What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Drop vector type support in Distributed ML for spark connect.
Why are the changes needed?
Distributed ML is designed for supporting fitting / transforming over either spark dataframe or local pandas dataframe.
Currently pandas dataframe does not have vector type similar to
spark.ml.linalg.Vector
, and Vector type does not have too much advantages except saving sparse features dataset.To make the interface consistent, we decided initial version does not support vector type.
Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
No.
How was this patch tested?
UT.
