I have serialized a Spark ML Pipeline model that consists of a number of TransformerS (org.apache.spark.ml.Transformer) and several Logistic Regression learners (org.apache.spark.ml.classification.LogisticRegression). It all works fine on my Windows machine where I created the model. I serialized the model to disk using java.io.ObjectOutputStream and read it back in using java.io.ObjectInputStream.
It all works fine via sbt and my corresponding unit tests. However, when I assemble my code into a jar and try to run the same code in the Spark shell on my server, I get a ClassNotFoundException for my (first) transformer. The stack trace is included below.
I am using fork := true in my build.sbt file as I thought this might be related to SparkSQL MissingRequirementError when registering table, but that did not seem to help.
It also makes no difference whether I try to load the model from the jar file or directly from disk (as shown below).
How to deserialize a Pipeline?
