How do you implement a model built using sklearn pipeline in pyspark? - python-3.x

I would like to use the model I built using sklearn pipeline in pyspark. The pipeline takes care of imputation, scaling and one-hot encoding and Random Forest Classification.I tried broadcasting the model and using pandas udf to predict.it did not work, got py4jjavaerror.

Same sklearn pipeline different results

I have created a pipeline based on:
Custom tfidfvectorizer to transform tf IDF vector as dataframe (600 features)
Custom Features generator to create new features (5)
Feature Union to join the two dataframes. I checked the output is an array, so no feature names. (605)
Xgboost classifier model seed and random state included (8 classes as labels names)
If I fit and use de pipeline in Jupyter notebook, I obtain good F1 scores.
However, when I save it (using pickle, joblib or dill), and later load it in another notebook or script, I cannot always reproduce the results! I cannot understand it because the input for testing is always the same.. and the python environment!
Could you help me with some suggestions?
Thanks!
Tried to save the pipeline with different libraries.
DenseTransformer in some points
Column transform instead of feature Union
I cannot use pmml library due to some restrictions
Etc
The problem is the same

Pyspark ML CrossValidator evaluate several evaluators

In Sklearn in the GridSearchCV we can give the model different scorings and with the refit param we refit one of them using the best found parameters in on the whole dataset.
Is there any way to do something similar with CrossValidator from the ML package from pyspark?

Training in Python and Deploying in Spark

Is it possible to train an XGboost model in python and use the saved model to predict in spark environment ? That is, I want to be able to train the XGboost model using sklearn, save the model. Load the saved model in spark and predict in spark. Is this possible ?
edit:
Thanks all for the answer , but my question is really this. I see the below issues when I train and predict different bindings of XGBoost.
During training I would be using XGBoost in python, and when  predicting I would be using XGBoost in mllib.
I have to load the saved model from XGBoost python (Eg: XGBoost.model file) to be predicted in spark, would this model be compatible to be used with the predict function in the mllib
The data input formats of both XGBoost in python and XGBoost in spark mllib are different. Spark takes vector assembled format but with python, we can feed the dataframe as such. So, how do I feed the data when I am trying to predict in spark with a model trained in python. Can I feed the data without vector assembler ? Would XGboost predict function in spark mllib take non-vector assembled data as input ?
You can run your python script on spark using spark-submit command so that can compile your python code on spark and then you can predict the value in spark.
you can
load data/ munge data using pyspark sql,
then bring data to local driver using collect/topandas(performance bottleneck)
then train xgboost on local driver
then prepare test data as RDD,
broadcast the xgboost model to each RDD partition, then predict data in parallel
This all can be in one script, you spark-submit, but to make the things more concise, i will recommend split train/test in two script.
Because step2,3 are happening at driver level, not using any cluster resource, your worker are not doing anything
Here is a similar implementation of what you are looking for. I have a SO post explaining details as I am trying to troubleshoot the errors described in the post to get the code in the notebook working .
XGBoost Spark One Model Per Worker Integration
The idea is to train using xgboost and then via spark orchestrate each model to run on a spark worker and then predictions can be applied via xgboost predict_proba() or spark ml predict().

MLeap and Spark ML SQLTransformer

I have a question. I am trying to serialize a PySpark ML model to mleap.
However, the model makes use of the SQLTransformer to do some column-based transformations e.g. adding log-scaled versions of some columns.
As we all know, Mleap doesn't support SQLTransformer - see here :
https://github.com/combust/mleap/issues/126
so I've implemented the former of these 2 suggestions:
For non-row operations, move the SQL out of the ML Pipeline that you
plan to serialize
For row-based operations, use the available ML
transformers or write a custom transformer <- this is where the
custom transformer documentation will help.
I've externalized the SQL transformation on the training data used to build the model, and I do the same for the input data when I run the model for evaluation.
The problem I'm having is that I'm unable to obtain the same results across the 2 models.
Model 1 - Pure Spark ML model containing
SQLTransformer + later transformations : StringIndexer ->
OneHotEncoderEstimator -> VectorAssembler -> RandomForestClassifier
Model 2 - Externalized version with SQL queries run on training data in building the model. The transformations are
everything after SQLTransformer in Model 1:
StringIndexer -> OneHotEncoderEstimator ->
VectorAssembler -> RandomForestClassifier
I'm wondering how I could go about debugging this problem. Is there a way to somehow compare the results after each stage to see where the differences show up ?
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Convert scikit-learn SVM model to LibSVM

I have trained a SVM (svc) using scikit-learn over half a terabyte of data. The model is working fine and I need to port it to C, but I don't want to re-train the SVM from scratch because it takes way too long for me. Is there a way to easily export the model generated by scikit-learn and import it into LibSVM? Internally scikit-learn uses LibSVM so theoretically it should be possible, but I haven't been able to find anything in the documentation. Any suggestion?

No. The scikit-learn version of LIBSVM has been hacked up severely to fit it into the Python environment and the model is stored as NumPy/SciPy data structures.
Your best shot is to study the SVM decision function and reimplement it in C. The support vectors can be obtained from the SVC object as NumPy arrays, which are easily translated to C arrays.
