipelines.</li>
</ul>
<p>Using <code>spark.ml</code> is recommended because with DataFrames the API is more versatile and flexible.
But we will keep supporting <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.ml</code> if they fit the ML pipeline concept well,
e.g., feature extractors and transformers.</p>
<p>We list major functionality from both below, with links to detailed guides.</p>

<p>Some techniques are not available yet in spark.ml, most notably dimensionality reduction
Users can seamlessly combine the implementation of these techniques found in <code>spark.mllib</code> with the rest of the algorithms found in <code>spark.ml</code>.</p>
<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 libraries<sup id="fnref:1"><a href="#fn:1" class="footnote">1</a></sup> are not available at runtime, you will see a warning message and a pure JVM
implementation will be used instead.</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>
<h1 id="migration-guide">Migration guide</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>
<h2 id="from-15-to-16">From 1.5 to 1.6</h2>
<p>There are no breaking API changes in the <code>spark.mllib</code> or <code>spark.ml</code> packages, but there are
deprecations and changes of behavior.</p>
<p>Deprecations:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-11358">SPARK-11358</a>:
In <code>spark.mllib.clustering.KMeans</code>, the <code>runs</code> parameter has been deprecated.</li>
<li><a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-10592">SPARK-10592</a>:
In <code>spark.ml.classification.LogisticRegressionModel</code> and
<code>spark.ml.regression.LinearRegressionModel</code>, the <code>weights</code> field has been deprecated in favor of
the new name <code>coefficients</code>. This helps disambiguate from instance (row) “weights” given to
algorithms.</li>
</ul>
<p>Changes of behavior:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7770">SPARK-7770</a>:
<code>spark.mllib.tree.GradientBoostedTrees</code>: <code>validationTol</code> has changed semantics in 1.6.
Previously, it was a threshold for absolute change in error. Now, it resembles the behavior of
<code>GradientDescent</code>’s <code>convergenceTol</code>: For large errors, it uses relative error (relative to the
previous error); for small errors (<code>< 0.01</code>), it uses absolute error.</li>
<li><a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-11069">SPARK-11069</a>:
<code>spark.ml.feature.RegexTokenizer</code>: Previously, it did not convert strings to lowercase before
tokenizing. Now, it converts to lowercase by default, with an option not to. This matches the
behavior of the simpler <code>Tokenizer</code> transformer.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="previous-spark-versions">Previous Spark versions</h2>
<p>Earlier migration guides are archived <a href="mllib-migration-guides.html">on this page</a>.</p>
