Description

I am a beginner in SynapseML. I have been using Spark for a long time, but after going through the entire SynapseML documentation, I feel very frustrated. I tried using PySpark, but when I followed the installation instructions in the documentation blindly, I encountered issues downloading two JAR files (jsch-0.1.54.jar and commons-math3-3.2.jar). Apart from these problems, there are quite a few environment issues. When I use Scala with SynapseML, I don’t face these environment problems. However, the Scala documentation for SynapseML is really terrible. I have no idea where to start!

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing SynapseML documentation and the Scala setup path. Clarify where a beginner should start, document the Scala environment and usage flow, and address the reported dependency-download context. Done means a newcomer can follow the Scala documentation without guessing which steps or environment are required.
