Major Description
In Spark 2.0, we are going to have 4 ML models in SparkR: GLMs, k-means, naive Bayes, and AFT survival regression. Users can fit models, get summary, and make predictions. However, they cannot save/load the models yet.
ML models in SparkR are wrappers around ML pipelines. So it should be straightforward to implement model persistence. We need to think more about the API. R uses save/load for objects and datasets (also objects). It is possible to overload save for ML models, e.g., save.NaiveBayesWrapper. But I'm not sure whether load can be overloaded easily. I propose the following API:
model <- glm(formula, data = df)
ml.save(model, path, mode = "overwrite")
model2 <- ml.load(path)
We defined wrappers as S4 classes. So `ml.save` is an S4 method and ml.load is a S3 method (correct me if I'm wrong).
