Naive Bayes Classifiers. It supports Multinomial NB (see here) which can handle finitely supported discrete data. For example, by converting documents into TF-IDF vectors, it can be used for document classification. By making every vector a binary (0/1) data, it can also be used as Bernoulli NB (see here). The input feature values must be nonnegative.

...)A spark_connection, ml_pipeline, or a tbl_spark.
Used when x is a tbl_spark. R formula as a character string or a formula. This is used to transform the input dataframe before fitting, see ft_r_formula for details.
The model type. Supported options: "multinomial"
and "bernoulli". (default = multinomial)
The (Laplace) smoothing parameter. Defaults to 1.
Thresholds in multi-class classification to adjust the probability of predicting each class. Array must have length equal to the number of classes, with values > 0 excepting that at most one value may be 0. The class with largest value p/t is predicted, where p is the original probability of that class and t is the class's threshold.
(Spark 2.1.0+) Weight column name. If this is not set or empty, we treat all instance weights as 1.0.
Features column name, as a length-one character vector. The column should be single vector column of numeric values. Usually this column is output by ft_r_formula.
Label column name. The column should be a numeric column. Usually this column is output by ft_r_formula.
Prediction column name.
Column name for predicted class conditional probabilities.
Raw prediction (a.k.a. confidence) column name.
A character string used to uniquely identify the ML estimator.
Optional arguments; see Details.
The object returned depends on the class of x.
spark_connection: When x is a spark_connection, the function returns an instance of a ml_predictor object. The object contains a pointer to
a Spark Predictor object and can be used to compose
Pipeline objects.
ml_pipeline: When x is a ml_pipeline, the function returns a ml_pipeline with
the predictor appended to the pipeline.
tbl_spark: When x is a tbl_spark, a predictor is constructed then
immediately fit with the input tbl_spark, returning a prediction model.
tbl_spark, with formula: specified When formula
is specified, the input tbl_spark is first transformed using a
RFormula transformer before being fit by
the predictor. The object returned in this case is a ml_model which is a
wrapper of a ml_pipeline_model.
When x is a tbl_spark and formula (alternatively, response and features) is specified, the function returns a ml_model object wrapping a ml_pipeline_model which contains data pre-processing transformers, the ML predictor, and, for classification models, a post-processing transformer that converts predictions into class labels. For classification, an optional argument predicted_label_col (defaults to "predicted_label") can be used to specify the name of the predicted label column. In addition to the fitted ml_pipeline_model, ml_model objects also contain a ml_pipeline object where the ML predictor stage is an estimator ready to be fit against data. This is utilized by ml_save with type = "pipeline" to faciliate model refresh workflows.
