class VectorIndexer extends Estimator[VectorIndexerModel] with VectorIndexerParams with DefaultParamsWritable

Class for indexing categorical feature columns in a dataset of Vector.

This has 2 usage modes:

This returns a model which can transform categorical features to use 0-based indices.

Index stability:

TODO: Future extensions: The following functionality is planned for the future:

    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.
