From 6c6f32574023b8e43a24f2081ff17e6e446de2f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: freeman Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2015 13:10:59 -0800 Subject: [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 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 --- python/pyspark/mllib/linalg.py | 2 +- python/pyspark/mllib/tests.py | 10 ++++++++++ 2 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'python') diff --git a/python/pyspark/mllib/linalg.py b/python/pyspark/mllib/linalg.py index f7aa2b0cb0..4f8491f43e 100644 --- a/python/pyspark/mllib/linalg.py +++ b/python/pyspark/mllib/linalg.py @@ -178,7 +178,7 @@ class DenseVector(Vector): elif not isinstance(ar, np.ndarray): ar = np.array(ar, dtype=np.float64) if ar.dtype != np.float64: - ar.astype(np.float64) + ar = ar.astype(np.float64) self.array = ar def __reduce__(self): diff --git a/python/pyspark/mllib/tests.py b/python/pyspark/mllib/tests.py index 5034f229e8..1f48bc1219 100644 --- a/python/pyspark/mllib/tests.py +++ b/python/pyspark/mllib/tests.py @@ -110,6 +110,16 @@ class VectorTests(PySparkTestCase): self.assertEquals(0.0, _squared_distance(dv, dv)) self.assertEquals(0.0, _squared_distance(lst, lst)) + def test_conversion(self): + # numpy arrays should be automatically upcast to float64 + # tests for fix of [SPARK-5089] + v = array([1, 2, 3, 4], dtype='float64') + dv = DenseVector(v) + self.assertTrue(dv.array.dtype == 'float64') + v = array([1, 2, 3, 4], dtype='float32') + dv = DenseVector(v) + self.assertTrue(dv.array.dtype == 'float64') + class ListTests(PySparkTestCase): -- cgit v1.2.3
