Often times, we have a method that takes some input with a default column names as inputs... e.g., Label and Features for trainers, Label and Score for evaluators, and so on, and so on. Indeed this was the subject of a discussion in issue #1524.
In these situations, it might be helpful if the error message, in addition to saying, "we could not find column Foo" might provide a gentle parenthetical suggestion along the lines of "(Did you remember to actually produce that column, or did you perhaps name it something else?)" might help get people thinking in the "right" direction.
Less sure about this one.
