The first change (in `ALS`) is the only one in a component not marked as Alpha or Experimental. + +* *(Breaking change)* In [`ALS`](api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.mllib.recommendation.ALS), the extraneous method `solveLeastSquares` has been removed. The `DeveloperApi` method `analyzeBlocks` was also removed. +* *(Breaking change)* [`StandardScalerModel`](api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.mllib.feature.StandardScalerModel) remains an Alpha component. In it, the `variance` method has been replaced with the `std` method. To compute the column variance values returned by the original `variance` method, simply square the standard deviation values returned by `std`. +* *(Breaking change)* [`StreamingLinearRegressionWithSGD`](api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.mllib.regression.StreamingLinearRegressionWithSGD) remains an Experimental component. In it, there were two changes: + * The constructor taking arguments was removed in favor of a builder pattern using the default constructor plus parameter setter methods. + * Variable `model` is no longer public. +* *(Breaking change)* [`DecisionTree`](api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.mllib.tree.DecisionTree) remains an Experimental component. In it and its associated classes, there were several changes: + * In `DecisionTree`, the deprecated class method `train` has been removed. (The object/static `train` methods remain.) + * In `Strategy`, the `checkpointDir` parameter has been removed. Checkpointing is still supported, but the checkpoint directory must be set before calling tree and tree ensemble training. +* `PythonMLlibAPI` (the interface between Scala/Java and Python for MLlib) was a public API but is now private, declared `private[python]`. This was never meant for external use. +* In linear regression (including Lasso and ridge regression), the squared loss is now divided by 2. + So in order to produce the same result as in 1.2, the regularization parameter needs to be divided by 2 and the step size needs to be multiplied by 2. + ## From 1.1 to 1.2 The only API changes in MLlib v1.2 are in |
