Sagemaker - batch transform] Internal server error : 500 - amazon-sagemaker

Question

I am trying to do a batch transform on a training dataset in an S3 bucket. I have followed this link:
https://github.com/aws-samples/quicksight-sagemaker-integration-blog
The training data on which transformation is being applied is of ~35 MB.
I am getting these errors:
Bad HTTP status received from algorithm: 500
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.
Process followed:
1. s3_input_train = sagemaker.TrainingInput(s3_data='s3://{}/{}/rawtrain/'.format(bucket, prefix), content_type='csv')
2. from sagemaker.sklearn.estimator import SKLearn
sagemaker_session = sagemaker.Session()

sklearn_preprocessor = SKLearn(
entry_point=script_path,
role=role,
train_instance_type="ml.c4.xlarge",
framework_version='0.20.0',
py_version = 'py3',
sagemaker_session=sagemaker_session)
sklearn_preprocessor.fit({'train': s3_input_train})
3. transform_train_output_path = 's3://{}/{}/{}/'.format(bucket, prefix, 'transformtrain-train-output')
scikit_learn_inferencee_model = sklearn_preprocessor.create_model(env={'TRANSFORM_MODE': 'feature-transform'})

assemble_with = 'Line',
output_path = transform_train_output_path,
accept = 'text/csv',
strategy = "MultiRecord",
max_payload =40,
instance_type='ml.m4.xlarge')
4. Preprocess training input
transformer_train.transform(s3_input_train.config['DataSource']['S3DataSource']['S3Uri'],
content_type='text/csv',
split_type = "Line")
print('Waiting for transform job: ' + transformer_train.latest_transform_job.job_name)

Please help.

As I can see you are referring to a post that is pretty old and has issues open on Github here with regards to the Input source and the configurations.
I encourage you to check out the latest examples here which shows how to visualize Amazon SageMaker machine learning predictions with Amazon QuickSight.
Additionally, if the problem persists please open a service request with AWS Support with job ARN to investigate future on the Internal Server Error.
