[SPARK-5089][PYSPARK][MLLIB] Fix vector convert
This is a small change addressing a potentially significant bug in how PySpark + MLlib handles non-float64 numpy arrays. The automatic conversion to `DenseVector` that occurs when passing RDDs to MLlib algorithms in PySpark should automatically upcast to float64s, but currently this wasn't actually happening. As a result, non-float64 would be silently parsed inappropriately during SerDe, yielding erroneous results when running, for example, KMeans. The PR includes the fix, as well as a new test for the correct conversion behavior. davies Author: freeman <the.freeman.lab@gmail.com> Closes #3902 from freeman-lab/fix-vector-convert and squashes the following commits: 764db47 [freeman] Add a test for proper conversion behavior 704f97e [freeman] Return array after changing type
