Spark - H2O Frame Mapping

Type Mapping between H2O H2OFrame Types and Spark DataFrame Types

For all primitive Scala types or Spark SQL (see org.apache.spark.sql.types) types that can be part of Spark RDD/DataFrame, we provide mapping into H2O vector types (numeric, categorical, string, time, UUID - see water.fvec.Vec):

Scala type	SQL type	H2O type
NA	BinaryType	Numeric
Byte	ByteType	Numeric
Short	ShortType	Numeric
Integer	IntegerType	Numeric
Long	LongType	Numeric
Float	FloatType	Numeric
Double	DoubleType	Numeric
String	StringType	String
Boolean	BooleanType	Numeric
java.sql.Timestamp	TimestampType	Time

Type Mapping Between H2O H2OFrame Types and RDD[T] Types

As type T, we support following types:

T
NA
Byte
Short
Integer
Long
Float
Double
String
Boolean
java.sql.Timestamp
Any scala class extending scala Product
org.apache.spark.mllib.regression.LabeledPoint

As is specified in the table, Sparkling Water provides support for transforming arbitrary scala class extending Product, which are, for example, all case classes.
