A one-hot encoder that maps a column of category indices to a column of binary vectors, with at most a single one-value per row that indicates the input category index. For example with 5 categories, an input value of 2.0 would map to an output vector of [0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0]. The last category is not included by default (configurable via dropLast), because it makes the vector entries sum up to one, and hence linearly dependent. So an input value of 4.0 maps to [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0].

)The object returned depends on the class of x.
spark_connection: When x is a spark_connection, the function returns a ml_transformer,
a ml_estimator, or one of their subclasses. The object contains a pointer to
a Spark Transformer or Estimator object and can be used to compose
Pipeline objects.
ml_pipeline: When x is a ml_pipeline, the function returns a ml_pipeline with
the transformer or estimator appended to the pipeline.
tbl_spark: When x is a tbl_spark, a transformer is constructed then
immediately applied to the input tbl_spark, returning a tbl_spark
A spark_connection, ml_pipeline, or a tbl_spark.
Names of input columns.
Names of output columns.
(Spark 2.1.0+) Param for how to handle invalid entries. Options are 'skip' (filter out rows with invalid values), 'error' (throw an error), or 'keep' (keep invalid values in a special additional bucket). Default: "error"
Whether to drop the last category. Defaults to TRUE.
A character string used to uniquely identify the feature transformer.
Optional arguments; currently unused.
In the case where x is a tbl_spark, the estimator fits against x
to obtain a transformer, which is then immediately used to transform x, returning a tbl_spark.
See https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/ml-features.html for more information on the set of transformations available for DataFrame columns in Spark.
