Multiclass Classification Evaluator field does not exist error - Apache Spark - scala

Question

I am new to Spark and trying a basic classifier in Scala.
I'm trying to get the accuracy, but when using MulticlassClassificationEvaluator it gives the error below:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Field "label" does not exist.

The code is as below:
val conf = new SparkConf().setMaster("local[*]").setAppName("Classifier")
val sc = new SparkContext(conf)
val spark = SparkSession
.builder()
.appName("Email Classifier")
.config("spark.some.config.option", "some-value")
.getOrCreate()
import spark.implicits._
val spamInput = "TRAIN_00000_0.eml" //files to train model
val normalInput = "TRAIN_00002_1.eml"
val spamData = spark.read.textFile(spamInput)
val normalData = spark.read.textFile(normalInput)
case class Feature(index: Int, value: String)
val indexer = new StringIndexer()
.setInputCol("value")
.setOutputCol("label")
val regexTokenizer = new RegexTokenizer()
.setInputCol("value")
.setOutputCol("cleared")
.setPattern("\\w+").setGaps(false)
val remover = new StopWordsRemover()
.setInputCol("cleared")
.setOutputCol("filtered")
val hashingTF = new HashingTF()
.setInputCol("filtered").setOutputCol("features")
.setNumFeatures(100)
val nb = new NaiveBayes()
val indexedSpam = spamData.map(x=>Feature(0, x))
val indexedNormal = normalData.map(x=>Feature(1, x))
val trainingData = indexedSpam.union(indexedNormal)
val pipeline = new Pipeline().setStages(Array (indexer, regexTokenizer, remover, hashingTF, nb))
val model = pipeline.fit(trainingData)
model.write.overwrite().save("myNaiveBayesModel")
val spamTest = spark.read.textFile("TEST_00009_0.eml")
val normalTest = spark.read.textFile("TEST_00000_1.eml")
val sameModel = PipelineModel.load("myNaiveBayesModel")
val evaluator = new MulticlassClassificationEvaluator()
.setLabelCol("label")
.setPredictionCol("prediction")
.setMetricName("accuracy")
Console.println("Spam Test")
val predictionSpam = sameModel.transform(spamTest).select("prediction")
predictionSpam.foreach(println(_))
val accuracy = evaluator.evaluate(predictionSpam)
println("Accuracy Spam: " + accuracy)
Console.println("Normal Test")
val predictionNorm = sameModel.transform(normalTest).select("prediction")
predictionNorm.foreach(println(_))
val accuracyNorm = evaluator.evaluate(predictionNorm)
println("Accuracy Normal: " + accuracyNorm)
The error occurs when initializing the MulticlassClassificationEvaluator. How should the column names be specified? Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

The error is in this line:
val predictionSpam = sameModel.transform(spamTest).select("prediction")
Your dataframe contains only prediction column and no label column.
