XGBoost on spark on Windows 10: 'JavaPackage' object is not callable

Hi,

I am able to run xgboost on spark in CentOs once I built the Java packages and added the .jars to this env variable:

    os.environ[‘PYSPARK_SUBMIT_ARGS’] = ‘ — jar <my_path>\xgboost-jars\xgboost4j-0.90-spark.jar <my_path>\xgboost-jars\xgboost4j-0.90.jar pyspark-shell'
    from sparkxgb import XGBoostClassifier
    xgboost = XGBoostClassifier(
     featuresCol=…
    …
    nthread=…
    )

However I get this problem:

TypeError: ‘JavaPackage’ object is not callable
when copying these jars to my Windows 10 Enterprise and setting:

%env SPARK_JARS=’<my_path>\xgboost-jars\xgboost4j-spark-0.90.jar;<my_path>\xgboost-jars\xgboost4j-0.90.jar’
or
%env PYSPARK_SUBMIT_ARGS=’<my_path>\xgboost-jars\xgboost4j-spark-0.90.jar;<my_path>\xgboost-jars\xgboost4j-0.90.jar’

I know my spark is working because I was able to run this code on Windows.

Found similar issue is here, but discussion is closed and solution didn’t help me.

Java version “1.8.0_162”
Python 3.7.3
Scala code runner version 2.13.0

Any idea?
Thanks a lot!

Did you generate the JAR file from CentOS to Windows? Then the JAR file won’t contain the correct binary to run on Windows. Note: XGBoost JAR contains native code and thus need to be compiled separately for each OS platform.

Thank you for replying to me!
Yes, I generated the JARs in CentOS and copied over to Windows. According to your answer, I need to generate them in Windows. So to follow these steps from here:
mvn -DskipTests=true package
mvn -DskipTests install

I downloaded apache-maven-3.6.1-bin.tar.gz (instructions), uncompressed it and set my Windows env variables to:
created M3_HOME= C:\Users<user>\Documents\apache-maven-3.6.1
added to PATH %M3_HOME%\bin

However when I run ‘mvn test’ under the folder ‘/xgboost/jvm-packages’, I get this error:

Need to break into two posts because of the limit of links.
This is the error:

Thanks!

For some reason, you may be experiencing connection issues when connecting to Maven Central. I’m afraid there’s not much we can help here.

You are right. I have solved the connection problem by adding this file ~/.m2/settings.xml. For the ones that had the same problem, the content of the file is here.

Now I am building the python packages. Will update once it is done.

Thanks, @hcho3!

Some progress but not there yet…

On /xgboost/jvm-packages (release_0.90), when I run ‘mvn clean package’, I get these errors:

Just a quick update:
Probably it won’t work with JDK 12 as I tested, but by mistake I was pointing to the jre instead of JDK1.8. Testing now with some progress. Will update if everything goes well. :slight_smile:

Now the JAR files were created! But here is the current error not yet solved:

Hi,
I continue with the error below. I’d appreciate any help!
Thanks!
