Wrong FS when loading PerceptronModel

Description

Saving a trained POS model to s3 and loading it back throws a java.lang.IllegalArgumentException exception with the message “Wrong FS, … expected: hdfs…”

Expected Behavior

A saved model (either standalone or as part of a spark PipelineModel) should be loadable from s3

Current Behavior

While the model can be saved at the moment, reading it back either as a standalone model or as part of a PipelineModel throws an exception. A sample stacktrace looks like this:

Possible Solution

The problem appears to be related to how the default FileSystem is used instead of inferring it from the given Path. Refer https://github.com/harsha2010/magellan/issues/114

Steps to Reproduce

The following code in Scala should help reproduce the problem:

new PerceptronApproach()
  .setInputCols(Array("sentence", "normalized"))
  .setOutputCol("pos")
  .fit(df)
  .save("s3://path")

val perceptronModel = PerceptronModel.read.load("s3://path") // throws an exception

Context

Since we use S3 as our DFS, saving and loading models to/from S3 is critical to model training and serving.

i was facing this issue, while trying to load PreTrained “explain_document_dl_en_2.4.3_2.4_1584626657780”
i fixed the point by setting up the hdfs uri for the spark executors
i can give more details later, i m trying to finalize the tests to confirm the solution
my environment is:
linux , spark 2.4.4, spark nlp 2.4.5, hdfs 3.3.1, IDE eclipse, programming language JAVA
from what i tested, the solution (just 1 line in the code) works like a charm
