Hi Yanboo, Thank You, I very much appreciate your help. For the current use case, the data can fit into a single node. So, spark-sklearn seems to be good choice.
I have on question regarding this “If no, Spark MLlib provide CrossValidation which can run multiple machine learning algorithms parallel on distributed dataset and do parameter search. FYI: https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/ml-tuning.html#cross-validation<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__spark.apache.org_docs_latest_ml-2Dtuning.html-23cross-2Dvalidation&d=DwMFaQ&c=shNJtf5dKgNcPZ6Yh64b-A&r=wnzquyZN5LCZ2v6jPXe4F2nU9j4v9g_t24s63U3cYqE&m=FtsbdcfaOELxFW8EFphZgjTd7cl3Kc5oYsQ558EZb3A&s=lVvXRRGoh5uXJw-K246dNzogKEfb2yFYtxpTB9xxizo&e=>” If I understand correctly, it can run parameter search for cross-validation in parallel. However, currently Spark does not support running multiple algorithms (like Naïve Bayes, Random Forest, etc.) in parallel. Am I correct? If not, could you please point me to some resources where they have run multiple algorithms in parallel. Thank You very much. It is great help, I will try spark-sklearn.

My use case is something like this: A) Run multiple machine learning algorithm (Naive Bayes, ANN, Random Forest, etc.) in parallel. 1) Validate each algorithm using 10-fold cross-validation B) Feed the output of step A) in second layer machine learning algorithm. My question is: Can we run multiple machine learning algorithm in step A in parallel? Can we do cross-validation in parallel? Like, run 10 iterations of Naive Bayes training in parallel? I was not able to find any way to run the different algorithm in parallel. And it seems cross-validation also can not be done in parallel. I appreciate any suggestion to parallelize this use case.
