I've trained an AWS Machine Learning model with the training data from here : https://www.kaggle.com/c/titanic/data

I'm now trying to run a batch prediction with the test data from the same source but I get the following error when I try to load the data : " The schema in this data file must match the datasource used to create the ML model ml-xxxxxxxxx. Ensure that the data file you are using matches the schema structure."

The schema, as far as I can see, is identical. I have tried it with and without the 'survived' column which is the value I'm trying to predict. I even tried it with the same training set which obviously has an identical schema and got the same error.

What am I doing wrong?

I ran into the same problem today, tried googling for people having the same issue and found your question.

I solved my problem by creating the data source first and then running the prediction from there. So, instead of selecting the following option,

Batch Predictions > Create new batch prediction > ML model for batch prediction > My data is in S3, and I need to create a datasource

which fails, I first did:

Datasources > Create a new datasource...

Next, I ran the batch prediction from an existing datasource successfully.

One common reason that the schemas do not match up is that if you use the AML service to infer the attributes. I just found this as the root cause in my two data sets. In my test file, several attributes were inferred to be Numeric or Binary - when they were the opposite. Be sure to use the schema from your training data set to check the inferred schema of subsequent (test, eval, etc.) data sources.
