Curious. I wonder if we're running into the max size of pickle for serialization. Does the problem appear if you increase the max leaf size to say 100?
Can you also check to see if you received an out of memory error around that time?

Hi!
When I run training on 10M examples (each described by a small subset of 100K features), it breaks with the error:
.... Splitting 2033 Training classifier Splitting 1201 Training classifier Splitting 1323 Training classifier Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/queues.py", line 266, in _feed send(obj) IOError: bad message length
Do you know what is the reason and how it could be fixed?
I tried smaller datasets (100K, 1M examples) and the training worked for them.
Cheers, Michal

Any updates?
Thanks for the reply! I am rerunning with 100 max_leaf_size to see if it will pass, however I think it might hurt classification accuracy. I didn't see any out of memory error around that time.
It certainly possible it will; this is intended to test whether the tree is too large to serialize correctly. How many labels are you predicting?
I got 100K labels (and 100K features).
Any updates?
Thanks for following up. I am trying to run the training with --max_leaf_size 100 and --threads 5, but it seems to be training forever...
--threads 5 is going to hurt if you're using the default set of trees, which is 50. You might ramp that down to 5 trees for debugging purposes for the time being.
sounds good, i'll do that!
When running with 5 threads and 5 trees, I got this error message:

There we have it. How much memory does the machine have?
You'll want to try increasing the regularization coefficient to increase sparsity of the linear classifiers. You can also use the --subset flag to send only a subset of the data to each tree (ala random forests).
My machine has actually quite a lot of memory: mlukasik@mlukasik:~/workspace/fastxml_py$ cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 65865896 kB
Is it because we try to load all data at once?
