* [SPARK-5900][MLLIB] make PIC and FPGrowth Java-friendlyXiangrui Meng2015-02-191-7/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the previous version, PIC stores clustering assignments as an `RDD[(Long, Int)]`. This is mapped to `RDD<Tuple2<Object, Object>>` in Java and hence Java users have to cast types manually. We should either create a new method called `javaAssignments` that returns `JavaRDD[(java.lang.Long, java.lang.Int)]` or wrap the result pair in a class. I chose the latter approach in this PR. Now assignments are stored as an `RDD[Assignment]`, where `Assignment` is a class with `id` and `cluster`. Similarly, in FPGrowth, the frequent itemsets are stored as an `RDD[(Array[Item], Long)]`, which is mapped to `RDD<Tuple2<Object, Object>>`. Though we provide a "Java-friendly" method `javaFreqItemsets` that returns `JavaRDD[(Array[Item], java.lang.Long)]`. It doesn't really work because `Array[Item]` is mapped to `Object` in Java. So in this PR I created a class `FreqItemset` to wrap the results. It has `items` and `freq`, as well as a `javaItems` method that returns `List<Item>` in Java. I'm not certain that the names I chose are proper: `Assignment`/`id`/`cluster` and `FreqItemset`/`items`/`freq`. Please let me know if there are better suggestions.

The API is still not very Java-friendly because `Array[Item]` in `freqItemsets` is recognized as `Object` in Java. We might want to define a case class to wrap the return pair to make it Java friendly.
