Yanbo Liang updated SPARK-11918: -------------------------------- Description: Weighted Least Squares (WLS) is one of the optimization method for solve Linear Regression (when #feature < 4096). But if the dataset is very ill condition (such as 0-1 based label used for classification and the equation is underdetermined), the WLS failed. The failure is caused by the underneath Cholesky Decomposition. This issue is easy to reproduce, you can train a LinearRegressionModel by "normal" solver with the example dataset(https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/data/mllib/sample_libsvm_data.txt). The following is the exception: {code} assertion failed: lapack.dpotrs returned 1. java.lang.AssertionError: assertion failed: lapack.dpotrs returned 1. at scala.Predef$.assert(Predef.scala:179) at org.apache.spark.mllib.linalg.CholeskyDecomposition$.solve(CholeskyDecomposition.scala:42) at org.apache.spark.ml.optim.WeightedLeastSquares.fit(WeightedLeastSquares.scala:117) at org.apache.spark.ml.regression.LinearRegression.train(LinearRegression.scala:180) at org.apache.spark.ml.regression.LinearRegression.train(LinearRegression.scala:67) at org.apache.spark.ml.Predictor.fit(Predictor.scala:90) {code} was: Weighted Least Squares (WLS) is one of the optimization method for solve Linear Regression (when #feature < 4096).
