New Users

If you’re just getting started with H2O, here are some links to help you learn more:

Experienced Users

If you’ve used previous versions of H2O, the following links will help guide you through the process of upgrading to H2O 3.0.

Enterprise Users

If you’re considering using H2O in an enterprise environment, you’ll be happy to know that H2O supports many popular scalable computing solutions, such as Hadoop and EC2 (AWS). For more information, refer to the following links.

Sparkling Water Users

Sparkling Water is a gradle project with the following submodules:

The best way to get started is to modify the core module or create a new module, which extends a project.

Users of our Spark-compatible solution, Sparkling Water, should be aware that Sparkling Water is only supported with the latest version of H2O. For more information about Sparkling Water, refer to the following links.

Sparkling Water is versioned according to the Spark versioning:

Python Users

Pythonistas will be glad to know that H2O now provides support for this popular programming language. Python users can also use H2O with IPython notebooks. For more information, refer to the following links.

R Users

Don’t worry, R users - we still provide R support in the latest version of H2O, just as before. The R components of H2O have been cleaned up, simplified, and standardized, so the command format is easier and more intuitive. Due to these improvements, be aware that any scripts created with previous versions of H2O will need some revision to be compatible with the latest version.

We have provided the following helpful resources to assist R users in upgrading to the latest version, including a document that outlines the differences between versions and a tool that reviews scripts for deprecated or renamed parameters.

Currently, the only version of R that is known to be incompatible with H2O is R version 3.1.0 (codename “Spring Dance”). If you are using that version, we recommend upgrading the R version before using H2O.

API Users

API users will be happy to know that the APIs have been more thoroughly documented in the latest release of H2O and additional capabilities (such as exporting weights and biases for Deep Learning models) have been added.

REST APIs are generated immediately out of the code, allowing users to implement machine learning in many ways. For example, REST APIs could be used to call a model created by sensor data and to set up auto-alerts if the sensor data falls below a specified threshold.

Java Users

For Java developers, the following resources will help you create your own custom app that uses H2O.

SDK Information

The Java API is generated and accessible from the download page.

Developers

If you’re looking to use H2O to help you develop your own apps, the following links will provide helpful references.

For the latest version of IDEA IntelliJ, run ./gradlew idea, then click File > Open within IDEA. Select the .ipr file in the repository and click the Choose button.

For older versions of IDEA IntelliJ, run ./gradlew idea, then Import Project within IDEA and point it to the h2o-3 directory.

Note: This process will take longer, so we recommend using the first method if possible.

For JUnit tests to pass, you may need multiple H2O nodes. Create a “Run/Debug” configuration with the following parameters: 

Type: Application
Main class: H2OApp
Use class path of module: h2o-app

After starting multiple “worker” node processes in addition to the JUnit test process, they will cloud up and run the multi-node JUnit tests.

Downloading H2O

To download H2O, go to our downloads page. Select a build type (bleeding edge or latest alpha), then select an installation method (standalone, R, Python, Hadoop, or Maven) by clicking the tabs at the top of the page. Follow the instructions in the tab to install H2O.

Starting H2O …

There are a variety of ways to start H2O, depending on which client you would like to use.

… From R

To use H2O in R, follow the instructions on the download page.

… From Python

To use H2O in Python, follow the instructions on the download page.

… On Spark

To use H2O on Spark, follow the instructions on the Sparkling Water download page.

… From the Cmd Line

You can use Terminal (OS X) or the Command Prompt (Windows) to launch H2O 3.0. When you launch from the command line, you can include additional instructions to H2O 3.0, such as how many nodes to launch, how much memory to allocate for each node, assign names to the nodes in the cloud, and more.

Note: H2O requires some space in the /tmp directory to launch. If you cannot launch H2O, try freeing up some space in the /tmp directory, then try launching H2O again.

For more detailed instructions on how to build and launch H2O, including how to clone the repository, how to pull from the repository, and how to install required dependencies, refer to the developer documentation.

There are two different argument types:

The arguments use the following format: java <JVM Options> -jar h2o.jar <H2O Options>.

JVM Options

Note: Do not try to launch H2O with more memory than you have available.

H2O Options

Cloud Formation Behavior

New H2O nodes join to form a cloud during launch. After a job has started on the cloud, it prevents new members from joining.

Wait for the INFO: Registered: # schemas in: #mS output before entering the above command again to add another node (the number for # will vary).

Flatfile Configuration for Multi-Node Clusters

Running H2O on a multi-node cluster allows you to use more memory for large-scale tasks (for example, creating models from huge datasets) than would be possible on a single node.

If you are configuring many nodes, using the -flatfile option is fast and easy. The -flatfile option is used to define a list of potential cloud peers. However, it is not an alternative to -ip and -port, which should be used to bind the IP and port address of the node you are using to launch H2O.

To configure H2O on a multi-node cluster:

  1. Locate a set of hosts that will be used to create your cluster. A host can be a server, an EC2 instance, or your laptop.
  2. Download the appropriate version of H2O for your environment.
  3. Verify the same h2o.jar file is available on each host in the multi-node cluster.

  4. Create a flatfile.txt that contains an IP address and port number for each H2O instance. Use one entry per line. For example:

    192.168.1.163:54321
192.168.1.164:54321
  5. Copy the flatfile.txt to each node in the cluster.

  6. Use the -Xmx option to specify the amount of memory for each node. The cluster’s memory capacity is the sum of all H2O nodes in the cluster.

    For example, if you create a cluster with four 20g nodes (by specifying -Xmx20g four times), H2O will have a total of 80 gigs of memory available.

    For best performance, we recommend sizing your cluster to be about four times the size of your data. To avoid swapping, the -Xmx allocation must not exceed the physical memory on any node. Allocating the same amount of memory for all nodes is strongly recommended, as H2O works best with symmetric nodes.

    Note the optional -ip and -port options specify the IP address and ports to use. The -ip option is especially helpful for hosts with multiple network interfaces.

    java -Xmx20g -jar h2o.jar -flatfile flatfile.txt -port 54321

    The output will resemble the following: 

     04-20 16:14:00.253 192.168.1.70:54321    2754   main      INFO:   1. Open a terminal and run 'ssh -L 55555:localhost:54321 H2O-3User@###.###.#.##'

… On EC2 and S3

Note: If you would like to try out H2O on an EC2 cluster, play.h2o.ai is the easiest way to get started. H2O Play provides access to a temporary cluster managed by H2O.

If you would still like to set up your own EC2 cluster, follow the instructions below.

On EC2

Tested on Redhat AMI, Amazon Linux AMI, and Ubuntu AMI

To use the Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 storage solution, you will need to pass your S3 access credentials to H2O. This will allow you to access your data on S3 when importing data frames with path prefixes s3n://....

For security reasons, we recommend writing a script to read the access credentials that are stored in a separate file. This will not only keep your credentials from propagating to other locations, but it will also make it easier to change the credential information later.

Standalone Instance

When running H2O in standalone mode using the simple Java launch command, we can pass in the S3 credentials in two ways.

Multi-Node Instance

Python and the boto Python library are required to launch a multi-node instance of H2O on EC2. Confirm these dependencies are installed before proceeding.

For more information, refer to the H2O EC2 repo.

Build a cluster of EC2 instances by running the following commands on the host that can access the nodes using a public DNS name.

  1. Edit h2o-cluster-launch-instances.py to include your SSH key name and security group name, as well as any other environment-specific variables. 

      ./h2o-cluster-launch-instances.py
  ./h2o-cluster-distribute-h2o.sh

    —OR—

      ./h2o-cluster-launch-instances.py
  ./h2o-cluster-download-h2o.sh

    Note: The second method may be faster than the first, since download pulls from S3.

  1. Distribute the credentials using ./h2o-cluster-distribute-aws-credentials.sh.

    Note: If you are running H2O using an IAM role, it is not necessary to distribute the AWS credentials to all the nodes in the cluster. The latest version of H2O can access the temporary access key.

    Caution: Distributing the AWS credentials copies the Amazon AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY to the instances to enable S3 and S3N access. Use caution when adding your security keys to the cloud.

  2. Start H2O by launching one H2O node per EC2 instance: ./h2o-cluster-start-h2o.sh

    Wait 60 seconds after entering the command before entering it on the next node.

  3. In your internet browser, substitute any of the public DNS node addresses for IP_ADDRESS in the following example: http://IP_ADDRESS:54321

    • To start H2O: ./h2o-cluster-start-h2o.sh
    • To stop H2O: ./h2o-cluster-stop-h2o.sh
    • To shut down the cluster, use your Amazon AWS console to shut down the cluster manually.

Core-site.xml Example

The following is an example core-site.xml file: 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?>

<!-- Put site-specific property overrides in this file. -->

<configuration>

    <!--
    <property>
    <name>fs.default.name</name>
    <value>s3n://<your s3 bucket></value>
    </property>
    -->

    <property>
        <name>fs.s3n.awsAccessKeyId</name>
        <value>insert access key here</value>
    </property>

    <property>
        <name>fs.s3n.awsSecretAccessKey</name>
        <value>insert secret key here</value>
    </property>
    </configuration>

Launching H2O

Note: Before launching H2O on an EC2 cluster, verify that ports 54321 and 54322 are both accessible by TCP and UDP.

Selecting the Operating System and Virtualization Type

Select your operating system and the virtualization type of the prebuilt AMI on Amazon. If you are using Windows, you will need to use a hardware-assisted virtual machine (HVM). If you are using Linux, you can choose between para-virtualization (PV) and HVM. These selections determine the type of instances you can launch.

EC2 Systems

For more information about virtualization types, refer to Amazon.

Configuring the Instance

  1. Select the IAM role and policy to use to launch the instance. H2O detects the temporary access keys associated with the instance, so you don’t need to copy your AWS credentials to the instances.

    EC2 Configuration

  2. When launching the instance, select an accessible key pair.

    EC2 Key Pair

(Windows Users) Tunneling into the Instance

For Windows users that do not have the ability to use ssh from the terminal, either download Cygwin or a Git Bash that has the capability to run ssh:

ssh -i amy_account.pem ec2-user@54.165.25.98

Otherwise, download PuTTY and follow these instructions:

  1. Launch the PuTTY Key Generator.
  2. Load your downloaded AWS pem key file. Note: To see the file, change the browser file type to “All”.

  3. Save the private key as a .ppk file.

    Private Key

  4. Launch the PuTTY client.

  5. In the Session section, enter the host name or IP address. For Ubuntu users, the default host name is ubuntu@<ip-address>. For Linux users, the default host name is ec2-user@<ip-address>.

    Configuring Session

  6. Select SSH, then Auth in the sidebar, and click the Browse button to select the private key file for authentication.

    Configuring SSH

  7. Start a new session and click the Yes button to confirm caching of the server’s rsa2 key fingerprint and continue connecting.

    PuTTY Alert

Downloading Java and H2O

  1. Download Java (JDK 1.7 or later) if it is not already available on the instance.

  2. To download H2O, run the wget command with the link to the zip file available on our website by copying the link associated with the Download button for the selected H2O build. 

     wget http://h2o-release.s3.amazonaws.com/h2o/rel-slater/1/index.html
 unzip h2o-3.2.0.1.zip
 cd h2o-3.2.0.1
 java -Xmx4g -jar h2o.jar

  3. From your browser, navigate to <Private_IP_Address>:54321 or <Public_DNS>:54321 to use H2O’s web interface.

… On Hadoop

Currently supported versions:

Important Points to Remember:

Prerequisite: Open Communication Paths

H2O communicates using two communication paths. Verify these are open and available for use by H2O.

Path 1: mapper to driver

Optionally specify this port using the -driverport option in the hadoop jar command (see “Hadoop Launch Parameters” below). This port is opened on the driver host (the host where you entered the hadoop jar command). By default, this port is chosen randomly by the operating system.

Path 2: mapper to mapper

Optionally specify this port using the -baseport option in the hadoop jar command (refer to Hadoop Launch Parameters below. This port and the next subsequent port are opened on the mapper hosts (the Hadoop worker nodes) where the H2O mapper nodes are placed by the Resource Manager. By default, ports 54321 (TCP) and 54322 (TCP & UDP) are used.

The mapper port is adaptive: if 54321 and 54322 are not available, H2O will try 54323 and 54324 and so on. The mapper port is designed to be adaptive because sometimes if the YARN cluster is low on resources, YARN will place two H2O mappers for the same H2O cluster request on the same physical host. For this reason, we recommend opening a range of more than two ports (20 ports should be sufficient).

Tutorial

The following tutorial will walk the user through the download or build of H2O and the parameters involved in launching H2O from the command line.

  1. Download the latest H2O release for your version of Hadoop:

     wget http://h2o-release.s3.amazonaws.com/h2o/master/1/h2o-3.2.0.1-cdh5.2.zip
 wget http://h2o-release.s3.amazonaws.com/h2o/master/1/h2o-3.2.0.1-cdh5.3.zip
 wget http://h2o-release.s3.amazonaws.com/h2o/master/1/h2o-3.2.0.1-hdp2.1.zip
 wget http://h2o-release.s3.amazonaws.com/h2o/master/1/h2o-3.2.0.1-hdp2.2.zip
 wget http://h2o-release.s3.amazonaws.com/h2o/master/1/h2o-3.2.0.1-mapr3.1.1.zip
 wget http://h2o-release.s3.amazonaws.com/h2o/master/1/h2o-3.2.0.1-mapr4.0.1.zip

    Note: Enter only one of the above commands.

  2. Prepare the job input on the Hadoop Node by unzipping the build file and changing to the directory with the Hadoop and H2O’s driver jar files.

     unzip h2o-3.2.0.1-*.zip
 cd h2o-3.2.0.1-*

  3. To launch H2O nodes and form a cluster on the Hadoop cluster, run:

     hadoop jar h2odriver.jar -nodes 1 -mapperXmx 6g -output hdfsOutputDirName

    • The above command launches a 6g node of H2O. We recommend you launch the cluster with at least four times the memory of your data file size.

    • mapperXmx is the mapper size or the amount of memory allocated to each node. Specify at least 6 GB.

    • nodes is the number of nodes requested to form the cluster.

    • output is the name of the directory created each time a H2O cloud is created so it is necessary for the name to be unique each time it is launched.

  4. To monitor your job, direct your web browser to your standard job tracker Web UI. To access H2O’s Web UI, direct your web browser to one of the launched instances. If you are unsure where your JVM is launched, review the output from your command after the nodes has clouded up and formed a cluster. Any of the nodes’ IP addresses will work as there is no master node.

Hadoop Launch Parameters

Accessing S3 Data from Hadoop

H2O launched on Hadoop can access S3 Data in addition to to HDFS. To enable access, follow the instructions below.

Edit Hadoop’s core-site.xml, then set the HADOOP_CONF_DIR environment property to the directory containing the core-site.xml file. For an example core-site.xml file, refer to Core-site.xml. Typically, the configuration directory for most Hadoop distributions is /etc/hadoop/conf.

You can also pass the S3 credentials when launching H2O with the Hadoop jar command. Use the -D flag to pass the credentials:

    hadoop jar h2odriver.jar -Dfs.s3.awsAccessKeyId="${AWS_ACCESS_KEY}" -Dfs.s3n.awsSecretAccessKey="${AWS_SECRET_KEY}" -n 3 -mapperXmx 10g  -output outputDirectory

where AWS_ACCESS_KEY represents your user name and AWS_SECRET_KEY represents your password.

Then import the data with the S3 URL path:

… Using Docker

This walkthrough describes:

Walkthrough

Prerequisites

Note: Older Linux kernel versions are known to cause kernel panics and to break Docker; there are ways around it, but attempt at your own risk. You can check the version of your kernel by running uname -r in your terminal. The following walkthrough has been tested on a Mac OS X 10.10.1.

Step 1 - Install and Launch Docker

Step 2 - Create or Download Dockerfile

Create a folder on the Host OS to host your Dockerfile by running:

mkdir -p /data/h2o-shannon

Then either download or create a Dockerfile. The Dockerfile is essentially a build recipe that will be used to build the container.

Download and use our Dockerfile template by running:

cd /data/h2o-shannon
wget http://h2o.ai/blog/2015_01_h2o-docker/Dockerfile

The Dockerfile will:

Step 3 - Build Docker image from Dockerfile

From the /data/h2o-shannon directory, run:

docker build -t="h2o.ai/shannon" .

This process can take a few minutes as it assembles all the necessary parts to the image.

Step 4 - Run Docker Build

On a Mac, you must use the argument -p 54321:54321 to expressly map the port 54321. This is redundant on Linux.

docker run -it -p 54321:54321 h2o.ai/shannon

Step 5 - Launch H2O

Step into the /opt directory and launch H2O. Change the value of -Xmx to the amount of memory you want to allocate to the H2O instance. By default, H2O launches on port 54321.

cd /opt
java -Xmx1g -jar h2o.jar

Step 6 - Access H2O from the web browser or R

03:58:25.963 main      INFO WATER: Cloud of size 1 formed [/172.17.0.5:54321 (00:00:00.000)]

$ boot2docker ip
192.168.59.103

Once you have the IP address, point your browser to the specified ip address and port. In R, you can access the instance by installing the latest version of the H2O R package and running:

library(h2o)
dockerH2O <- h2o.init(ip = "192.168.59.103", port = 54321)

Flow Web UI …

H2O Flow is an open-source user interface for H2O. It is a web-based interactive environment that allows you to combine code execution, text, mathematics, plots, and rich media in a single document.

With H2O Flow, you can capture, rerun, annotate, present, and share your workflow. H2O Flow allows you to use H2O interactively to import files, build models, and iteratively improve them. Based on your models, you can make predictions and add rich text to create vignettes of your work - all within Flow’s browser-based environment.

Flow’s hybrid user interface seamlessly blends command-line computing with a modern graphical user interface. However, rather than displaying output as plain text, Flow provides a point-and-click user interface for every H2O operation. It allows you to access any H2O object in the form of well-organized tabular data.

H2O Flow sends commands to H2O as a sequence of executable cells. The cells can be modified, rearranged, or saved to a library. Each cell contains an input field that allows you to enter commands, define functions, call other functions, and access other cells or objects on the page. When you execute the cell, the output is a graphical object, which can be inspected to view additional details.

While H2O Flow supports REST API, R scripts, and CoffeeScript, no programming experience is required to run H2O Flow. You can click your way through any H2O operation without ever writing a single line of code. You can even disable the input cells to run H2O Flow using only the GUI. H2O Flow is designed to guide you every step of the way, by providing input prompts, interactive help, and example flows.

REST API documentation

Before getting started with H2O Flow, make sure you understand the different cell modes. Certain actions can only be performed when the cell is in a specific mode.

Understanding Cell Modes

There are two modes for cells: edit and command.

Using Edit Mode

In edit mode, the cell is yellow with a blinking bar to indicate where text can be entered and there is an orange flag to the left of the cell.

Edit Mode

Using Command Mode

In command mode, the flag is yellow. The flag also indicates the cell’s format:

NOTE: If there is an error in the cell, the flag is red.

Cell error

If the cell is executing commands, the flag is teal. The flag returns to yellow when the task is complete.

Cell executing

Changing Cell Formats

To change the cell’s format (for example, from code to Markdown), make sure you are in command (not edit) mode and that the cell you want to change is selected. The easiest way to do this is to click on the flag to the left of the cell. Enter the keyboard shortcut for the format you want to use. The flag’s text changes to display the current format.

Note: If there is an error in the flow, H2O Flow stops at the cell that contains the error.

Using Keyboard Shortcuts

Here are some important keyboard shortcuts to remember:

The following commands must be entered in command mode.

You can view these shortcuts by clicking Help > Keyboard Shortcuts or by clicking the Help tab in the sidebar.

Using Variables in Cells

Variables can be used to store information such as download locations. To use a variable in Flow:

  1. Define the variable in a code cell (for example, locA = "https://h2o-public-test-data.s3.amazonaws.com/bigdata/laptop/kdd2009/small-churn/kdd_train.csv"). Flow variable definition
  2. Run the cell. H2O validates the variable. Flow variable validation
  3. Use the variable in another code cell (for example, importFiles [locA]). Flow variable example To further simplify your workflow, you can save the cells containing the variables and definitions as clips.

Using Flow Buttons

There are also a series of buttons at the top of the page below the flow name that allow you to save the current flow, add a new cell, move cells up or down, run the current cell, and cut, copy, or paste the current cell. If you hover over the button, a description of the button’s function displays.

Flow buttons

You can also use the menus at the top of the screen to edit the order of the cells, toggle specific format types (such as input or output), create models, or score models. You can also access troubleshooting information or obtain help with Flow.

Flow menus

Note: To disable the code input and use H2O Flow strictly as a GUI, click the Cell menu, then Toggle Cell Input.

Now that you are familiar with the cell modes, let’s import some data.

… Importing Data

If you don’t have any data of your own to work with, you can find some example datasets here:

There are multiple ways to import data in H2O flow:

After selecting the file to import, the file path displays in the “Search Results” section. To import a single file, click the plus sign next to the file. To import all files in the search results, click the Add all link. The files selected for import display in the “Selected Files” section. Import Files

Note: If the file is compressed, it will only be read using a single thread. For best performance, we recommend uncompressing the file before importing, as this will allow use of the faster multithreaded distributed parallel reader during import. Please note that .zip files containing multiple files are not currently supported.

After you click the Import button, the raw code for the current job displays. A summary displays the results of the file import, including the number of imported files and their Network File System (nfs) locations.

Import Files - Results

Uploading Data

To upload a local file, click the Data menu and select Upload File…. Click the Choose File button, select the file, click the Choose button, then click the Upload button.

File Upload Pop-Up

When the file has uploaded successfully, a message displays in the upper right and the Setup Parse cell displays.

File Upload Successful

Ok, now that your data is available in H2O Flow, let’s move on to the next step: parsing. Click the Parse these files button to continue.

Parsing Data

After you have imported your data, parse the data.

Flow - Parse options

The read-only Sources field displays the file path for the imported data selected for parsing.

The ID contains the auto-generated name for the parsed data (by default, the file name of the imported file with .hex as the file extension). Use the default name or enter a custom name in this field.

Select the parser type (if necessary) from the drop-down Parser list. For most data parsing, H2O automatically recognizes the data type, so the default settings typically do not need to be changed. The following options are available:

If a separator or delimiter is used, select it from the Separator list.

Select a column header option, if applicable:

Select any necessary additional options:

A preview of the data displays in the “Edit Column Names and Types” section.

To change or add a column name, edit or enter the text in the column’s entry field. In the screenshot below, the entry field for column 16 is highlighted in red.

Flow - Column Name Entry Field

To change the column type, select the drop-down list to the right of the column name entry field and select the data type. The options are:

You can search for a column by entering it in the Search by column name… entry field above the first column name entry field. As you type, H2O displays the columns that match the specified search terms.

Note: Only custom column names are searchable. Default column names cannot be searched.

To navigate the data preview, click the <- Previous page or -> Next page buttons.

Flow - Pagination buttons

After making your selections, click the Parse button.

After you click the Parse button, the code for the current job displays.

Flow - Parse code

Since we’ve submitted a couple of jobs (data import & parse) to H2O now, let’s take a moment to learn more about jobs in H2O.

Viewing Jobs

Any command (such as importFiles) you enter in H2O is submitted as a job, which is associated with a key. The key identifies the job within H2O and is used as a reference.

Viewing All Jobs

To view all jobs, click the Admin menu, then click Jobs, or enter getJobs in a cell in CS mode.

View Job - Model

The following information displays:

NOTE: For a better understanding of how jobs work, make sure to review the Viewing Frames section as well.

Ok, now that you understand how to find jobs in H2O, let’s submit a new one by building a model.

… Building Models

To build a model:

The Build Model… button can be accessed from any page containing the .hex key for the parsed data (for example, getJobs > getFrame). The following image depicts the K-Means model type. Available options vary depending on model type.

Model Builder

In the Build a Model cell, select an algorithm from the drop-down menu:

The available options vary depending on the selected model. If an option is only available for a specific model type, the model type is listed. If no model type is specified, the option is applicable to all model types.

  4. Click the Build Model button. The model will resume training.

Interpreting Model Results

Scoring history: GBM, DL Represents the error rate of the model as it is built. Typically, the error rate will be higher at the beginning (the left side of the graph) then decrease as the model building completes and accuracy improves.

Scoring History example

Variable importances: GBM, DL Represents the statistical significance of each variable in the data in terms of its affect on the model. Variables are listed in order of most to least importance. To view the scaled importance value of a variable, use your mouse to hover over the bar representing the variable.

Variable Importances example

Confusion Matrix: DL Table depicting performance of algorithm in terms of false positives, false negatives, true positives, and true negatives. The actual results display in the columns and the predictions display in the rows; correct predictions are highlighted in yellow. In the example below, 0 was predicted correctly 902 times, while 8 was predicted correctly 822 times and 0 was predicted as 4 once.

Confusion Matrix example

ROC Curve: DL, GLM Graph representing the ratio of true positives to false positives. To view a specific threshold, select a value from the drop-down Threshold list. To view any of the following details, select it from the drop-down Criterion list:

The lower-left side of the graph represents less tolerance for false positives while the upper-right represents more tolerance for false positives. Ideally, a highly accurate ROC resembles the following example.

Select one of the above options from the drop-down Color menu to display the specified data in color, then click the Plot button to plot the data.

Flow - Plotting Frames

Note: Because H2O stores enums internally as numeric then maps the integers to an array of strings, any min, max, or mean values for categorical columns are not meaningful and should be ignored. Displays for categorical data will be modified in a future version of H2O.

… Using Flows

You can use and modify flows in a variety of ways:

Using Clips

Clips enable you to save cells containing your workflow for later reuse. To save a cell as a clip, click the paperclip icon to the right of the cell (highlighted in the red box in the following screenshot). Paperclip icon

To use a clip in a workflow, click the “Clips” tab in the sidebar on the right.

Clips tab

All saved clips, including the default system clips (such as assist, importFiles, and predict), are listed. Clips you have created are listed under the “My Clips” heading. To select a clip to insert, click the circular button to the left of the clip name. To delete a clip, click the trashcan icon to right of the clip name.

NOTE: The default clips listed under “System” cannot be deleted.

Deleted clips are stored in the trash. To permanently delete all clips in the trash, click the Empty Trash button.

NOTE: Saved data, including flows and clips, are persistent as long as the same IP address is used for the cluster. If a new IP is used, previously saved flows and clips are not available.

Viewing Outlines

The Outline tab in the sidebar displays a brief summary of the cells currently used in your flow; essentially, a command history.

Saving Flows

You can save your flow for later reuse. To save your flow as a notebook, click the “Save” button (the first button in the row of buttons below the flow name), or click the drop-down “Flow” menu and select “Save Flow.” To enter a custom name for the flow, click the default flow name (“Untitled Flow”) and type the desired flow name. A pencil icon indicates where to enter the desired name.

Renaming Flows

To confirm the name, click the checkmark to the right of the name field.

Confirm Name

To reuse a saved flow, click the “Flows” tab in the sidebar, then click the flow name. To delete a saved flow, click the trashcan icon to the right of the flow name.

Flows

Finding Saved Flows on your Disk

By default, flows are saved to the h2oflows directory underneath your home directory. The directory where flows are saved is printed to stdout:

03-20 14:54:20.945 172.16.2.39:54323     95667  main      INFO: Flow dir: '/Users/<UserName>/h2oflows'

To back up saved flows, copy this directory to your preferred backup location.

To specify a different location for saved flows, use the command-line argument -flow_dir when launching H2O:

java -jar h2o.jar -flow_dir /<New>/<Location>/<For>/<Saved>/<Flows>

where /<New>/<Location>/<For>/<Saved>/<Flows> represents the specified location. If the directory does not exist, it will be created the first time you save a flow.

Saving Flows on a Hadoop cluster

If you are running H2O Flow on a Hadoop cluster, H2O will try to find the HDFS home directory to use as the default directory for flows. If the HDFS home directory is not found, flows cannot be saved unless a directory is specified while launching using -flow_dir:

hadoop jar h2odriver.jar -nodes 1 -mapperXmx 6g -output hdfsOutputDirName -flow_dir hdfs:///<Saved>/<Flows>/<Location>

The location specified in flow_dir may be either an hdfs or regular filesystem directory. If the directory does not exist, it will be created the first time you save a flow.

Copying Flows

To create a copy of the current flow, select the Flow menu, then click Make a Copy. The name of the current flow changes to Copy of <FlowName> (where <FlowName> is the name of the flow). You can save the duplicated flow using this name by clicking Flow > Save Flow, or rename it before saving.

Downloading Flows

After saving a flow as a notebook, click the Flow menu, then select Download this Flow. A new window opens and the saved flow is downloaded to the default downloads folder on your computer. The file is exported as <filename>.flow, where <filename> is the name specified when the flow was saved.

Caution: You must have an active internet connection to download flows.

Loading Flows

To load a saved flow, click the Flows tab in the sidebar at the right. In the pop-up confirmation window that appears, select Load Notebook, or click Cancel to return to the current flow.

Confirm Replace Flow

After clicking Load Notebook, the saved flow is loaded.

To load an exported flow, click the Flow menu and select Open Flow…. In the pop-up window that appears, click the Choose File button and select the exported flow, then click the Open button.

K-Means

Introduction

K-Means falls in the general category of clustering algorithms.

Defining a K-Means Model

Interpreting a K-Means Model

By default, the following output displays:

K-Means randomly chooses starting points and converges to a local minimum of centroids. The number of clusters is arbitrary, and should be thought of as a tuning parameter. The output is a matrix of the cluster assignments and the coordinates of the cluster centers in terms of the originally chosen attributes. Your cluster centers may differ slightly from run to run as this problem is Non-deterministic Polynomial-time (NP)-hard.

FAQ

K-Means Algorithm

The number of clusters \(K\) is user-defined and is determined a priori.

  1. Choose \(K\) initial cluster centers \(m_{k}\) according to one of the following:

    • Randomization: Choose \(K\) clusters from the set of \(N\) observations at random so that each observation has an equal chance of being chosen.

    • Plus Plus

      a. Choose one center \(m_{1}\) at random.

      1. Calculate the difference between \(m_{1}\) and each of the remaining \(N-1\) observations \(x_{i}\). \(d(x_{i}, m_{1}) = ||(x_{i}-m_{1})||^2\)

      2. Let \(P(i)\) be the probability of choosing \(x_{i}\) as \(m_{2}\). Weight \(P(i)\) by \(d(x_{i}, m_{1})\) so that those \(x_{i}\) furthest from \(m_{2}\) have a higher probability of being selected than those \(x_{i}\) close to \(m_{1}\).

      3. Choose the next center \(m_{2}\) by drawing at random according to the weighted probability distribution.

      4. Repeat until \(K\) centers have been chosen.

    • Furthest

      a. Choose one center \(m_{1}\) at random.

      1. Calculate the difference between \(m_{1}\) and each of the remaining \(N-1\) observations \(x_{i}\). \(d(x_{i}, m_{1}) = ||(x_{i}-m_{1})||^2\)

      2. Choose \(m_{2}\) to be the \(x_{i}\) that maximizes \(d(x_{i}, m_{1})\).

      3. Repeat until \(K\) centers have been chosen.

  2. Once \(K\) initial centers have been chosen calculate the difference between each observation \(x_{i}\) and each of the centers \(m_{1},...,m_{K}\), where difference is the squared Euclidean distance taken over \(p\) parameters.

    \(d(x_{i}, m_{k})=\) \(\sum_{j=1}^{p}(x_{ij}-m_{k})^2=\) \(\lVert(x_{i}-m_{k})\rVert^2\)

  1. Assign \(x_{i}\) to the cluster \(k\) defined by \(m_{k}\) that minimizes \(d(x_{i}, m_{k})\)

  2. When all observations \(x_{i}\) are assigned to a cluster calculate the mean of the points in the cluster.

    \(\bar{x}(k)=\lbrace\bar{x_{i1}},…\bar{x_{ip}}\rbrace\)

  3. Set the \(\bar{x}(k)\) as the new cluster centers \(m_{k}\). Repeat steps 2 through 5 until the specified number of max iterations is reached or cluster assignments of the \(x_{i}\) are stable.

GLM

Introduction

Generalized Linear Models (GLM) estimate regression models for outcomes following exponential distributions. In addition to the Gaussian (i.e. normal) distribution, these include Poisson, binomial, and gamma distributions. Each serves a different purpose, and depending on distribution and link function choice, can be used either for prediction or classification.

The GLM suite includes:

Defining a GLM Model

Interpreting a GLM Model

By default, the following output displays:

FAQ

GLM Algorithm

Following the definitive text by P. McCullagh and J.A. Nelder (1989) on the generalization of linear models to non-linear distributions of the response variable Y, H2O fits GLM models based on the maximum likelihood estimation via iteratively reweighed least squares.

Let \(y_{1},…,y_{n}\) be n observations of the independent, random response variable \(Y_{i}\).

Assume that the observations are distributed according to a function from the exponential family and have a probability density function of the form:

\(f(y_{i})=exp[\frac{y_{i}\theta_{i} - b(\theta_{i})}{a_{i}(\phi)} + c(y_{i}; \phi)]\) where \(\theta\) and \(\phi\) are location and scale parameters, and \(\: a_{i}(\phi), \:b_{i}(\theta_{i}),\: c_{i}(y_{i}; \phi)\) are known functions.

\(a_{i}\) is of the form \(\:a_{i}=\frac{\phi}{p_{i}}; p_{i}\) is a known prior weight.

When \(Y\) has a pdf from the exponential family:

\(E(Y_{i})=\mu_{i}=b^{\prime}\) \(var(Y_{i})=\sigma_{i}^2=b^{\prime\prime}(\theta_{i})a_{i}(\phi)\)

Let \(g(\mu_{i})=\eta_{i}\) be a monotonic, differentiable transformation of the expected value of \(y_{i}\). The function \(\eta_{i}\) is the link function and follows a linear model.

\(g(\mu_{i})=\eta_{i}=\mathbf{x_{i}^{\prime}}\beta\)

When inverted: \(\mu=g^{-1}(\mathbf{x_{i}^{\prime}}\beta)\)

Maximum Likelihood Estimation

For an initial rough estimate of the parameters \(\hat{\beta}\), use the estimate to generate fitted values: \(\mu_{i}=g^{-1}(\hat{\eta_{i}})\)

Let \(z\) be a working dependent variable such that \(z_{i}=\hat{\eta_{i}}+(y_{i}-\hat{\mu_{i}})\frac{d\eta_{i}}{d\mu_{i}}\),

where \(\frac{d\eta_{i}}{d\mu_{i}}\) is the derivative of the link function evaluated at the trial estimate.

Calculate the iterative weights: \(w_{i}=\frac{p_{i}}{[b^{\prime\prime}(\theta_{i})\frac{d\eta_{i}}{d\mu_{i}}^{2}]}\)

Where \(b^{\prime\prime}\) is the second derivative of \(b(\theta_{i})\) evaluated at the trial estimate.

Assume \(a_{i}(\phi)\) is of the form \(\frac{\phi}{p_{i}}\). The weight \(w_{i}\) is inversely proportional to the variance of the working dependent variable \(z_{i}\) for current parameter estimates and proportionality factor \(\phi\).

Regress \(z_{i}\) on the predictors \(x_{i}\) using the weights \(w_{i}\) to obtain new estimates of \(\beta\). \(\hat{\beta}=(\mathbf{X}^{\prime}\mathbf{W}\mathbf{X})^{-1}\mathbf{X}^{\prime}\mathbf{W}\mathbf{z}\)

Where \(\mathbf{X}\) is the model matrix, \(\mathbf{W}\) is a diagonal matrix of \(w_{i}\), and \(\mathbf{z}\) is a vector of the working response variable \(z_{i}\).

This process is repeated until the estimates \(\hat{\beta}\) change by less than the specified amount.

Cost of computation

H2O can process large data sets because it relies on parallel processes. Large data sets are divided into smaller data sets and processed simultaneously and the results are communicated between computers as needed throughout the process.

In GLM, data are split by rows but not by columns, because the predicted Y values depend on information in each of the predictor variable vectors. If O is a complexity function, N is the number of observations (or rows), and P is the number of predictors (or columns) then

    \(Runtime\propto p^3+\frac{(N*p^2)}{CPUs}\)

Distribution reduces the time it takes an algorithm to process because it decreases N.

Relative to P, the larger that (N/CPUs) becomes, the more trivial p becomes to the overall computational cost. However, when p is greater than (N/CPUs), O is dominated by p.

    \(Complexity = O(p^3 + N*p^2)\)

DRF

Introduction

Distributed Random Forest (DRF) is a powerful classification tool. When given a set of data, DRF generates a forest of classification trees, rather than a single classification tree. Each of these trees is a weak learner built on a subset of rows and columns. More trees will reduce the variance. The classification from each H2O tree can be thought of as a vote; the most votes determines the classification.

The current version of DRF is fundamentally the same as in previous versions of H2O (same algorithmic steps, same histogramming techniques), with the exception of the following changes:

There was some code cleanup and refactoring to support the following features:

DRF no longer has a special-cased histogram for classification (class DBinomHistogram has been superseded by DRealHistogram), since it was not applicable to cases with observation weights or for cross-validation.

Naïve Bayes

Introduction

Naïve Bayes (NB) is a classification algorithm that relies on strong assumptions of the independence of covariates in applying Bayes Theorem. NB models are commonly used as an alternative to decision trees for classification problems.

Defining a Naïve Bayes Model

Interpreting a Naïve Bayes Model

The output from Naïve Bayes is a list of tables containing the a-priori and conditional probabilities of each class of the response. The a-priori probability is the estimated probability of a particular class before observing any of the predictors. Each conditional probability table corresponds to a predictor column. The row headers are the classes of the response and the column headers are the classes of the predictor. Thus, in the table below, the probability of survival (y) given a person is male (x) is 0.91543624.

                Sex
Survived       Male     Female
     No  0.91543624 0.08456376
     Yes 0.51617440 0.48382560

When the predictor is numeric, Naïve Bayes assumes it is sampled from a Gaussian distribution given the class of the response. The first column contains the mean and the second column contains the standard deviation of the distribution.

By default, the following output displays:

FAQ

Naïve Bayes Algorithm

The algorithm is presented for the simplified binomial case without loss of generality.

Under the Naive Bayes assumption of independence, given a training set for a set of discrete valued features X \({(X^{(i)},\ y^{(i)};\ i=1,...m)}\)

The joint likelihood of the data can be expressed as:

\(\mathcal{L} \: (\phi(y),\: \phi_{i|y=1},\:\phi_{i|y=0})=\Pi_{i=1}^{m} p(X^{(i)},\: y^{(i)})\)

The model can be parameterized by:

\(\phi_{i|y=0}=\ p(x_{i}=1|\ y=0);\: \phi_{i|y=1}=\ p(x_{i}=1|y=1);\: \phi(y)\)

Where \(\phi_{i|y=0}=\ p(x_{i}=1|\ y=0)\) can be thought of as the fraction of the observed instances where feature \(x_{i}\) is observed, and the outcome is \(y=0, \phi_{i|y=1}=p(x_{i}=1|\ y=1)\) is the fraction of the observed instances where feature \(x_{i}\) is observed, and the outcome is \(y=1\), and so on.

The objective of the algorithm is to maximize with respect to \(\phi_{i|y=0}, \ \phi_{i|y=1},\ and \ \phi(y)\)

Where the maximum likelihood estimates are:

\(\phi_{j|y=1}= \frac{\Sigma_{i}^m 1(x_{j}^{(i)}=1 \ \bigcap y^{i} = 1)}{\Sigma_{i=1}^{m}(y^{(i)}=1}\)

\(\phi_{j|y=0}= \frac{\Sigma_{i}^m 1(x_{j}^{(i)}=1 \ \bigcap y^{i} = 0)}{\Sigma_{i=1}^{m}(y^{(i)}=0}\)

\(\phi(y)= \frac{(y^{i} = 1)}{m}\)

Once all parameters \(\phi_{j|y}\) are fitted, the model can be used to predict new examples with features \(X_{(i^*)}\).

This is carried out by calculating:

\(p(y=1|x)=\frac{\Pi p(x_i|y=1) p(y=1)}{\Pi p(x_i|y=1)p(y=1) \: +\: \Pi p(x_i|y=0)p(y=0)}\)

\(p(y=0|x)=\frac{\Pi p(x_i|y=0) p(y=0)}{\Pi p(x_i|y=1)p(y=1) \: +\: \Pi p(x_i|y=0)p(y=0)}\)

and predicting the class with the highest probability.

It is possible that prediction sets contain features not originally seen in the training set. If this occurs, the maximum likelihood estimates for these features predict a probability of 0 for all cases of y.

Laplace smoothing allows a model to predict on out of training data features by adjusting the maximum likelihood estimates to be:

\(\phi_{j|y=1}= \frac{\Sigma_{i}^m 1(x_{j}^{(i)}=1 \ \bigcap y^{i} = 1) \: + \: 1}{\Sigma_{i=1}^{m}(y^{(i)}=1 \: + \: 2}\)

\(\phi_{j|y=0}= \frac{\Sigma_{i}^m 1(x_{j}^{(i)}=1 \ \bigcap y^{i} = 0) \: + \: 1}{\Sigma_{i=1}^{m}(y^{(i)}=0 \: + \: 2}\)

Note that in the general case where y takes on k values, there are k+1 modified parameter estimates, and they are added in when the denominator is k (rather than two, as shown in the two-level classifier shown here.)

Laplace smoothing should be used with care; it is generally intended to allow for predictions in rare events. As prediction data becomes increasingly distinct from training data, train new models when possible to account for a broader set of possible X values.

PCA

Introduction

Principal Components Analysis (PCA) is closely related to Principal Components Regression. The algorithm is carried out on a set of possibly collinear features and performs a transformation to produce a new set of uncorrelated features.

PCA is commonly used to model without regularization or perform dimensionality reduction. It can also be useful to carry out as a preprocessing step before distance-based algorithms such as K-Means since PCA guarantees that all dimensions of a manifold are orthogonal.

Defining a PCA Model

Interpreting a PCA Model

PCA output returns a table displaying the number of components specified by the value for k.

Scree and cumulative variance plots for the components are returned as well. Users can access them by clicking on the black button labeled “Scree and Variance Plots” at the top left of the results page. A scree plot shows the variance of each component, while the cumulative variance plot shows the total variance accounted for by the set of components.

The output for PCA includes the following:

FAQ

For the GramSVD and Power methods, all rows containing missing values are ignored during training. For the GLRM method, missing values are excluded from the sum over the loss function in the objective. For more information, refer to section 4 Generalized Loss Functions, equation (13), in “Generalized Low Rank Models” by Boyd et al.

PCA Algorithm

Let \(X\) be an \(M\times N\) matrix where

The covariance matrix \(C_{x}\) is

\(C_{x}=\frac{1}{n}XX^{T}\)

where \(n\) is the number of observations.

\(C_{x}\) is a square, symmetric \(m\times m\) matrix, the diagonal entries of which are the variances of attributes, and the off-diagonal entries are covariances between attributes.

PCA convergence is based on the method described by Gockenbach: “The rate of convergence of the power method depends on the ratio \(lambda_2|/|\lambda_1\). If this is small…then the power method converges rapidly. If the ratio is close to 1, then convergence is quite slow. The power method will fail if \(lambda_2| = |\lambda_1\).” (567).

The objective of PCA is to maximize variance while minimizing covariance.

To accomplish this, for a new matrix \(C_{y}\) with off diagonal entries of 0, and each successive dimension of Y ranked according to variance, PCA finds an orthonormal matrix \(P\) such that \(Y=PX\) constrained by the requirement that \(C_{y}=\frac{1}{n}YY^{T}\) be a diagonal matrix.

The rows of \(P\) are the principal components of X.

\(C_{y}=\frac{1}{n}YY^{T}\) \(=\frac{1}{n}(PX)(PX)^{T}\) \(C_{y}=PC_{x}P^{T}.\)

Because any symmetric matrix is diagonalized by an orthogonal matrix of its eigenvectors, solve matrix \(P\) to be a matrix where each row is an eigenvector of \(\frac{1}{n}XX^{T}=C_{x}\)

Then the principal components of \(X\) are the eigenvectors of \(C_{x}\), and the \(i^{th}\) diagonal value of \(C_{y}\) is the variance of \(X\) along \(p_{i}\).

Eigenvectors of \(C_{x}\) are found by first finding the eigenvalues \(\lambda\) of \(C_{x}\).

For each eigenvalue \(\lambda\) \((C-{x}-\lambda I)x =0\) where \(x\) is the eigenvector associated with \(\lambda\).

Solve for \(x\) by Gaussian elimination.

Recovering SVD from GLRM

GLRM gives \(x\) and \(y\), where \(x \in \rm \Bbb I \!\Bbb R ^{n * k}\) and \( y \in \rm \Bbb I \!\Bbb R ^{k*m} \)

   - \(n\)= number of rows (A)

   - \(m\)= number of columns (A)

   - \(k\)= user-specified rank    - \(A\)= training matrix

It is assumed that the \(x\) and \(y\) columns are independent.

First, perform QR decomposition of \(x\) and \(y^T\):

   \(x = QR\)

    \(y^T = ZS\), where \(Q^TQ = I = Z^TZ\)

      Call JAMA QR Decomposition directly on \(y^T\) to get \( Z \in \rm \Bbb I \! \Bbb R\), \( S \in \Bbb I \! \Bbb R \)

      \( R \) from QR decomposition of \( x \) is the upper triangular factor of Cholesky of \(X^TX\) Gram

      \( X^TX = LL^T, X = QR \)

      \( X^TX= (R^TQ^T) QR = R^TR \), since \(Q^TQ=I \) => \(R=L^T\) (transpose lower triangular)

Note: In code, \(X^TX \over n\) = \( LL^T \)

   \( X^TX = (L \sqrt{n})(L \sqrt{n})^T =R^TR \)

   \( R = L^T \sqrt{n} \in \rm \Bbb I \! \Bbb R^{k * k} \) reduced QR decomposition.

For more information, refer to the Rectangular matrix section of “QR Decomposition” on Wikipedia.

\( XY = QR(ZS)^T = Q(RS^T)Z^T \)

Note: \( (RS^T) \in \rm \Bbb I \!\Bbb R \)

Find SVD (locally) of \( RS^T \)

\( RS^T = U \sum V^T, U^TU = I = V^TV \) orthogonal

\( XY = Q(RS^T)Z^T = (QU \sum (V^T Z^T) SVD \)

   \( (QU)^T(QU) = U^T Q^TQU U^TU = I\)

   \( (ZV)^T(ZV) = V^TZ^TZV = V^TV =I \)

Right singular vectors: \( ZV \in \rm \Bbb I \!\Bbb R^{m * k} \)

Singular values: \( \sum \in \rm \Bbb I \!\Bbb R^{k * k} \) diagonal

Left singular vectors: \( (QU) \in \rm \Bbb I \!\Bbb R^{n * k}\)

GBM

Introduction

Gradient Boosted Regression and Gradient Boosted Classification are forward learning ensemble methods. The guiding heuristic is that good predictive results can be obtained through increasingly refined approximations. H2O’s GBM sequentially builds regression trees on all the features of the dataset in a fully distributed way - each tree is built in parallel.

The current version of GBM is fundamentally the same as in previous versions of H2O (same algorithmic steps, same histogramming techniques), with the exception of the following changes:

There was some code cleanup and refactoring to support the following features:

Defining a GBM Model

Interpreting a GBM Model

The output for GBM includes the following:

FAQ

This is a known behavior of GBM that is similar to its behavior in R. If, for example, it takes 50 trees to learn all there is to learn from a frame without the random features, when you add a random predictor and train 1000 trees, the first 50 trees will be approximately the same. The final 950 trees are used to make sense of the random number, which will take a long time since there’s no structure. The variable importance will reflect the fact that all the splits from the first 950 trees are devoted to the random feature.

GBM Algorithm

H2O’s Gradient Boosting Algorithms follow the algorithm specified by Hastie et al (2001):

Initialize \(f_{k0} = 0,\: k=1,2,…,K\)

For \(m=1\) to \(M:\)

  (a) Set \(p_{k}(x)=\frac{e^{f_{k}(x)}}{\sum_{l=1}^{K}e^{f_{l}(x)}},\:k=1,2,…,K\)

  (b) For \(k=1\) to \(K\):

    i. Compute \(r_{ikm}=y_{ik}-p_{k}(x_{i}),\:i=1,2,…,N.\)     ii. Fit a regression tree to the targets \(r_{ikm},\:i=1,2,…,N\), giving terminal regions \(R_{jim},\:j=1,2,…,J_{m}.\) \(iii. Compute\) \(\gamma_{jkm}=\frac{K-1}{K}\:\frac{\sum_{x_{i}\in R_{jkm}}(r_{ikm})}{\sum_{x_{i}\in R_{jkm}}|r_{ikm}|(1-|r_{ikm})},\:j=1,2,…,J_{m}.\) \(\:iv.\:Update\:f_{km}(x)=f_{k,m-1}(x)+\sum_{j=1}^{J_{m}}\gamma_{jkm}I(x\in\:R_{jkm}).\)

Output \(\:\hat{f_{k}}(x)=f_{kM}(x),\:k=1,2,…,K.\)

Be aware that the column type affects how the histogram is created and the column type depends on whether rows are excluded or assigned a weight of 0. For example:

val weight 1 1 0.5 0 5 1 3.5 0

The above vec has a real-valued type if passed as a whole, but if the zero-weighted rows are sliced away first, the integer weight is used. The resulting histogram is either kept at full nbins resolution or potentially shrunk to the discrete integer range, which affects the split points.

Deep Learning

Introduction

H2O’s Deep Learning is based on a multi-layer feed-forward artificial neural network that is trained with stochastic gradient descent using back-propagation. The network can contain a large number of hidden layers consisting of neurons with tanh, rectifier and maxout activation functions. Advanced features such as adaptive learning rate, rate annealing, momentum training, dropout, L1 or L2 regularization, checkpointing and grid search enable high predictive accuracy. Each compute node trains a copy of the global model parameters on its local data with multi-threading (asynchronously), and contributes periodically to the global model via model averaging across the network.

Defining a Deep Learning Model

H2O Deep Learning models have many input parameters, many of which are only accessible via the expert mode. For most cases, use the default values. Please read the following instructions before building extensive Deep Learning models. The application of grid search and successive continuation of winning models via checkpoint restart is highly recommended, as model performance can vary greatly.

YARN Best Practices

YARN (Yet Another Resource Manager) is a resource management framework. H2O can be launched as an application on YARN. If you want to run H2O on Hadoop, essentially, you are running H2O on YARN. If you are not currently using YARN to manage your cluster resources, we strongly recommend it.

Using H2O with YARN

When you launch H2O on Hadoop using the hadoop jar command, YARN allocates the necessary resources to launch the requested number of nodes. H2O launches as a MapReduce (V2) task, where each mapper is an H2O node of the specified size.

hadoop jar h2odriver.jar -nodes 1 -mapperXmx 6g -output hdfsOutputDirName

Occasionally, YARN may reject a job request. This usually occurs because either there is not enough memory to launch the job or because of an incorrect configuration.

If YARN rejects the job request, try launching the job with less memory to see if that is the cause of the failure. Specify smaller values for -mapperXmx (we recommend a minimum of 2g) and -nodes (start with 1) to confirm that H2O can launch successfully.

To resolve configuration issues, adjust the maximum memory that YARN will allow when launching each mapper. If the cluster manager settings are configured for the default maximum memory size but the memory required for the request exceeds that amount, YARN will not launch and H2O will time out. If you are using the default configuration, change the configuration settings in your cluster manager to specify memory allocation when launching mapper tasks. To calculate the amount of memory required for a successful launch, use the following formula:

YARN container size (mapreduce.map.memory.mb) = -mapperXmx value + (-mapperXmx * -extramempercent [default is 10%])

The mapreduce.map.memory.mb value must be less than the YARN memory configuration values for the launch to succeed.

Configuring YARN

For Cloudera, configure the settings in Cloudera Manager. Depending on how the cluster is configured, you may need to change the settings for more than one role group.

  1. Click Configuration and enter the following search term in quotes: yarn.nodemanager.resource.memory-mb.

  2. Enter the amount of memory (in GB) to allocate in the Value field. If more than one group is listed, change the values for all listed groups.

    Cloudera Configuration

  3. Click the Save Changes button in the upper-right corner.

  4. Enter the following search term in quotes: yarn.scheduler.maximum-allocation-mb

  5. Change the value, click the Save Changes button in the upper-right corner, and redeploy.

    Cloudera Configuration

For Hortonworks, configure the settings in Ambari.

  1. Select YARN, then click the Configs tab.
  2. Select the group.

  3. In the Node Manager section, enter the amount of memory (in MB) to allocate in the yarn.nodemanager.resource.memory-mb entry field.

    Ambari Configuration

  4. In the Scheduler section, enter the amount of memory (in MB)to allocate in the yarn.scheduler.maximum-allocation-mb entry field.

    Ambari Configuration

  5. Click the Save button at the bottom of the page and redeploy the cluster.

For MapR:

  1. Edit the yarn-site.xml file for the node running the ResourceManager.
  2. Change the values for the yarn.nodemanager.resource.memory-mb and yarn.scheduler.maximum-allocation-mb properties.
  3. Restart the ResourceManager and redeploy the cluster.

To verify the values were changed, check the values for the following properties:

 - <name>yarn.nodemanager.resource.memory-mb</name>
 - <name>yarn.scheduler.maximum-allocation-mb</name>

Limiting CPU Usage

To limit the number of CPUs used by H2O, use the -nthreads option and specify the maximum number of CPUs for a single container to use. The following example limits the number of CPUs to four:

hadoop jar h2odriver.jar -nthreads 4 -nodes 1 -mapperXmx 6g -output hdfsOutputDirName

Note: The default is 4*the number of CPUs. You must specify at least four CPUs; otherwise, the following error message displays: ERROR: nthreads invalid (must be >= 4)

Specifying Queues

If you do not specify a queue when launching H2O, H2O jobs are submitted to the default queue. Jobs submitted to the default queue have a lower priority than jobs submitted to a specific queue.

To specify a queue with Hadoop, enter -Dmapreduce.job.queuename=<queue name>

(where <queue name> is the name of the queue) when launching Hadoop.

For example,

hadoop jar h2odriver.jar -Dmapreduce.job.queuename=default -nodes 1 -mapperXmx 6g -output hdfsOutputDirName

Specifying Output Directories

To prevent overwriting multiple users’ files, each job must have a unique output directory name. Change the -output hdfsOutputDir argument (where hdfsOutputDir is the name of the directory.

Alternatively, you can delete the directory (manually or by using a script) instead of creating a unique directory each time you launch H2O.

Customizing YARN

Most of the configurable YARN variables are stored in yarn-site.xml. To prevent settings from being overridden, you can mark a config as “final.” If you change any values in yarn-site.xml, you must restart YARN to confirm the changes.

Accessing Logs

To learn how to access logs in YARN, refer to Downloading Logs.

Downloading Logs

Accessing Logs

Depending on whether you are using Hadoop with H2O and whether the job is currently running, there are different ways of obtaining the logs for H2O.

Copy and email the logs to support@h2o.ai or submit them to h2ostream@googlegroups.com with a brief description of your Hadoop environment, including the Hadoop distribution and version.

Migrating to H2O 3.0

We’re excited about the upcoming release of the latest and greatest version of H2O, and we hope you are too! H2O 3.0 has lots of improvements, including:

and much more! Overall, H2O has been retooled for better accuracy and performance and to provide additional functionality. If you’re a current user of H2O, we strongly encourage you to upgrade to the latest version to take advantage of the latest features and capabilities.

Please be aware that H2O 3.0 will supersede all previous versions of H2O as the primary version as of May 15th, 2015. Support for previous versions will be offered for a limited time, but there will no longer be any significant updates to the previous version of H2O.

The following information and links will inform you about what’s new and different and help you prepare to upgrade to H2O 3.0.

Overall, H2O 3.0 is more stable, elegant, and simplified, with additional capabilities not available in previous versions of H2O.

Algorithm Changes

Most of the algorithms available in previous versions of H2O have been improved in terms of speed and accuracy. Currently available model types include Gradient Boosting Machine, Deep Learning, Generalized Linear Model, K-means, Distributed Random Forest, and Naïve Bayes.

There are a few algorithms that are still being refined to provide these same benefits and will be available in a future version of H2O.

Currently, the following algorithms and associated capabilities are still in development:

Check back for updates, as these algorithms will be re-introduced in an improved form in a future version of H2O.

Note: The SpeeDRF model has been removed, as it was originally intended as an optimization for small data only. This optimization will be added to the Distributed Random Forest model automatically for small data in a future version of H2O.

Parsing Changes

In H2O Classic, the parser reads all the data and tries to guess the column type. In H2O 3.0, the parser reads a subset and makes a type guess for each column. In Flow, you can view the preliminary parse results in the Data Preview area. To change the column type, select an option from the drop-down menu at the top of the column. H2O 3.0 can also automatically identify mixed-type columns; in H2O Classic, if one column is mixed integers or real numbers using a string, the output is blank.

Web UI Changes

Our web UI has been completely overhauled with a much more intuitive interface that is similar to IPython Notebook. Each point-and-click action is translated immediately into an individual workflow script that can be saved for later interactive and offline use. As a result, you can now revise and rerun your workflows easily, and can even add comments and rich media.

For more information, refer to our Getting Started with Flow guide, which comprehensively documents how to use Flow. You can also view this brief video, which provides an overview of Flow in action.

API Users

H2O’s new Python API allows Pythonistas to use H2O in their favorite environment. Using the Python command line or an integrated development environment like IPython Notebook H2O users can control clusters and manage massive datasets quickly.

H2O’s REST API is the basis for the web UI (Flow), as well as the R and Python APIs, and is versioned for stability. It is also easier to understand and use, with full metadata available dynamically from the server, allowing for easier integration by developers.

Java Users

Generated Java REST classes ease REST API use by external programs running in a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

As in previous versions of H2O, users can export trained models as Java objects for easy integration into JVM applications. H2O is currently the only ML tool that provides this capability, making it the data science tool of choice for enterprise developers.

R Users

If you use H2O primarily in R, be aware that as a result of the improvements to the R package for H2O scripts created using previous versions (Nunes 2.8.6.2 or prior) will require minor revisions to work with H2O 3.0.

To assist our R users in upgrading to H2O 3.0 a “shim” tool has been developed. The shim reviews your script, identifies deprecated or revised parameters and arguments, and suggests replacements.

There is also an R Porting Guide that provides a side-by-side comparison of the algorithms in the previous version of H2O with H2O 3.0. It outlines the new, revised, and deprecated parameters for each algorithm, as well as the changes to the output.

Porting R Scripts

This document outlines how to port R scripts written in previous versions of H2O (Nunes 2.8.6.2 or prior, also known as “H2O Classic”) for compatibility with the new H2O 3.0 API. When upgrading from H2O to H2O 3.0, most functions are the same. However, there are some differences that will need to be resolved when porting any scripts that were originally created using H2O to H2O 3.0.

The original R script for H2O is listed first, followed by the updated script for H2O 3.0.

Some of the parameters have been renamed for consistency. For each algorithm, a table that describes the differences is provided.

For additional assistance within R, enter a question mark before the command (for example, ?h2o.glm).

There is also a “shim” available that will review R scripts created with previous versions of H2O, identify deprecated or renamed parameters, and suggest replacements. For more information, refer to the repo here.

Changes from H2O 2.8 to H2O 3.0

h2o.exec

The h2o.exec command is no longer supported. Any workflows using h2o.exec must be revised to remove this command. If the H2O 3.0 workflow contains any parameters or commands from H2O Classic, errors will result and the workflow will fail.

The purpose of h2o.exec was to wrap expressions so that they could be evaluated in a single \Exec2 call. For example, h2o.exec(fr[,1] + 2/fr[,3]) and fr[,1] + 2/fr[,3] produced the same results in H2O. However, the first example makes a single REST call and uses a single temp object, while the second makes several REST calls and uses several temp objects.

Due to the improved architecture in H2O 3.0, the need to use h2o.exec has been eliminated, as the expression can be processed by R as an “unwrapped” typical R expression.

Currently, the only known exception is when factor is used in conjunction with h2o.exec. For example, h2o.exec(fr$myIntCol <- factor(fr$myIntCol)) would become fr$myIntCol <- as.factor(fr$myIntCol)

Note also that an array is not inside a string:

An int array is [1, 2, 3], not “[1, 2, 3]”.

A String array is [“f00”, “b4r”], not “[\”f00\”, \”b4r\”]”

Only string values are enclosed in double quotation marks (").

h2o.performance

To access any exclusively binomial output, use h2o.performance, optionally with the corresponding accessor. The accessor can only use the model metrics object created by h2o.performance. Each accessor is named for its corresponding field (for example, h2o.AUC, h2o.gini, h2o.F1). h2o.performance supports all current algorithms except for K-Means.

If you specify a data frame as a second parameter, H2O will use the specified data frame for scoring. If you do not specify a second parameter, the training metrics for the model metrics object are used.

xval and validation slots

The xval slot has been removed, as nfolds is not currently supported.

The validation slot has been merged with the model slot.

Principal Components Regression (PCR)

Principal Components Regression (PCR) has also been deprecated. To obtain PCR values, create a Principal Components Analysis (PCA) model, then create a GLM model from the scored data from the PCA model.

Saving and Loading Models

Saving and loading a model from R is supported in version 3.0.0.18 and later. H2O 3.0 uses the same binary serialization method as previous versions of H2O, but saves the model and its dependencies into a directory, with each object as a separate file. The save_CV option for available in previous versions of H2O has been deprecated, as h2o.saveAll and h2o.loadAll are not currently supported. The following commands are now supported:

Distributed Random Forest

Changes to DRF in H2O 3.0

Distributed Random Forest (DRF) was represented as h2o.randomForest(type="BigData", ...) in H2O Classic. In H2O Classic, SpeeDRF (type="fast") was not as accurate, especially for complex data with categoricals, and did not address regression problems. DRF (type="BigData") was at least as accurate as SpeeDRF (type="fast") and was the only algorithm that scaled to big data (data too large to fit on a single node). In H2O 3.0, our plan is to improve the performance of DRF so that the data fits on a single node (optimally, for all cases), which will make SpeeDRF obsolete. Ultimately, the goal is provide a single algorithm that provides the “best of both worlds” for all datasets and use cases. Please note that H2O does not currently support the ability to specify the number of trees when using h2o.predict for a DRF model.

Note: H2O 3.0 only supports DRF. SpeeDRF is no longer supported. The functionality of DRF in H2O 3.0 is similar to DRF functionality in H2O.

Github Users

All users who pull directly from the H2O classic repo on Github should be aware that this repo will be renamed. To retain access to the original H2O (2.8.6.2 and prior) repository:

The simple way

This is the easiest way to change your local repo and is recommended for most users.

  1. Enter git remote -v to view a list of your repositories.

  2. Copy the address your H2O classic repo (refer to the text in brackets below - your address will vary depending on your connection method):

    H2O_User-MBP:h2o H2O_User$ git remote -v
origin    https://{H2O_User@github.com}/h2oai/h2o.git (fetch)
origin    https://{H2O_User@github.com}/h2oai/h2o.git (push)
  3. Enter git remote set-url origin {H2O_User@github.com}:h2oai/h2o-2.git, where {H2O_User@github.com} represents the address copied in the previous step.

The more complicated way

This method involves editing the Github config file and should only be attempted by users who are confident enough with their knowledge of Github to do so.

  1. Enter vim .git/config.

  2. Look for the [remote "origin"] section:

    [remote "origin"]
     url = https://H2O_User@github.com/h2oai/h2o.git
     fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
  3. In the url = line, change h2o.git to h2o-2.git.
  4. Save the changes.

The latest version of H2O is stored in the h2o-3 repository. All previous links to this repo will still work, but if you would like to manually update your Github configuration, follow the instructions above, replacing h2o-2 with h2o-3.

POJO Quick Start

This document describes how to build and implement a POJO to use predictive scoring. Java developers should refer to the Javadoc for more information, including packages.

What is a POJO?

H2O allows you to convert the models you have built to a Plain Old Java Object (POJO), which can then be easily deployed within your Java app and scheduled to run on a specified dataset.

POJOs allow users to build a model using H2O and then deploy the model to score in real-time, using the POJO model or a REST API call to a scoring server.

  1. Start H2O in terminal window #1:

    $ java -jar h2o.jar

  2. Build a model using your web browser:

    1. Go to http://localhost:54321
    2. Click view example Flows near the right edge of the screen. Here is a screenshot of what to look for:
    3. Click GBM_Airlines_Classification.flow
    4. If a confirmation prompt appears asking you to “Load Notebook”, click it
    5. From the “Flow” menu choose the “Run all cells” option
    6. Scroll down and find the “Model” cell in the notebook. Click on the Download POJO button as shown in the following screenshot:

    Note: The instructions below assume that the POJO model was downloaded to the “Downloads” folder.

  3. Download model pieces in a new terminal window - H2O must still be running in terminal window #1:

     $ mkdir experiment
 $ cd experiment
 $ mv ~/Downloads/gbm_pojo_test.java .
 $ curl http://localhost:54321/3/h2o-genmodel.jar > h2o-genmodel.jar

  4. Create your main program in terminal window #2 by creating a new file called main.java (vim main.java) with the following contents:

     import java.io.*;
 import hex.genmodel.easy.RowData;
 import hex.genmodel.easy.EasyPredictModelWrapper;
 import hex.genmodel.easy.prediction.*;

 public class main {
   private static String modelClassName = "gbm_pojo_test";

   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
     hex.genmodel.GenModel rawModel;
     rawModel = (hex.genmodel.GenModel) Class.forName(modelClassName).newInstance();
     EasyPredictModelWrapper model = new EasyPredictModelWrapper(rawModel);

     RowData row = new RowData();
     row.put("Year", "1987");
     row.put("Month", "10");
     row.put("DayofMonth", "14");
     row.put("DayOfWeek", "3");
     row.put("CRSDepTime", "730");
     row.put("UniqueCarrier", "PS");
     row.put("Origin", "SAN");
     row.put("Dest", "SFO");

     BinomialModelPrediction p = model.predictBinomial(row);
     System.out.println("Label (aka prediction) is flight departure delayed: " + p.label);
     System.out.print("Class probabilities: ");
     for (int i = 0; i < p.classProbabilities.length; i++) {
       if (i > 0) {
         System.out.print(",");
       }
       System.out.print(p.classProbabilities[i]);
     }
     System.out.println("");
   }
 }

  5. Compile and run in terminal window 2:

     $ javac -cp h2o-genmodel.jar -J-Xmx2g -J-XX:MaxPermSize=128m gbm_pojo_test.java main.java
 $ java -cp .:h2o-genmodel.jar main

    The following output displays: 

     Label (aka prediction) is flight departure delayed: YES
 Class probabilities: 0.4790490513429604,0.5209509486570396

Grid Search API

The current implementation of the grid search REST API exposes the following endpoints:

Endpoints accept model-specific parameters (e.g., GBMParametersV3) and an additional parameter called hyper_parameters, which contains a JSON listing of the hyper parameters (e.g., {"ntrees":[1,5],"learn_rate":[0.1,0.01]}).

Each parameter exposed by the schema can specify if it is supported by grid search by specifying the attribute gridable=true in the schema @API annotation. In any case, the Java API does not restrict the parameters supported by grid search.

Example

Invoke a new GBM model grid search by passing the following request to H2O: 

Method: POST  , URI: /99/Grid/gbm, route: /99/Grid/gbm, parms:{hyper_parameters={"ntrees":[1,5],"learn_rate":[0.1,0.01]}, training_frame=filefd41fe7ac0b_csv_1.hex_2, grid_id=gbm_grid_search, response_column=Species, ignored_columns=[""]}

Grid Search in R

Grid search in R provides the following capabilities:

Example

ntrees_opts = c(1, 5)
learn_rate_opts = c(0.1, 0.01)
hyper_parameters = list(ntrees = ntrees_opts, learn_rate = learn_rate_opts)
grid <- h2o.grid("gbm", grid_id="gbm_grid_test", x=1:4, y=5, training_frame=iris.hex, hyper_params = hyper_parameters)
grid_models <- lapply(grid@model_ids, function(mid) {
    model = h2o.getModel(mid)
  })

Grid Search Java API

There are two core entities: Grid and GridSearch. GridSeach is a job-building Grid object and is defined by the user’s model factory and the hyperspace walk strategy. The model factory must be defined for each supported model type (DRF, GBM, DL, and K-means). The hyperspace walk strategy specifies how the user-defined space of hyper parameters is traversed. The space definition is not limited. For each point in hyperspace, model parameters of the specified type are produced.

Currently, the implementation supports a simple cartesian grid search, but additional space traversal strategies are currently in development. This triggers a new model builder job for each hyperspace point returned by the walk strategy. If the model builder job fails, it is ignored; however, it can still be tracked in the job list. Model builder jobs are run serially in sequential order. More advanced job scheduling schemes are under development.

The grid object contains the results of the grid search: a list of model keys produced by the grid search. The grid object publishes a simple API to get the models.

Launch the grid search by specifying:

The Java API can grid search any parameters defined in the model parameter’s class (e.g., GBMParameters). Paramters that are appropriate for gridding are marked by the @API parameter, but this is not enforced by the framework.

Additional parameters are available in the model builder to support creation of model parameters and configuration. This eliminates the requirement of the previous implementation where each gridable value was represented as a double. This also allows users to specify different building strategies for model parameters. For example, a REST layer uses a builder that validates parameters against the model parameter’s schema, where the Java API uses a simple reflective builder. Additional reflections support is provided by PojoUtils (methods setField, getFieldValue).

Example

HashMap<String, Object[]> hyperParms = new HashMap<>();
hyperParms.put("_ntrees", new Integer[]{1, 2});
hyperParms.put("_distribution", new Distribution.Family[]{Distribution.Family.multinomial});
hyperParms.put("_max_depth", new Integer[]{1, 2, 5});
hyperParms.put("_learn_rate", new Float[]{0.01f, 0.1f, 0.3f});

// Setup common model parameters
GBMModel.GBMParameters params = new GBMModel.GBMParameters();
params._train = fr._key;
params._response_column = "cylinders";
// Trigger new grid search job, block for results and get the resulting grid object
GridSearch gs = GridSearch.startGridSearch(params, hyperParms, GBM_MODEL_FACTORY);
Grid grid = (Grid) gs.get();

Exposing grid search end-point for new algorithm

In the following example, the PCA algorithm has been implemented and we would like to expose the algorithm via REST API. The following aspects are assumed:

To add support for PCA grid search:

  1. Add the PCA model build factory into the hex.grid.ModelFactories class:

       class ModelFactories {
     /* ... */
     public static ModelFactory<PCAModel.PCAParameters>
       PCA_MODEL_FACTORY =
       new ModelFactory<PCAModel.PCAParameters>() {
         @Override
         public String getModelName() {
           return "PCA";
         }

         @Override
         public ModelBuilder buildModel(PCAModel.PCAParameters params) {
           return new PCA(params);
         }
       };
   }

  2. Add the PCA REST end-point schema:

       public class PCAGridSearchV99 extends GridSearchSchema<PCAGridSearchHandler.PCAGrid,
     PCAGridSearchV99,
     PCAModel.PCAParameters,
     PCAV3.PCAParametersV3> {

   }

  3. Add the PCA REST end-point handler:

       public class PCAGridSearchHandler
     extends GridSearchHandler<PCAGridSearchHandler.PCAGrid,
     PCAGridSearchV99,
     PCAModel.PCAParameters,
     PCAV3.PCAParametersV3> {

     public PCAGridSearchV99 train(int version, PCAGridSearchV99 gridSearchSchema) {
       return super.do_train(version, gridSearchSchema);
     }

     @Override
     protected ModelFactory<PCAModel.PCAParameters> getModelFactory() {
       return ModelFactories.PCA_MODEL_FACTORY;
     }

     @Deprecated
     public static class PCAGrid extends Grid<PCAModel.PCAParameters> {

       public PCAGrid() {
         super(null, null, null, null);
       }
     }
   }

  4. Register the REST end-point in the register factory hex.api.Register:

       public class Register extends AbstractRegister {
       @Override
       public void register() {
           // ...
           H2O.registerPOST("/99/Grid/pca", PCAGridSearchHandler.class, "train", "Run grid search for PCA model.");
           // ...
        }
   }

Security

H2O Enterprise Edition contains security features intended for deployment inside a secure data center.

Please see the H2O Enterprise Edition web page for more information about the enterprise version of H2O.

Security model

Below is a discussion of what the security assumptions are, and what the H2O software does and does not do.

Terms

Term Definition
H2O cluster A collection of H2O nodes that work together. In the H2O Flow Web UI, the cluster status menu item shows the list of nodes in an H2O cluster.
H2O node One JVM instance running the H2O main class. One H2O node corresponds to one OS-level process. In the YARN case, one H2O node corresponds to one mapper instance and one YARN container.
H2O embedded web port Each H2O node contains an embedded web port (by default port 54321). This web port hosts H2O Flow as well as the H2O REST API. The user interacts directly with this web port.
H2O internal communication port Each H2O node also has an internal port (web port+1, so by default port 54322) for internal node-to-node communication. This is a proprietary binary protocol. An attacker using a tool like tcpdump or wireshark may be able to reverse engineer data captured on this communication path.

Assumptions (threat model)

  1. H2O lives in a secure data center.

  2. Denial of service is not a concern.

    • H2O is not designed to withstand a DOS attack.

  3. HTTP traffic between the user client and H2O cluster needs to be encrypted.

    • This is true for both interactive sessions (e.g the H2O Flow Web UI) and programmatic sessions (e.g. an R program).

  4. Man-in-the-middle attacks are of low concern.

    • Certificate checking on the client side for R/python is not yet implemented.

  5. Internal binary H2O node-to-H2O node traffic does not need to be secured.

    • The customer is responsible for the H2O cluster’s perimeter security if this is a concern.
    • An example would be putting the nodes for an H2O cluster in a VLAN and opening up one port so user clients can reach the H2O cluster on the embedded web port.

  6. You trust the person that starts H2O to start it correctly.

    • Enabling H2O security requires specifying the correct security options.

  7. User client sessions do not need to expire. A session lives at most as long as the cluster lifetime. H2O clusters are started and stopped “frequently enough”.

    • All data is stored in-memory, so restarting the H2O cluster wipes all data from memory, and there is nothing to clean from disk.

  8. Once a user is authenticated for access to H2O, they have full access.

    • H2O supports authentication but not authorization or access control (ACLs).

  9. H2O clusters are meant to be accessed by only one user.

    • Each user starts their own H2O cluster.
    • H2O only allows access to the embedded web port to the person that started the cluster.

Data chain-of-custody in a Hadoop data center environment

Notes:

Through this sequence, it is shown that a user is only able to access the same data from H2O that they could already access from normal Hadoop jobs.

  1. Data lives in HDFS
  2. The files in HDFS have permissions
  3. An HDFS user has permissions (capabilities) to access certain files
  4. Kerberos (kinit) can be used to authenticate a user in a Hadoop environment
  5. A user’s Hadoop MapReduce job inherits the permissions (capabilities) of the user, as well as kinit metadata
  6. H2O is a Hadoop MapReduce job
  7. H2O can only access the files in HDFS that the user has permission to access
  8. (Enterprise only) Only the user that started the cluster is authenticated for access to the H2O cluster
  9. (Enterprise only) The authenticated user can access the same data in H2O that he could access via HDFS

What is being secured today

  1. Standard file permissions security is provided by the Operating System and by HDFS.

  2. The embedded web port in each node of H2O can be secured in two ways:

Method Description
HTTPS Encrypted socket communication between the user client and the embedded H2O web port.
Authentication An HTTP Basic Auth username and password from the user client.

Note: Embedded web port HTTPS and authentication may be used separately or together.

What is specifically not being secured today

File security in H2O

H2O is a normal user program. Nothing specifically needs to be done by the user to get file security for H2O. Operating System and HDFS permissions “just work”. File security is provided by both H2O Open Source and Enterprise Editions.

Standalone H2O

Since H2O is a regular Java program, the files H2O can access are restricted by the user’s Operating System permissions (capabilities).

H2O on Hadoop

Since H2O is a regular Hadoop MapReduce program, the files H2O can access are restricted by the standard HDFS permissions of the user that starts H2O.

Since H2O is a regular Hadoop MapReduce program, Kerberos (kinit) works seamlessly. (No code was added to H2O to support Kerberos.)

Sparkling Water on YARN

Similar to H2O on Hadoop, this configuration is H2O on Spark on YARN. The YARN job inherits the HDFS permissions of the user.

Embedded web port (by default port 54321) security

For the client side, connection options have been added. These are present in both the Open Source and Enterprise versions of H2O (to make it easy to upgrade to the Enterprise version with purely a server-side upgrade).

For the server side, startup options have been added to the H2O Enterprise Edition to facilitate security. These are detailed below.

HTTPS

HTTPS client side

Flow Web UI client

When HTTPS is enabled on the server side, the user must provide the https URI scheme to the browser. No http access will exist.

R client

The following code snippet demonstrates connecting to an H2O cluster with HTTPS:

h2o.init(ip = "a.b.c.d", port = 54321, https = TRUE, insecure = TRUE)

The underlying HTTPS implementation is provided by RCurl and by extension libcurl and OpenSSL.

Caution:

Certificate checking has not been implemented yet. The insecure flag tells the client to ignore certificate checking. This means your client is exposed to a man-in-the-middle attack. We assume for the time being that in a secure corporate network such attacks are of low concern. Currently, the insecure flag must be set to TRUE so that in some future version of H2O you will confidently know when certificate checking has actually been implemented.

Python client

Not yet implemented. Please contact H2O for an update.

HTTPS server side

A Java Keystore must be provided on the server side to enable HTTPS. Keystores can be manipulated on the command line with the keytool command.

H2O Enterprise Edition ships with a (compromised) keystore file (h2o.jks) for convenience that you can use to get started. The JKS password for this keystore is “h2oh2o”.

The underlying HTTPS implementation is provided by Jetty 8 and the Java runtime. (Note: Jetty 8 was chosen to retain Java 6 compatibility.)

Standalone H2O EE

The following new options are available in H2O Enterprise Edition:

-jks <filename>
     Java keystore file

-jks_pass <password>
     (Default is 'h2oh2o')

Example:

java -jar h2o.jar -jks h2o.jks
H2O EE on Hadoop

The following new options are available in H2O Enterprise Edition:

-jks <filename>
     Java keystore file

-jks_pass <password>
     (Default is 'h2oh2o')

Example:

hadoop jar h2odriver.jar -n 3 -mapperXmx 10g -jks h2o.jks -output hdfsOutputDirectory
Sparkling Water EE

The following new Spark conf properties exist in H2O Enterprise Edition for Java keystore configurtion:

Spark conf property Description
spark.ext.h2o.jks Path to Java Keystore
spark.ext.h2o.jks.pass JKS password

Example:

$SPARK_HOME/bin/spark-submit --class water.SparklingWaterDriver --conf spark.ext.h2o.jks=/path/to/h2o.jks sparkling-water-assembly-0.2.17-SNAPSHOT-all.jar

LDAP authentication

H2O client and server side configuration for LDAP is discussed below. Authentication is implemented using Basic Auth.

LDAP H2O-client side

Flow Web UI client

When authentication is enabled, the user will be presented with a username and password dialog box when attempting to reach Flow.

R client

The following code snippet demonstrates connecting to an H2O cluster with authentication:

h2o.init(ip = "a.b.c.d", port = 54321, username = "myusername", password = "mypassword")
Python client

Not yet implemented. Please contact H2O for an update.

LDAP H2O-server side

An ldap.conf configuration file must be provided by the user. As an example, this file works for H2O’s internal LDAP server. You will certainly need help from your IT security folks to adjust this configuration file for your environment.

Example ldap.conf:

ldaploginmodule {
    org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jaas.spi.LdapLoginModule required
    debug="true"
    useLdaps="false"
    contextFactory="com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory"
    hostname="ldap.0xdata.loc"
    port="389"
    bindDn="cn=admin,dc=0xdata,dc=loc"
    bindPassword="0xdata"
    authenticationMethod="simple"
    forceBindingLogin="true"
    userBaseDn="ou=users,dc=0xdata,dc=loc"
    userRdnAttribute="uid"
    userIdAttribute="uid"
    userPasswordAttribute="userPassword"
    userObjectClass="inetOrgPerson"
    roleBaseDn="ou=groups,dc=0xdata,dc=loc"
    roleNameAttribute="cn"
    roleMemberAttribute="uniqueMember"
    roleObjectClass="groupOfUniqueNames";
};

Hash file authentication

H2O client and server side configuration for a hardcoded hash file is discussed below. Authentication is implemented using Basic Auth.

Hash file H2O-client side

Flow Web UI client

When authentication is enabled, the user will be presented with a username and password dialog box when attempting to reach Flow.

R client

The following code snippet demonstrates connecting to an H2O cluster with authentication:

h2o.init(ip = "a.b.c.d", port = 54321, username = "myusername", password = "mypassword")
Python client

This error output indicates that your Java version is not supported. Upgrade to Java 7 (JVM) or later and H2O should launch successfully.

Algorithms

What does it mean if the r2 value in my model is negative?

The coefficient of determination (also known as r^2) can be negative if:

If your r2 value is negative after your model is complete, your model is likely incorrect. Make sure your data is suitable for the type of model, then try adding an intercept.

What’s the process for implementing new algorithms in H2O?

This blog post by Cliff walks you through building a new algorithm, using K-Means, Quantiles, and Grep as examples.

To learn more about performance characteristics when implementing new algorithms, refer to Cliff’s KV Store Guide.

How do I find the standard errors of the parameter estimates (p-values)?

P-values are currently not supported. They are on our road map and will be added, depending on the current customer demand/priorities. Generally, adding p-values involves significant engineering effort because p-values for regularized GLM are not straightforward and have been defined only recently (with no standard implementation available that we know of). P-values for a restricted set of GLM problems (no regularization, low number of predictors) are easier to do and may be added sooner, if there is a sufficient demand.

For now, we recommend using a non-zero l1 penalty (alpha > 0) and considering all non-zero coefficients in the model as significant. The recommended use case is running GLM with lambda search enabled and alpha > 0 and picking the best lambda value based on cross-validation or hold-out set validation.

How do I specify regression or classification for Distributed Random Forest in the web UI?

If the response column is numeric, H2O generates a regression model. If the response column is enum, the model uses classification. To specify the column type, select it from the drop-down column heading list in the Data Preview section during parsing.

What’s the largest number of classes that H2O supports for multinomial prediction?

For tree-based algorithms, the maximum number of classes (or levels) for a response column is 1000.

How do I obtain a tree diagram of my DRF model?

Output the SVG code for the edges and nodes. A simple tree visitor is available here and the Java code generator is available here.

Is Word2Vec available? I can see the Java and R sources, but calling the API generates an error.

Word2Vec, along with other natural language processing (NLP) algos, are currently in development in the current version of H2O.

What are the “best practices” for preparing data for a K-Means model?

There aren’t specific “best practices,” as it depends on your data and the column types. However, removing outliers and transforming any categorical columns to have the same weight as the numeric columns will help, especially if you’re standardizing your data.

What is your implementation of Deep Learning based on?

Our Deep Learning algorithm is based on the feedforward neural net. For more information, refer to our Data Science documentation or Wikipedia.

How is deviance computed for a Deep Learning regression model?

For a Deep Learning regression model, deviance is computed as follows:

Loss = MeanSquare -> MSE==Deviance For Absolute/Laplace or Huber -> MSE != Deviance.

For my 0-tree GBM multinomial model, I got a different score depending on whether or not validation was enabled, even though my dataset was the same - why is that?

Different results may be generated because of the way H2O computes the initial MSE.

How does your Deep Learning Autoencoder work? Is it deep or shallow?

H2O’s DL autoencoder is based on the standard deep (multi-layer) neural net architecture, where the entire network is learned together, instead of being stacked layer-by-layer. The only difference is that no response is required in the input and that the output layer has as many neurons as the input layer. If you don’t achieve convergence, then try using the Tanh activation and fewer layers. We have some example test scripts here, and even some that show how stacked auto-encoders can be implemented in R.

Are there any H2O examples using text for classification?

Currently, the following examples are available for Sparkling Water:

a) Use TF-IDF weighting scheme for classifying text messages https://github.com/h2oai/sparkling-water/blob/master/examples/scripts/mlconf_2015_hamSpam.script.scala

b) Use Word2Vec Skip-gram model + GBM for classifying job titles https://github.com/h2oai/sparkling-water/blob/master/examples/scripts/craigslistJobTitles.scala

Building H2O

Using ./gradlew build doesn’t generate a build successfully - is there anything I can do to troubleshoot?

Use ./gradlew clean before running ./gradlew build.

I tried using ./gradlew build after using git pull to update my local H2O repo, but now I can’t get H2O to build successfully - what should I do?

Try using ./gradlew build -x test - the build may be failing tests if data is not synced correctly.

Clusters

When trying to launch H2O, I received the following error message: ERROR: Too many retries starting cloud. What should I do?

If you are trying to start a multi-node cluster where the nodes use multiple network interfaces, by default H2O will resort to using the default host (127.0.0.1).

To specify an IP address, launch H2O using the following command:

java -jar h2o.jar -ip <IP_Address> -port <PortNumber>

If this does not resolve the issue, try the following additional troubleshooting tips:

What should I do if I tried to start a cluster but the nodes started independent clouds that are not connected?

Because the default cloud name is the user name of the node, if the nodes are on different operating systems (for example, one node is using Windows and the other uses OS X), the different user names on each machine will prevent the nodes from recognizing that they belong to the same cloud. To resolve this issue, use -name to configure the same name for all nodes.

One of the nodes in my cluster is unavailable — what do I do?

H2O does not support high availability (HA). If a node in the cluster is unavailable, bring the cluster down and create a new healthy cluster.

How do I add new nodes to an existing cluster?

New nodes can only be added if H2O has not started any jobs. Once H2O starts a task, it locks the cluster to prevent new nodes from joining. If H2O has started a job, you must create a new cluster to include additional nodes.

How do I check if all the nodes in the cluster are healthy and communicating?

In the Flow web UI, click the Admin menu and select Cluster Status.

How do I create a cluster behind a firewall?

H2O uses two ports:

You can start the cluster behind the firewall, but to reach it, you must make a tunnel to reach the REST_API port. To use the cluster, the REST_API port of at least one node must be reachable.

I launched H2O instances on my nodes - why won’t they form a cloud?

If you launch without specifying the IP address by adding argument -ip:

$ java -Xmx20g -jar h2o.jar -flatfile flatfile.txt -port 54321

and multiple local IP addresses are detected, H2O uses the default localhost (127.0.0.1) as shown below:

  10:26:32.266 main      WARN WATER: Multiple local IPs detected:
  +                                    /198.168.1.161  /198.168.58.102

To avoid using 127.0.0.1 on servers with multiple local IP addresses, run the command with the -ip argument to force H2O to launch at the specified IP:

$ java -Xmx20g -jar h2o.jar -flatfile flatfile.txt -ip 192.168.1.161 -port 54321

Data

How should I format my SVMLight data before importing?

The data must be formatted as a sorted list of unique integers, the column indices must be >= 1, and the columns must be in ascending order.

What date and time formats does H2O support?

H2O is set to auto-detect two major date/time formats. Because many date time formats are ambiguous (e.g. 01/02/03), general date time detection is not used.

The first format is for dates formatted as yyyy-MM-dd. Year is a four-digit number, the month is a two-digit number ranging from 1 to 12, and the day is a two-digit value ranging from 1 to 31. This format can also be followed by a space and then a time (specified below).

The second date format is for dates formatted as dd-MMM-yy. Here the day must be one or two digits with a value ranging from 1 to 31. The month must be either a three-letter abbreviation or the full month name but is not case sensitive. The year must be either two or four digits. In agreement with POSIX standards, two-digit dates >= 69 are assumed to be in the 20th century (e.g. 1969) and the rest are part of the 21st century. This date format can be followed by either a space or colon character and then a time. The ‘-‘ between the values is optional.

Times are specified as HH:mm:ss. HH is a two-digit hour and must be a value between 0-23 (for 24-hour time) or 1-12 (for a twelve-hour clock). mm is a two-digit minute value and must be a value between 0-59. ss is a two-digit second value and must be a value between 0-59. This format can be followed with either milliseconds, nanoseconds, and/or the cycle (i.e. AM/PM). If milliseconds are included, the format is HH:mm:ss:SSS. If nanoseconds are included, the format is HH:mm:ss:SSSnnnnnn. H2O only stores fractions of a second up to the millisecond, so accuracy may be lost. Nanosecond parsing is only included for convenience. Finally, a valid time can end with a space character and then either “AM” or “PM”. For this format, the hours must range from 1 to 12. Within the time, the ‘:’ character can be replaced with a ‘.’ character.

How does H2O handle name collisions/conflicts in the dataset?

If there is a name conflict (for example, column 48 isn’t named, but C48 already exists), then the column name in concatenated to itself until a unique name is created. So for the previously cited example, H2O will try renaming the column to C48C48, then C48C48C48, and so on until an unused name is generated.

What types of data columns does H2O support?

Currently, H2O supports:

General

How do I score using an exported JSON model?

Since JSON is just a representation format, it cannot be directly executed, so a JSON export can’t be used for scoring. However, you can score by:

How do I score using an exported POJO?

The generated POJO can be used indepedently of a H2O cluster. First use curl to send the h2o-genmodel.jar file and the java code for model to the server. The following is an example; the ip address and model names will need to be changed. 

mkdir tmpdir
cd tmpdir
curl http://127.0.0.1:54321/3/h2o-genmodel.jar > h2o-genmodel.jar
curl http://127.0.0.1:54321/3/Models.java/gbm_model > gbm_model.java

To score a simple .CSV file, download the PredictCSV.java file and compile it with the POJO. Make a subdirectory for the compilation (this is useful if you have multiple models to score on).

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/h2oai/h2o-3/master/h2o-r/tests/testdir_javapredict/PredictCSV.java
mkdir gbm_model_dir
javac -cp h2o-genmodel.jar -J-Xmx2g -J-XX:MaxPermSize=128m PredictCSV.java gbm_model.java -d gbm_model_dir

Specify the following:

You must match the table column names to the order specified in the POJO. The output file will be in a .hex format, which is a lossless text representation of floating point numbers. Both R and Java will be able to read the hex strings as numerics.

java -ea -cp h2o-genmodel.jar:gbm_model_dir -Xmx4g -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=256m PredictCSV --header --model gbm_model --input input.csv --output output.csv

How do I predict using multiple response variables?

Currently, H2O does not support multiple response variables. To predict different response variables, build multiple models.

How do I kill any running instances of H2O?

In Terminal, enter ps -efww | grep h2o, then kill any running PIDs. You can also find the running instance in Terminal and press Ctrl + C on your keyboard. To confirm no H2O sessions are still running, go to http://localhost:54321 and verify that the H2O web UI does not display.

Why is H2O not launching from the command line?

The H2O launch failed because more memory was requested than was available. Make sure you are not trying to specify more memory in the launch parameters than you have available.

How does the architecture of H2O work?

This PDF includes diagrams and slides depicting how H2O works in big data environments.

How does H2O work with Excel?

For more information on how H2O works with Excel, refer to this page.

I received the following error message when launching H2O - how do I resolve the error?

Invalid flow_dir illegal character at index 12...

This error message means that there is a space (or other unsupported character) in your H2O directory. To resolve this error:

How does importFiles() work in H2O?

importFiles() gets the basic information for the file and then returns a key representing that file. This key is used during parsing to read in the file and to save space so that the file isn’t loaded every time; instead, it is loaded into H2O then referenced using the key. For files hosted online, H2O verifies the destination is valid, creates a vec that loads the file when necessary, and returns a key.

Does H2O support GPUs?

Currently, we do not support this capability. If you are interested in contributing your efforts to support this feature to our open-source code database, please contact us at h2ostream@googlegroups.com.

How can I continue working on a model in H2O after restarting?

There are a number of ways you can save your model in H2O:

How can I find out more about H2O’s real-time, nano-fast scoring engine?

H2O’s scoring engine uses a Plain Old Java Object (POJO). The POJO code runs quickly but is single-threaded. It is intended for embedding into lightweight real-time environments.

All the work is done by the call to the appropriate predict method. There is no involvement from H2O in this case.

To compare multiple models simultaneously, use the POJO to call the models using multiple threads. For more information on using POJOs, refer to the POJO Quick Start Guide and POJO Java Documentation

In-H2O scoring is triggered on an existing H2O cluster, typically using a REST API call. H2O evaluates the predictions in a parallel and distributed fashion for this case. The predictions are stored into a new Frame and can be written out using h2o.exportFile(), for example.

Hadoop

Why did I get an error in R when I tried to save my model to my home directory in Hadoop?

To save the model in HDFS, prepend the save directory with hdfs://:

# build model
model = h2o.glm(model params)

# save model
hdfs_name_node <- "mr-0x6"
hdfs_tmp_dir <- "/tmp/runit”
model_path <- sprintf("hdfs://%s%s", hdfs_name_node, hdfs_tmp_dir)
h2o.saveModel(model, dir = model_path, name = “mymodel")

How do I specify which nodes should run H2O in a Hadoop cluster?

Currently, this is not yet supported. To provide resource isolation (for example, to isolate H2O to the worker nodes, rather than the master nodes), use YARN Nodemanagers to specify the nodes to use.

How do I import data from HDFS in R and in Flow?

To import from HDFS in R: 

h2o.importHDFS(path, conn = h2o.getConnection(), pattern = "",
destination_frame = "", parse = TRUE, header = NA, sep = "",
col.names = NULL, na.strings = NULL)

Here is another example: 

# pathToAirlines <- "hdfs://mr-0xd6.0xdata.loc/datasets/airlines_all.csv"
# airlines.hex <- h2o.importFile(conn = h, path = pathToAirlines, destination_frame = "airlines.hex")

In Flow, the easiest way is to let the auto-suggestion feature in the Search: field complete the path for you. Just start typing the path to the file, starting with the top-level directory, and H2O provides a list of matching files.

Flow - Import Auto-Suggest

Click the file to add it to the Search: field.

Why do I receive the following error when I try to save my notebook in Flow?

Error saving notebook: Error calling POST /3/NodePersistentStorage/notebook/Test%201 with opts

When you are running H2O on Hadoop, H2O tries to determine the home HDFS directory so it can use that as the download location. If the default home HDFS directory is not found, manually set the download location from the command line using the -flow_dir parameter (for example, hadoop jar h2odriver.jar <...> -flow_dir hdfs:///user/yourname/yourflowdir). You can view the default download directory in the logs by clicking Admin > View logs… and looking for the line that begins Flow dir:.

Java

How do I use H2O with Java?

There are two ways to use H2O with Java. The simplest way is to call the REST API from your Java program to a remote cluster and should meet the needs of most users.

You can access the REST API documentation within Flow, or on our documentation site.

Flow, Python, and R all rely on the REST API to run H2O. For example, each action in Flow translates into one or more REST API calls. The script fragments in the cells in Flow are essentially the payloads for the REST API calls. Most R and Python API calls translate into a single REST API call.

To see how the REST API is used with H2O:

The second way to use H2O with Java is to embed H2O within your Java application, similar to Sparkling Water.

How do I communicate with a remote cluster using the REST API?

To create a set of bare POJOs for the REST API payloads that can be used by JVM REST API clients:

  1. Clone the sources from GitHub.
  2. Start an H2O instance.
  3. Enter % cd py.
  4. Enter % python generate_java_binding.py.

This script connects to the server, gets all the metadata for the REST API schemas, and writes the Java POJOs to {sourcehome}/build/bindings/Java.

I keep getting a message that I need to install Java. I have the latest version of Java installed, but I am still getting this message. What should I do?

This error message displays if the JAVA_HOME environment variable is not set correctly. The JAVA_HOME variable is likely points to Apple Java version 6 instead of Oracle Java version 8.

If you are running OS X 10.7 or earlier, enter the following in Terminal: export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home

If you are running OS X 10.8 or later, modify the launchd.plist by entering the following in Terminal: 

cat << EOF | sudo tee /Library/LaunchDaemons/setenv.JAVA_HOME.plist
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Python

How do I specify a value as an enum in Python? Is there a Python equivalent of as.factor() in R?

Use .asfactor() to specify a value as an enum.

I received the following error when I tried to install H2O using the Python instructions on the downloads page - what should I do to resolve it?

With Python, there is no automatic update of installed packages, so you must upgrade manually. Additionally, the package distribution method recently changed from distutils to wheel. The following procedure should be tried first if you are having trouble installing the H2O package, particularly if error messages related to bdist_wheel or eggs display. 

# this gets the latest setuptools 
# see https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html 
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -O - | sudo python 

# platform dependent ways of installing pip are at 
# https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html 
# but the above should work on most linux platforms? 

# on ubuntu 
# if you already have some version of pip, you can skip this. 
sudo apt-get install python-pip 

# the package manager doesn't install the latest. upgrade to latest 
# we're not using easy_install any more, so don't care about checking that 
pip install pip --upgrade 

# I've seen pip not install to the final version ..i.e. it goes to an almost 
# final version first, then another upgrade gets it to the final version. 
# We'll cover that, and also double check the install. 

# after upgrading pip, the path name may change from /usr/bin to /usr/local/bin 
# start a new shell, just to make sure you see any path changes 

bash 

# Also: I like double checking that the install is bulletproof by reinstalling. 
# Sometimes it seems like things say they are installed, but have errors during the install. Check for no errors or stack traces. 

pip install pip --upgrade --force-reinstall 

# distribute should be at the most recent now. Just in case 
# don't do --force-reinstall here, it causes an issue. 

pip install distribute --upgrade 


# Now check the versions 
pip list | egrep '(distribute|pip|setuptools)' 
distribute (0.7.3) 
pip (7.0.3) 
setuptools (17.0) 


# Re-install wheel 
pip install wheel --upgrade --force-reinstall

After completing this procedure, go to Python and use h2o.init() to start H2O in Python.

Note:

If you use gradlew to build the jar yourself, you have to start the jar >yourself before you do h2o.init().

If you download the jar and the H2O package, h2o.init() will work like R >and you don’t have to start the jar yourself.

How should I specify the datatype during import in Python?

Refer to the following example: 

fraw = h2o.import_file("smalldata/logreg/prostate.csv") 
fsetup = h2o.parse_setup(fraw) 
fsetup["column_types"][1] = "Enum" # change second column "CAPSULE" to categorical 
fr = h2o.parse_raw(fsetup) 
fr.describe()

R

Which versions of R are compatible with H2O?

Currently, the only version of R that is known to not work well with H2O is R version 3.1.0 (codename “Spring Dance”). If you are using this version, we recommend upgrading the R version before using H2O.

How can I install the H2O R package if I am having permissions problems?

This issue typically occurs for Linux users when the R software was installed by a root user. For more information, refer to the following link.

To specify the installation location for the R packages, create a file that contains the R_LIBS_USER environment variable:

echo R_LIBS_USER=\"~/.Rlibrary\" > ~/.Renviron

Confirm the file was created successfully using cat:

$ cat ~/.Renviron

You should see the following output:

R_LIBS_USER="~/.Rlibrary"

Create a new directory for the environment variable:

$ mkdir ~/.Rlibrary

Start R and enter the following:

.libPaths()

Look for the following output to confirm the changes: 

[1] "<Your home directory>/.Rlibrary"                                         
[2] "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/Resources/library"

I received the following error message after launching H2O in RStudio and using h2o.init - what should I do to resolve this error?

> localH2O = h2o.init()

Error in fromJSON(rv$payload) : unexpected character '<'
Calls: h2o.init ... gsub -> .h2o.doSafeGET -> .h2o.doSafeREST -> fromJSON
Execution halted

This error is due to a version mismatch between the H2O package and the running H2O instance. Make sure you are using the latest version of both files by downloading H2O from the downloads page and installing the latest version and that you have removed any previous H2O R package versions by running: 

if ("package:h2o" %in% search()) { detach("package:h2o", unload=TRUE) }
if ("h2o" %in% rownames(installed.packages())) { remove.packages("h2o") }

Make sure to install the dependencies for the H2O R package as well: 

if (! ("methods" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))) { install.packages("methods") }
if (! ("statmod" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))) { install.packages("statmod") }
if (! ("stats" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))) { install.packages("stats") }
if (! ("graphics" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))) { install.packages("graphics") }
if (! ("RCurl" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))) { install.packages("RCurl") }
if (! ("jsonlite" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))) { install.packages("jsonlite") }
if (! ("tools" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))) { install.packages("tools") }
if (! ("utils" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))) { install.packages("utils") }

Finally, install the latest version of the H2O package for R: 

install.packages("h2o", type="source", repos=(c("http://h2o-release.s3.amazonaws.com/h2o/master/1/R")))
library(h2o)
localH2O = h2o.init()

I received the following error message after trying to run some code - what should I do?

In addition: Warning message:
Not all shim outputs are fully supported, please see ?h2o.shim for more information

Remove the h2o.shim(enable=TRUE) line and try running the code again. Note that the h2o.shim is only a way to notify users of previous versions of H2O about changes to the H2O R package - it will not revise your code, but provides suggested replacements for deprecated commands and parameters.

How do I extract the model weights from a model I’ve creating using H2O in R? I’ve enabled extract_model_weights_and_biases, but the output refers to a file I can’t open in R.

For an example of how to extract weights and biases from a model, refer to the following repo location on GitHub.

I’m using CentOS and I want to run H2O in R - are there any dependencies I need to install?

Yes, make sure to install libcurl, which allows H2O to communicate with R. We also recommend disabling SElinux and any firewalls, at least initially until you have confirmed H2O can initialize.

How do I change variable/header names on an H2O frame in R?

There are two ways to change header names. To specify the headers during parsing, import the headers in R and then specify the header as the column name when the actual data frame is imported: 

header <- h2o.importFile(path = pathToHeader)
data   <- h2o.importFile(path = pathToData, col.names = header)
data

You can also use the names() function: 

header <- c("user", "specified", "column", "names")
data   <- h2o.importFile(path = pathToData)
names(data) <- header

To replace specific column names, you can also use a sub/gsub in R: 

header <- c("user", "specified", "column", "names")
## I want to replace "user" column with "computer"
data   <- h2o.importFile(path = pathToData)
names(data) <- sub(pattern = "user", replacement = "computer", x = names(header))

My R terminal crashed - how can I re-access my H2O frame?

Launch H2O and use your web browser to access the web UI, Flow, at localhost:54321. Click the Data menu, then click List All Frames. Copy the frame ID, then run h2o.ls() in R to list all the frames, or use the frame ID in the following code (replacing YOUR_FRAME_ID with the frame ID): 

library(h2o)
localH2O = h2o.init(ip="sri.h2o.ai", port=54321, startH2O = F, strict_version_check=T)
data_frame <- h2o.getFrame(frame_id = "YOUR_FRAME_ID",conn = localH2O)

How do I remove rows containing NAs in an H2OFrame?

To remove NAs from rows:

  a   b    c    d    e
1 0   NA   NA   NA   NA
2 0   2    2    2    2
3 0   NA   NA   NA   NA
4 0   NA   NA   1    2
5 0   NA   NA   NA   NA
6 0   1    2    3    2

Removing rows 1, 3, 4, 5 to get:

  a   b    c    d    e
2 0   2    2    2    2
6 0   1    2    3    2

Use na.omit(myFrame), where myFrame represents the name of the frame you are editing.

I installed H2O in R using OS X and updated all the dependencies, but the following error message displayed: Error in .h2o.doSafeREST(conn = conn, h2oRestApiVersion = h2oRestApiVersion, Unexpected CURL error: Empty reply from server - what should I do?

This error message displays if the JAVA_HOME environment variable is not set correctly. The JAVA_HOME variable is likely points to Apple Java version 6 instead of Oracle Java version 8.

If you are running OS X 10.7 or earlier, enter the following in Terminal: export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home

If you are running OS X 10.8 or later, modify the launchd.plist by entering the following in Terminal: 

cat << EOF | sudo tee /Library/LaunchDaemons/setenv.JAVA_HOME.plist

How does the col.names argument work in group_by?

You need to add the col.names inside the gb.control list. Refer to the following example:

newframe <- h2o.group_by(dd, by="footwear_category", nrow("email_event_click_ct"), sum("email_event_click_ct"), mean("email_event_click_ct"),
    sd("email_event_click_ct"), gb.control = list( col.names=c("count", "total_email_event_click_ct", "avg_email_event_click_ct", "std_email_event_click_ct") ) )
newframe$avg_email_event_click_ct2 = newframe$total_email_event_click_ct / newframe$count

Sparkling Water

How do I filter an H2OFrame using Sparkling Water?

Filtering columns is easy: just remove the unnecessary columns or create a new H2OFrame from the columns you want to include (Frame(String[] names, Vec[] vec)), then make the H2OFrame wrapper around it (new H2OFrame(frame)).

Filtering rows is a little bit harder. There are two ways:

How do I inspect H2O using Flow while a droplet is running?

If your droplet execution time is very short, add a simple sleep statement to your code:

Thread.sleep(...)

How do I change the memory size of the executors in a droplet?

There are two ways to do this:

I received the following error while running Sparkling Water using multiple nodes, but not when using a single node - what should I do?

This error output displays if the input file is not present on all nodes. Because of the way that Sparkling Water distributes data, the input file is required on all nodes (including remote), not just the primary node. Make sure there is a copy of the input file on all the nodes, then try again.

Are there any drawbacks to using Sparkling Water compared to standalone H2O?

The version of H2O embedded in Sparkling Water is the same as the standalone version.

How do I use Sparkling Water from the Spark shell?

There are two methods:

The software distribution provides example scripts in the examples/scripts directory:

bin/sparkling-shell -i examples/scripts/chicagoCrimeSmallShell.script.scala

For either method, initialize H2O as shown in the following example: 

import org.apache.spark.h2o._
val h2oContext = new H2OContext(sc).start()

After successfully launching H2O, the following output displays: 

Sparkling Water Context:

  ------------------------

  Open H2O Flow in browser: http://172.16.2.223:54327 (CMD + click in Mac OSX)

How do I use H2O with Spark Submit?

Spark Submit is for submitting self-contained applications. For more information, refer to the Spark documentation.

First, initialize H2O: 

import org.apache.spark.h2o._
val h2oContext = new H2OContext(sc).start()

The Sparkling Water distribution provides several examples of self-contained applications built with Sparkling Water. To run the examples:

bin/run-example.sh ChicagoCrimeAppSmall

The “magic” behind run-example.sh is a regular Spark Submit:

$SPARK_HOME/bin/spark-submit ChicagoCrimeAppSmall --packages ai.h2o:sparkling-water-core_2.10:1.3.3 --packages ai.h2o:sparkling-water-examples_2.10:1.3.3

How do I use Sparkling Water with Databricks cloud?

Sparkling Water compatibility with Databricks cloud is still in development.

How do I develop applications with Sparkling Water?

For a regular Spark application (a self-contained application as described in the Spark documentation), the app needs to initialize H2OServices via H2OContext: 

import org.apache.spark.h2o._
val h2oContext = new H2OContext(sc).start()

For more information, refer to the Sparkling Water development documentation.

How do I connect to Sparkling Water from R or Python?

After starting H2OServices by starting H2OContext, point your client to the IP address and port number specified in H2OContext.

I’m getting a java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when I try to run Sparkling Water - what do I need to do to resolve this error?

This error message displays if you have not set up the H2OContext before running Sparkling Water. To set up the H2OContext: 

import org.apache.spark.h2o._
val h2oContext = new H2OContext(sc)

After setting up H2OContext, try to run Sparkling Water again.

Tableau

Where can I learn more about running H2O with Tableau?

For more information about using H2O with Tableau, refer to this link and our demo in our GitHub repository. Other demos are available here and here.

Tunneling between servers with H2O

To tunnel between servers (for example, due to firewalls):

  1. Use ssh to log in to the machine where H2O will run.

  2. Start an instance of H2O by locating the working directory and calling a java command similar to the following example.

    The port number chosen here is arbitrary; yours may be different.

    $ java -jar h2o.jar -port 55599

    This returns output similar to the following:

  3. Log into the remote machine where the running instance of H2O will be forwarded using a command similar to the following (your specified port numbers and IP address will be different)

    ssh -L 55577:localhost:55599 irene@192.168.1.173

  4. Check the cluster status.

You are now using H2O from localhost:55577, but the instance of H2O is running on the remote server (in this case the server with the ip address 192.168.1.xxx) at port number 55599.

To see this in action note that the web UI is pointed at localhost:55577, but that the cluster status shows the cluster running on 192.168.1.173:55599
