PySpark - Impossible to show predictions of a random forest model (Failed to execute user defined function($anonfun$1: (vector) => vector)) - pyspark

Question

I'm using PySpark (Python 3.5.2 and Spark 2.2.0.2.6.4.0-91) and I have a Dataframe of predicted values (through a random forest model defined with the MLlib library) with the following structure :
DataFrame[id: bigint, features: vector, rawPrediction: vector, probability: vector, prediction: double]
I got it with :
rf_predictions = random_forest_model.transform(dataframe)
But when I want to display the content of it, it only works with the 2 first columns "id" and "features" :
rf_predictions.select("id","features").show()
But when I try :
rf_predictions.select("prediction").show()
In order to display the "prediction" column (same problem with the columns "rawPrediction" or "probability"), it returns me the following bug :

And yet I don't use any UDF functions as you can see. Would you know why I get this bug or how I could avoid/fix it please ?
Do you think there is a way to transforming this column to a RDD, List or whatever else and then rebuild it as a dataframe column in order to be able to get the predicted labels ?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards

Answer 1

try
rf_predictions.select("rawPrediction").show()
or to map rawPrediction to prediction use Pipeline
try adding Pipeline to your code:
from pyspark.ml import Pipeline
# Chain indexers and forest in a Pipeline
# Train a RandomForest model.
rf = RandomForestClassifier(labelCol="", featuresCol="", numTrees=10)
pipeline = Pipeline(stages=[labelConverter])
# Train model. This also runs the indexers.
model = pipeline.fit(dataframe)
# Make predictions.
predictions = model.transform(testData)
