Thank you, so I was inversely confused. At first I thought MLLIB was the 
future, but based on what you say. MLLIB will be the past. Intersting.
This means that if I look forward over using the pipelines system, I shouldn't 
be obsolete.

Any more insights welcome,
Saif

I think the story is that the new spark.ml "pipelines" API is the future. Most 
(all?) of the spark.mllib functionality has been ported over and/or translated. 
I don't know that spark.mllib will actually be deprecated soon -- not until 
spark.ml is fully blessed as 'stable' I'd imagine, at least. Even if it were I 
don't think it would go away. You can use spark.mllib now as it is pretty 
stable with some confidence, and look to spark.ml if you're interested in the 
"2.0" of MLlib and are willing to work with APIs that may change a bit.
