Set up Spark Context and Spark session

  Load the Data set

  Deal with categorical data and Covert the data to dense vectors(Features and Label)

  Transform the dataset to dataframe

  Identify categorical features, and index them

  Split the data into train and test set

  Predict using the test set

  Evaluate the metrics
