class StringIndexer extends Estimator[StringIndexerModel] with StringIndexerBase with DefaultParamsWritable

A label indexer that maps a string column of labels to an ML column of label indices. If the input column is numeric, we cast it to string and index the string values. The indices are in [0, numLabels), ordered by label frequencies. So the most frequent label gets index 0.

    Check transform validity and derive the output schema from the input schema.

    We check validity for interactions between parameters during transformSchema and raise an exception if any parameter value is invalid. Parameter value checks which do not depend on other parameters are handled by Param.validate().

    Typical implementation should first conduct verification on schema change and parameter validity, including complex parameter interaction checks.
