## What changes were proposed in this pull request? This is a regression in Spark 2.2. In Spark 2.2, we introduced a new way to resolve persisted view: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-18209 , but this makes the persisted view non case-preserving because we store the schema in hive metastore directly. We should follow data source table and store schema in table properties. ## How was this patch tested? new regression test Author: Wenchen Fan <wenchen@databricks.com> Closes #18360 from cloud-fan/view. (cherry picked from commit e862dc904963cf7832bafc1d3d0ea9090bbddd81) Signed-off-by: gatorsmile <gatorsmile@gmail.com>

MLlib supports local vectors and matrices stored on a single machine,
as well as distributed matrices backed by one or more RDDs.
Local vectors and local matrices are simple data models
that serve as public interfaces. The underlying linear algebra operations are provided by
[Breeze](http://www.scalanlp.org/).
A training example used in supervised learning is called a "labeled point" in MLlib.
## Local vector
A local vector has integer-typed and 0-based indices and double-typed values, stored on a single
machine. MLlib supports two types of local vectors: dense and sparse. A dense vector is backed by
a double array representing its entry values, while a sparse vector is backed by two parallel
arrays: indices and values. For example, a vector `(1.0, 0.0, 3.0)` can be represented in dense
format as `[1.0, 0.0, 3.0]` or in sparse format as `(3, [0, 2], [1.0, 3.0])`, where `3` is the size
of the vector.

## Labeled point
A labeled point is a local vector, either dense or sparse, associated with a label/response.
In MLlib, labeled points are used in supervised learning algorithms.
We use a double to store a label, so we can use labeled points in both regression and classification.
For binary classification, a label should be either `0` (negative) or `1` (positive).
For multiclass classification, labels should be class indices starting from zero: `0, 1, 2, ...`.

A labeled point is represented by the case class
[`LabeledPoint`](api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.mllib.regression.LabeledPoint).

***Sparse data***
It is very common in practice to have sparse training data. MLlib supports reading training
examples stored in `LIBSVM` format, which is the default format used by
[`LIBSVM`](http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvm/) and
[`LIBLINEAR`](http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/liblinear/). It is a text format in which each line
represents a labeled sparse feature vector using the following format:
~~~
label index1:value1 index2:value2 ...
~~~
where the indices are one-based and in ascending order.
After loading, the feature indices are converted to zero-based.

## Local matrix
A local matrix has integer-typed row and column indices and double-typed values, stored on a single
machine. MLlib supports dense matrices, whose entry values are stored in a single double array in
column-major order, and sparse matrices, whose non-zero entry values are stored in the Compressed Sparse
Column (CSC) format in column-major order. For example, the following dense matrix `\[ \begin{pmatrix}
1.0 & 2.0 \\
3.0 & 4.0 \\
5.0 & 6.0
\end{pmatrix}
\]`
is stored in a one-dimensional array `[1.0, 3.0, 5.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0]` with the matrix size `(3, 2)`.

## Distributed matrix
A distributed matrix has long-typed row and column indices and double-typed values, stored
distributively in one or more RDDs. It is very important to choose the right format to store large
and distributed matrices. Converting a distributed matrix to a different format may require a
global shuffle, which is quite expensive. Four types of distributed matrices have been implemented
so far.
The basic type is called `RowMatrix`. A `RowMatrix` is a row-oriented distributed
matrix without meaningful row indices, e.g., a collection of feature vectors.
It is backed by an RDD of its rows, where each row is a local vector.
We assume that the number of columns is not huge for a `RowMatrix` so that a single
local vector can be reasonably communicated to the driver and can also be stored /
operated on using a single node.
An `IndexedRowMatrix` is similar to a `RowMatrix` but with row indices,
which can be used for identifying rows and executing joins.
A `CoordinateMatrix` is a distributed matrix stored in [coordinate list (COO)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_matrix#Coordinate_list_.28COO.29) format,
backed by an RDD of its entries.
A `BlockMatrix` is a distributed matrix backed by an RDD of `MatrixBlock`
which is a tuple of `(Int, Int, Matrix)`.
***Note***
The underlying RDDs of a distributed matrix must be deterministic, because we cache the matrix size.
In general the use of non-deterministic RDDs can lead to errors.
### RowMatrix
A `RowMatrix` is a row-oriented distributed matrix without meaningful row indices, backed by an RDD
of its rows, where each row is a local vector.
Since each row is represented by a local vector, the number of columns is
limited by the integer range but it should be much smaller in practice.
<div class="codetabs">
<div data-lang="scala" markdown="1">
A [`RowMatrix`](api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.mllib.linalg.distributed.RowMatrix) can be
created from an `RDD[Vector]` instance. Then we can compute its column summary statistics and decompositions.
[QR decomposition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_decomposition) is of the form A = QR where Q is an orthogonal matrix and R is an upper triangular matrix.
For [singular value decomposition (SVD)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_value_decomposition) and [principal component analysis (PCA)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_component_analysis), please refer to [Dimensionality reduction](mllib-dimensionality-reduction.html).

### BlockMatrix
A `BlockMatrix` is a distributed matrix backed by an RDD of `MatrixBlock`s, where a `MatrixBlock` is
a tuple of `((Int, Int), Matrix)`, where the `(Int, Int)` is the index of the block, and `Matrix` is
the sub-matrix at the given index with size `rowsPerBlock` x `colsPerBlock`.
`BlockMatrix` supports methods such as `add` and `multiply` with another `BlockMatrix`.
`BlockMatrix` also has a helper function `validate` which can be used to check whether the
`BlockMatrix` is set up properly.

A [`BlockMatrix`](api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.mllib.linalg.distributed.BlockMatrix) can be
most easily created from an `IndexedRowMatrix` or `CoordinateMatrix` by calling `toBlockMatrix`.
`toBlockMatrix` creates blocks of size 1024 x 1024 by default.
Users may change the block size by supplying the values through `toBlockMatrix(rowsPerBlock, colsPerBlock)`.
Refer to the [`BlockMatrix` Scala docs](api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.mllib.linalg.distributed.BlockMatrix) for details on the API.
