Error when loading json model

[BMJHayward]

Steps to reproduce:

Train a model using e.g. ImportanceCmd:
$./bin/variant-spark --local -- importance -if data/chr22_1000.vcf -ff data/chr22-labels.csv -fc 22_16051249 -rn 10 -rbs 10 -om target/ch22-model.java -sr 13 -v

Then load that model using e.g. AnalyzeRFCmd:
$./bin/variant-spark --local -- analyze-rf -im target/ch22-model.json

Gives the following exception:

java.io.StreamCorruptedException: invalid stream header: 7B0A2020 at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readStreamHeader(ObjectInputStream.java:900) at java.io.ObjectInputStream.<init>(ObjectInputStream.java:358) at org.apache.spark.serializer.JavaDeserializationStream$$anon$1.<init>(JavaSerializer.scala:63) at org.apache.spark.serializer.JavaDeserializationStream.<init>(JavaSerializer.scala:63) at org.apache.spark.serializer.JavaSerializerInstance.deserializeStream(JavaSerializer.scala:122) at au.csiro.variantspark.cli.AnalyzeRFCmd$$anonfun$1.apply(AnalyzeRFCmd.scala:81) at au.csiro.variantspark.cli.AnalyzeRFCmd$$anonfun$1.apply(AnalyzeRFCmd.scala:80) at au.csiro.pbdava.ssparkle.common.utils.LoanUtils$.withCloseable(LoanUtils.scala:18) at au.csiro.variantspark.cli.AnalyzeRFCmd.run(AnalyzeRFCmd.scala:80) at au.csiro.sparkle.common.args4j.ArgsApp.run(ArgsApp.java:46) at au.csiro.sparkle.cmd.CmdApp.runApp(CmdApp.java:9) at au.csiro.sparkle.cmd.CmdApp.runApp(CmdApp.java:18) at au.csiro.sparkle.cmd.MultiCmdApp.runCommandOrClass(MultiCmdApp.java:58) at au.csiro.sparkle.cmd.MultiCmdApp.run(MultiCmdApp.java:54) at au.csiro.sparkle.cmd.CmdApp.runApp(CmdApp.java:9) at au.csiro.sparkle.cmd.CmdApp.runApp(CmdApp.java:18) at au.csiro.pbdava.ssparkle.common.arg4j.AppRunner$.mains(AppRunner.scala:17) at au.csiro.variantspark.cli.VariantSparkApp$.main(VariantSparkApp.scala:26) at au.csiro.variantspark.cli.VariantSparkApp.main(VariantSparkApp.scala)

This is because we can output trained models as json, but currently don't handle json format for input models.

I suggest creating a ModelInputArgs to mirror ModelOutputArgs, and add support for reading regular json files as an instance or RandomForestModel.

As you mention this error is caused by saving the model in java but trying to load a json file.
I'll close this issue since it's related to #149
