Additional context
I am using version 0.7.0. My spark version is 2.4.5, and my hadoop version is 2.7.7. From what I saw on other issues, the cause of this error seems to be incompatible spark version, however my spark version should be correct.
I have tried using spark 2.4.7, but the results were the same.
I did run ./gradlew compileTestScala installDist in helloworld folder and TransmogrifAI folder before submitting the example, and I am under helloworld folder when I submitted the command.
I tried submitting it using $SPARK_HOME/bin/spark-submit --class com.salesforce.hw.titanic.OpTitanic build/libs/transmogrifai-helloworld-0.0.1-all.jar --run-type train --model-location /tmp/titanic-model --read-location Passenger=pwd/src/main/resources/TitanicDataset/TitanicPassengersTrainData.csv command, but the results were similar.
My java version is 1.8.0_161, and I have set JAVA_HOME correctly.
I did modifiy gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties, so that I could use a local gradle of version 5.2.1. Also I have modified the repositories in build.gradle to two faster mirrors. I am not sure if this is related to this problem.
I am running this example on a pseudo-cluster on a freshly configured CentOS7 virtual machine. Is this problem caused by the lack of some necessary libraries?

Which Scala version are you using?

[TechpriestW]

I think it was scala 2.11.8, but I can't remember very clearly. I don't have access to the device I was using anymore. I was pretty sure it was a version of scala 2.11 though.
