Apply command on a large field

Hi everyone, I am trying to apply logistic regression to predict phishing based on a baseline of phishing emails data. But, the issue I am facing is that, the apply command execution inside Splunk is not consistent, it was working fine, but now, the job is stuck at Finalizing.
When I inspected the job, it has these 2 errors.

  1. With the python csv module - Error: field larger than field limit splunk
  2. With the apply command - Error in 'apply' command: Failed to load model

I have tried clearing the cache, recreating the fit and apply model, nothing works. Not sure how to resolve this issue. Can someone please help me on this?

This is most likely a hardware limitation. Have you attempted to predict then do a partial fit on new data coming in? How big is your data set? How far back are you looking? Have you attempted to normalize your data through pre-processing? Whats your hardware look like?

I think this can be resolved by increasing the default kv limit value as described here:

Can you try increasing kv in limits.conf, restarting splunk and then trying again?

Thanks,
