[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-30210) Give more informative error for BinaryClassificationEvaluator when data with only one label is provided

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-30210?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17257898#comment-17257898 ]

------------------------------------------------

+ [~hyukjin.kwon], I have two questions on this one:
 # Do you see anything wrong with how I tried to reproduce?
 # How long should we wait for reporter until closing the ticket?

>    Affects Versions: 3.1.0

> Hi all,
> When I was trying to do some machine learning work with pyspark I ran into a confusing error message:
> {{# Model and train/test set generated...}}
> {{ evaluator = BinaryClassificationEvaluator(labelCol=label, metricName='areaUnderROC')}}
> {{ prediction = model.transform(test_data)}}
> {{ auc = evaluator.evaluate(prediction)}}
> {{org.apache.spark.SparkException: Job aborted due to stage failure: Task 37 in stage 21.0 failed 4 times, most recent failure: Lost task 37.3 in stage 21.0 (TID 2811, 10.139.65.48, executor 16): java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException}}
>  After some investigation, I found that the issue was that the data I was trying to predict on only had one label represented, rather than both positive and negative labels. Easy enough to fix, but I would like to ask if we could replace this error with one that explicitly points out the issue. Would it be acceptable to have a check ahead of time on labels that ensures all labels are represented? Alternately, can we change the docs for BinaryClassificationEvaluator to explain what this error means?
