title: Text Classification using Spark ML
body: <p>I have a free text description based on which I need to perform a classification. For example the description can be that of an incident. Based on the description of the incident , I need to predict the risk associated with the event . For eg : "A murder in town" - this description is a candidate for "high" risk.</p>
  
  <p>I tried logistic regression but realized that currently there is support only for binary classification. For Multi class classification ( there are only three possible values ) based on free text description , what would be the most suitable algorithm? ( Linear Regression or Naive Bayes )</p>
