… 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.
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:
- JVM arguments
- H2O arguments
The arguments use the following format: java <JVM Options>
-jar h2o.jar <H2O Options>
.
JVM Options
-version
: Display Java version info.-Xmx<Heap Size>
: To set the total heap size for an H2O node, configure the memory allocation option-Xmx
. By default, this option is set to 1 Gb (-Xmx1g
). When launching nodes, we recommend allocating a total of four times the memory of your data.
Note: Do not try to launch H2O with more memory than you have available.
H2O Options
-h
or-help
: Display this information in the command line output.-name <H2OCloudName>
: Assign a name to the H2O instance in the cloud (where<H2OCloudName>
is the name of the cloud. Nodes with the same cloud name will form an H2O cloud (also known as an H2O cluster).-flatfile <FileName>
: Specify a flatfile of IP address for faster cloud formation (where<FileName>
is the name of the flatfile.-ip <IPnodeAddress>
: Specify an IP address other than the defaultlocalhost
for the node to use (where<IPnodeAddress>
is the IP address).-port <#>
: Specify a port number other than the default54321
for the node to use (where<#>
is the port number).-network ###.##.##.#/##
: Specify an IP addresses (where###.##.##.#/##
represents the IP address and subnet mask). The IP address discovery code binds to the first interface that matches one of the networks in the comma-separated list; to specify an IP address, use-network
. To specify a range, use a comma to separate the IP addresses:-network 123.45.67.0/22,123.45.68.0/24
. For example,10.1.2.0/24
supports 256 possibilities.-ice_root <fileSystemPath>
: Specify a directory for H2O to spill temporary data to disk (where<fileSystemPath>
is the file path).-flow_dir <server-side or HDFS directory>
: Specify a directory for saved flows. The default is/Users/h2o-<H2OUserName>/h2oflows
(where<H2OUserName>
is your user name).-nthreads <#ofThreads>
: Specify the maximum number of threads in the low-priority batch work queue (where<#ofThreads>
is the number of threads). The default is 99.-client
: Launch H2O node in client mode. This is used mostly for running Sparkling Water.
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.
To start an H2O node with 4GB of memory and a default cloud name:
java -Xmx4g -jar h2o.jar
To start an H2O node with 6GB of memory and a specific cloud name:
java -Xmx6g -jar h2o.jar -name MyCloud
To start an H2O cloud with three 2GB nodes using the default cloud names:
java -Xmx2g -jar h2o.jar & java -Xmx2g -jar h2o.jar & java -Xmx2g -jar h2o.jar &
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:
- 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.
- Download the appropriate version of H2O for your environment.
- Verify the same h2o.jar file is available on each host in the multi-node cluster.
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
- Copy the flatfile.txt to each node in the cluster.
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@###.###.#.##' 04-20 16:14:00.253 192.168.1.70:54321 2754 main INFO: 2.

… 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.
You can pass in credentials in standalone mode the same way as accessing data from HDFS on Hadoop. Create a
core-site.xml
file and pass it in with the flag-hdfs_config
. For an examplecore-site.xml
file, refer to Core-site.xml.Edit the properties in the core-site.xml file to include your Access Key ID and Access Key as shown in the following example:
<property> <name>fs.s3n.awsAccessKeyId</name> <value>[AWS SECRET KEY]</value> </property> <property> <name>fs.s3n.awsSecretAccessKey</name> <value>[AWS SECRET ACCESS KEY]</value> </property>
Launch with the configuration file
core-site.xml
by entering the following in the command line:java -jar h2o.jar -hdfs_config core-site.xml
Import the data using importFile with the S3 url path:
s3n://bucket/path/to/file.csv
You can pass the AWS Access Key and Secret Access Key in an S3N Url in Flow, R, or Python (where
AWS_ACCESS_KEY
represents your user name andAWS_SECRET_KEY
represents your password).To import the data from the Flow API:
`importFiles [ "s3n://<AWS_ACCESS_KEY>:<AWS_SECRET_KEY>@bucket/path/to/file.csv" ]`
To import the data from the R API:
`h2o.importFile(path = "s3n://<AWS_ACCESS_KEY>:<AWS_SECRET_KEY>@bucket/path/to/file.csv")`
To import the data from the Python API:
`h2o.import_frame(path = "s3n://<AWS_ACCESS_KEY>:<AWS_SECRET_KEY>@bucket/path/to/file.csv")`
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
- Selecting the Operating System and Virtualization Type
- Configuring the Instance
- Downloading Java and 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.
For more information about virtualization types, refer to Amazon.
Configuring the Instance
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.
When launching the instance, select an accessible 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:
- Launch the PuTTY Key Generator.
- Load your downloaded AWS pem key file. Note: To see the file, change the browser file type to “All”.
Save the private key as a .ppk file.
Launch the PuTTY client.
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 isec2-user@<ip-address>
.Select SSH, then Auth in the sidebar, and click the Browse button to select the private key file for authentication.
Start a new session and click the Yes button to confirm caching of the server’s rsa2 key fingerprint and continue connecting.
Downloading Java and H2O
- Download Java (JDK 1.7 or later) if it is not already available on the instance.
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-shannon/25/index.html unzip h2o-3.0.0.25.zip cd h2o-3.0.0.25 java -Xmx4g -jar h2o.jar
From your browser, navigate to
<Private_IP_Address>:54321
or<Public_DNS>:54321
to use H2O’s web interface.
… On Hadoop
Currently supported versions:
- CDH 5.2
- CDH 5.3
- CDH 5.4.2
- HDP 2.1
- HDP 2.2
- MapR 3.1.1
- MapR 4.0.1
Important Points to Remember:
- The command used to launch H2O differs from previous versions (refer to the Tutorial section)
- Launching H2O on Hadoop requires at least 6 GB of memory
- Each H2O node runs as a mapper
- Run only one mapper per host
- There are no combiners or reducers
- Each H2O cluster must have a unique job name
-mapperXmx
,-nodes
, and-output
are required- Root permissions are not required - just unzip the H2O .zip file on any single node
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.
Download the latest H2O release for your version of Hadoop:
wget http://h2o-release.s3.amazonaws.com/h2o/master/25/h2o-3.0.0.25-cdh5.2.zip wget http://h2o-release.s3.amazonaws.com/h2o/master/25/h2o-3.0.0.25-cdh5.3.zip wget http://h2o-release.s3.amazonaws.com/h2o/master/25/h2o-3.0.0.25-hdp2.1.zip wget http://h2o-release.s3.amazonaws.com/h2o/master/25/h2o-3.0.0.25-hdp2.2.zip wget http://h2o-release.s3.amazonaws.com/h2o/master/25/h2o-3.0.0.25-mapr3.1.1.zip wget http://h2o-release.s3.amazonaws.com/h2o/master/25/h2o-3.0.0.25-mapr4.0.1.zip
Note: Enter only one of the above commands.
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-3.0.0.25-*.zip cd h2o-3.0.0.25-*
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.
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.

.
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:
To import the data from the Flow API:
importFiles [ "s3n://bucket/path/to/file.csv" ]
To import the data from the R API:
h2o.importFile(path = "s3n://bucket/path/to/file.csv")
To import the data from the Python API:
h2o.import_frame(path = "s3n://bucket/path/to/file.csv")
… Using Docker
This walkthrough describes:
- Installing Docker on Mac or Linux OS
- Creating and modifying the Dockerfile
- Building a Docker image from the Dockerfile
- Running the Docker build
- Launching H2O
- Accessing H2O from the web browser or R
Walkthrough
Prerequisites
Linux kernel version 3.8+
or
Mac OS X 10.6+
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:
- Pull and update the base image (Ubuntu 14.04)
- Install Java 7
- Fetch and download the H2O Shannon build from H2O’s S3 repository
- Expose port 54321 and 54322 in preparation for launching H2O on those ports
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
- On Linux, when H2O finishes launching, you can copy and paste the IP address and port of the H2O instance. In the following example, that would be 172.17.0.5:54321.
03:58:25.963 main INFO WATER: Cloud of size 1 formed [/172.17.0.5:54321 (00:00:00.000)]
- If it is running on a Mac, you will need to find the IP address of the Docker’s network that bridges to your Host OS. To do this, open a new terminal (not a bash for your container) and run
boot2docker ip
.
$ 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.
Introduction
This guide will walk you through how to use H2O’s web UI, H2O Flow. To view a demo video of H2O Flow, click here.
Getting Help
First, let’s go over the basics. Type h
to view a list of helpful shortcuts.
The following help window displays:
To close this window, click the X in the upper-right corner, or click the Close button in the lower-right corner. You can also click behind the window to close it. You can also access this list of shortcuts by clicking the Help menu and selecting Keyboard Shortcuts.
For additional help, click Help > Assist Me or click the Assist Me! button in the row of buttons below the menus.
You can also type assist
in a blank cell and press Ctrl+Enter. A list of common tasks displays to help you find the correct command.
There are multiple resources to help you get started with Flow in the Help sidebar.
Note: To hide the sidebar, click the >> button above it.
To display the sidebar if it is hidden, click the << button.
To access this documentation, select the Getting Started with H2O Flow link below the Help Topics heading.
You can also explore the pre-configured flows available in H2O Flow for a demonstration of how to create a flow. To view the example flows:
- Click the view example Flows link below the Quickstart Videos button in the Help sidebar or
Click the Browse installed packs… link in the Packs subsection of the Help sidebar. Click the examples folder and select the example flow from the list.
If you have a flow currently open, a confirmation window appears asking if the current notebook should be replaced. To load the example flow, click the Load Notebook button.
To view the REST API documentation, click the Help tab in the sidebar and then select the type of REST API documentation (Routes or Schemas).
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
- Using Edit Mode
- Using Command Mode
- Changing Cell Formats
- Running Cells
- Running Flows
- Using Keyboard Shortcuts
- Using Variables in Cells
- Using Flow Buttons
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.
Using Command Mode
In command mode, the flag is yellow. The flag also indicates the cell’s format:
MD: Markdown
Note: Markdown formatting is not applied until you run the cell by:
clicking the Run button or
pressing Ctrl+Enter
CS: Code (default)
RAW: Raw format (for code comments)
H[1-6]: Heading level (where 1 is a first-level heading)
NOTE: If there is an error in the cell, the flag is red.
If the cell is executing commands, the flag is teal. The flag returns to yellow when the task is complete.
Changing Cell Formats
To change the cell’s format (for example, from code to Markdown), make sure you are in not 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.
Cell Mode | Keyboard Shortcut |
---|---|
Code | y |
Markdown | m |
Raw text | r |
Heading 1 | 1 |
Heading 2 | 2 |
Heading 3 | 3 |
Heading 4 | 4 |
Heading 5 | 5 |
Heading 6 | 6 |
Running Cells
The series of buttons at the top of the page below the menus run cells in a flow.
- To run all cells in the flow, click the Flow menu, then click Run All Cells.
- To run the current cell and all subsequent cells, click the Flow menu, then click Run All Cells Below.
To run an individual cell in a flow, confirm the cell is in Edit Mode, then:
press Ctrl+Enter
or
click the Run button
Running Flows
When you run the flow, a progress bar that indicates the current status of the flow. You can cancel the currently running flow by clicking the Stop button in the progress bar.
When the flow is complete, a message displays in the upper right.
Note: If there is an error in the flow, H2O Flow stops the flow at the cell that contains the error.
Using Keyboard Shortcuts
Here are some important keyboard shortcuts to remember:
- Click a cell and press Enter to enter edit mode, which allows you to change the contents of a cell.
- To exit edit mode, press Esc.
- To execute the contents of a cell, press the Ctrl and Enter buttons at the same time.
The following commands must be entered in command mode.
- To add a new cell above the current cell, press a.
- To add a new cell below the current cell, press b.
- To delete the current cell, press the d key twice. (dd).
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:
- 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"
). - Run the cell. H2O validates the variable.
- Use the variable in another code cell (for example,
importFiles [locA]
). 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.
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.
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:
Click the Assist Me! button in the row of buttons below the menus, then click the importFiles link. Enter the file path in the auto-completing Search entry field and press Enter. Select the file from the search results and select it by clicking the Add All link.
In a blank cell, select the CS format, then enter
importFiles ["path/filename.format"]
(wherepath/filename.format
represents the complete file path to the file, including the full file name. The file path can be a local file path or a website address.
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.
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.
To import the selected file(s), click the Import button.
To remove all files from the “Selected Files” list, click the Clear All link.
To remove a specific file, click the X next to the file path.
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.
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.
When the file has uploaded successfully, a message displays in the upper right and the Setup Parse cell displays.
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.
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:
- Auto
- ARFF
- XLS
- XLSX
- CSV
SVMLight
Note: For SVMLight data, the column indices must be >= 1 and the columns must be in ascending order.
If a separator or delimiter is used, select it from the Separator list.
Select a column header option, if applicable:
- Auto: Automatically detect header types.
- First row contains column names: Specify heading as column names.
- First row contains data: Specify heading as data. This option is selected by default.
Select any necessary additional options:
- Enable single quotes as a field quotation character: Treat single quote marks (also known as apostrophes) in the data as a character, rather than an enum. This option is not selected by default.
- Delete on done: Check this checkbox to delete the imported data after parsing. This option is selected by default.
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.
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:
- Unknown
- Numeric
- Enum
- Time
- UUID
- String
- Invalid
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.
To navigate the data preview, click the <- Previous page or -> Next page buttons.
After making your selections, click the Parse button.
After you click the Parse button, the code for the current job displays.
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.
The following information displays:
- Type (for example,
Frame
orModel
) - Link to the object
- Description of the job type (for example,
Parse
orGBM
) - Start time
- End time
- Run time
To refresh this information, click the Refresh button. To view the details of the job, click the View button.
Viewing Specific Jobs
To view a specific job, click the link in the “Destination” column.
The following information displays:
- Type (for example,
Frame
) - Link to object (key)
- Description (for example,
Parse
) - Status
- Run time
- Progress
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:
Click the Assist Me! button in the row of buttons below the menus and select buildModel
or
Click the Assist Me! button, select getFrames, then click the Build Model… button below the parsed .hex data set
or
Click the View button after parsing data, then click the Build Model button
or
Click the drop-down Model menu and select the model type from the list
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.
In the Build a Model cell, select an algorithm from the drop-down menu:
- K-means: Create a K-Means model.
- Generalized Linear Model: Create a Generalized Linear model.
- Distributed RF: Create a distributed Random Forest model.
- Naïve Bayes: Create a Naïve Bayes model.
- Principal Component Analysis: Create a Principal Components Analysis model for modeling without regularization or performing dimensionality reduction.
- Gradient Boosting Machine: Create a Gradient Boosted model
- Deep Learning: Create a Deep Learning model.
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.
Model_ID: (Optional) Enter a custom name for the model to use as a reference. By default, H2O automatically generates an ID containing the model type (for example,
gbm-6f6bdc8b-ccbc-474a-b590-4579eea44596
).Training_frame: (Required) Select the dataset used to build the model.
Validation_frame: (Optional) Select the dataset used to evaluate the accuracy of the model.
Ignored_columns: (Optional) Click the checkbox next to a column name to add it to the list of columns excluded from the model. To add all columns, click the Select All button. To remove a column from the list of ignored columns, click the X next to the column name. To remove all columns from the list of ignored columns, click the Deselect All button. To search for a specific column, type the column name in the Search field above the column list. To only show columns with a specific percentage of missing values, specify the percentage in the Only show columns with more than 0% missing values field. To change the selections for the hidden columns, use the Select Visible or Deselect Visible buttons.
User_points: (K-Means, PCA) For K-Means, specify the number of initial cluster centers. For PCA, specify the initial Y matrix.
Note: The PCA User_points parameter should only be used by advanced users for testing purposes.
Transform: (PCA) Select the transformation method for the training data: None, Standardize, Normalize, Demean, or Descale.
Response_column: (Required for GLM, GBM, DL, DRF, Naïve Bayes) Select the column to use as the independent variable.
Solver: (GLM) Select the solver to use (IRLSM, L_BFGS, or auto). IRLSM is fast on on problems with small number of predictors and for lambda-search with L1 penalty, while L_BFGS scales better for datasets with many columns.
Min_rows: (GBM, DRF) Specify the minimum number of observations for a leaf (“nodesize” in R).
Nbins: (GBM, DRF) (Numerical/real/int only) Specify the number of bins for the histogram to build, then split at the best point.
Nbins_cats: (GBM, DRF) (Categorical/enums only) Specify the number of bins for the histogram to build, then split at the best point. Higher values can lead to more overfitting.
R2_stopping: (GBM, DRF) Specify a threshold for the coefficient of determination (r^2) metric value. When this threshold is met or exceeded, H2O stops making trees.
Mtries: (DRF) Specify the columns to randomly select at each level. If the default value of
-1
is used, the number of variables is the square root of the number of columns for classification and p/3 for regression (where p is the number of predictors).Sample_rate: (DRF) Specify the sample rate. The range is 0 to 1.0.
Build_tree_one_node: (DRF, GBM) To run on a single node, check this checkbox. This is suitable for small datasets as there is no network overhead but fewer CPUs are used. The default setting is disabled.
Binomial_double_trees: (DRF) (Binary classification only) Build twice as many trees (one per class). Enabling this option can lead to higher accuracy, while disabling can result in faster model building. This option is enabled by default.
Learn_rate: (GBM) Specify the learning rate. The range is 0.0 to 1.0.
Distribution: (GBM) Select the distribution type from the drop-down list. The options are auto, bernoulli, multinomial, or gaussian.
Loss: (DL) Select the loss function. For DL, the options are Automatic, MeanSquare, CrossEntropy, Huber, or Absolute and the default value is Automatic. Absolute, MeanSquare, and Huber are applicable for regression or classification, while CrossEntropy is only applicable for classification. Huber can improve for regression problems with outliers.
Score_each_iteration: (K-Means, DRF, Naïve Bayes, PCA, GBM, GLM) To score during each iteration of the model training, check this checkbox.
K: (K-Means, PCA) For K-Means, specify the number of clusters. For PCA, specify the rank of matrix approximation.
Gamma: (PCA) Specify the regularization weight for PCA.
Max_iterations: (K-Means, PCA, GLM) Specify the number of training iterations.
Intercept: (GLM) To include a constant term in the model, check this checkbox. This option is selected by default.
Objective_epsilon: (GLM) Specify a threshold for convergence. If the objective value is less than this threshold, the model is converged.
Beta_epsilon: (GLM) Specify the beta epsilon value. If the L1 normalization of the current beta change is below this threshold, consider using convergence.
Gradient_epsilon: (GLM) (For L-BFGS only) Specify a threshold for convergence. If the objective value (using the L-infinity norm) is less than this threshold, the model is converged.
Init: (K-Means, PCA) Select the initialization mode. For K-Means, the options are Furthest, PlusPlus, Random, or User. For PCA, the options are PlusPlus, User, or None.
Note: If PlusPlus is selected, the initial Y matrix is chosen by the final cluster centers from the K-Means PlusPlus algorithm.
Offset_column: (GLM),(DL),(DRF), (GBM) Select a column to use as the offset.
Weights_column: (GLM),(DL),(DRF), (GBM) Select a column to use for the observation weights.
Family: (GLM) Select the model type (Gaussian, Binomial, Poisson, or Gamma).
Activation: (DL) Select the activation function (Tanh, TanhWithDropout, Rectifier, RectifierWithDropout, Maxout, MaxoutWithDropout). The default option is Rectifier.
Hidden: (DL) Specify the hidden layer sizes (e.g., 100,100). For Grid Search, use comma-separated values: (10,10),(20,20,20). The default value is [200,200]. The specified value(s) must be positive.
Epochs: (DL) Specify the number of times to iterate (stream) the dataset. The value can be a fraction.
Variable_importances: (DL) Check this checkbox to compute variable importance. This option is not selected by default.
Laplace: (Naïve Bayes) Specify the Laplace smoothing parameter.
Min_sdev: (Naïve Bayes) Specify the minimum standard deviation to use for observations without enough data.
Eps_sdev: (Naïve Bayes) Specify the threshold for standard deviation. If this threshold is not met, the min_sdev value is used.
Min_prob: (Naïve Bayes) Specify the minimum probability to use for observations without enough data.
Eps_prob: (Naïve Bayes) Specify the threshold for standard deviation. If this threshold is not met, the min_sdev value is used.
Compute_metrics: (Naïve Bayes) To compute metrics on training data, check this checkbox. The Naïve Bayes classifier assumes independence between predictor variables conditional on the response, and a Gaussian distribution of numeric predictors with mean and standard deviation computed from the training dataset. When building a Naïve Bayes classifier, every row in the training dataset that contains at least one NA will be skipped completely. If the test dataset has missing values, then those predictors are omitted in the probability calculation during prediction.
Non-negative: (GLM) To force coefficients to be non-negative, check this checkbox.
Standardize: (K-Means, GLM) To standardize the numeric columns to have mean of zero and unit variance, check this checkbox. Standardization is highly recommended; if you do not use standardization, the results can include components that are dominated by variables that appear to have larger variances relative to other attributes as a matter of scale, rather than true contribution. This option is selected by default.
Beta_constraints: (GLM)To use beta constraints, select a dataset from the drop-down menu. The selected frame is used to constraint the coefficient vector to provide upper and lower bounds.
Advanced Options
Checkpoint: (DL) Enter a model key associated with a previously-trained Deep Learning model. Use this option to build a new model as a continuation of a previously-generated model.
Use_all_factor_levels: (DL) Check this checkbox to use all factor levels in the possible set of predictors; if you enable this option, sufficient regularization is required. By default, the first factor level is skipped. For Deep Learning models, this option is useful for determining variable importances and is automatically enabled if the autoencoder is selected.
Train_samples_per_iteration: (DL) Specify the number of global training samples per MapReduce iteration. To specify one epoch, enter 0. To specify all available data (e.g., replicated training data), enter -1. To use the automatic values, enter -2.
Adaptive_rate: (DL) Check this checkbox to enable the adaptive learning rate (ADADELTA). This option is selected by default. If this option is enabled, the following parameters are ignored:
rate
,rate_decay
,rate_annealing
,momentum_start
,momentum_ramp
,momentum_stable
, andnesterov_accelerated_gradient
.Input_dropout_ratio: (DL) Specify the input layer dropout ratio to improve generalization. Suggested values are 0.1 or 0.2. The range is >= 0 to <1.
L1: (DL) Specify the L1 regularization to add stability and improve generalization; sets the value of many weights to 0.
L2: (DL) Specify the L2 regularization to add stability and improve generalization; sets the value of many weights to smaller values.
Score_interval: (DL) Specify the shortest time interval (in seconds) to wait between model scoring.
Score_training_samples: (DL) Specify the number of training set samples for scoring. To use all training samples, enter 0.
Score_validation_samples: (DL) (Requires selection from the Validation_Frame drop-down list) This option is applicable to classification only. Specify the number of validation set samples for scoring. To use all validation set samples, enter 0.
Score_duty_cycle: (DL) Specify the maximum duty cycle fraction for scoring. A lower value results in more training and a higher value results in more scoring.
Autoencoder: (DL) Check this checkbox to enable the Deep Learning autoencoder. This option is not selected by default.
Note: This option requires a loss function other than CrossEntropy. If this option is enabled, use_all_factor_levels must be enabled.
Balance_classes: (GLM, GBM, DL, Naïve Bayes) Oversample the minority classes to balance the class distribution. This option is not selected by default. This option is only applicable for classification. Majority classes can be undersampled to satisfy the Max_after_balance_size parameter.
Max_confusion_matrix_size: (DRF, Naïve Bayes, GBM) Specify the maximum size (in number of classes) for confusion matrices to be printed in the Logs.
Max_hit_ratio_k: (DRF, Naïve Bayes) Specify the maximum number (top K) of predictions to use for hit ratio computation. Applicable to multi-class only. To disable, enter 0.

… Using Flows
You can use and modify flows in a variety of ways:
- Clips allow you to save single cells
- Outlines display summaries of your workflow
- Flows can be saved, duplicated, loaded, or downloaded
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).
To use a clip in a workflow, click the “Clips” tab in the sidebar on the right.
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.
- To jump to a specific cell, click the cell description.
To delete a cell, select it and press the X key on your keyboard.
Saving Flows
- Finding Saved Flows on your Disk
- Saving Flows on a Hadoop cluster
- Copying Flows
- Downloading Flows
- Loading 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.
To confirm the name, click the checkmark to the right of the name field.
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.
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.
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.
Notes:
- Only exported flows using the default .flow filetype are supported. Other filetypes will not open.
- If the current notebook has the same name as the selected file, a pop-up confirmation appears to confirm that the current notebook should be overwritten.

Data Science Algorithms
This document describes how to define the models and how to interpret the model, as well the algorithm itself, and provides an FAQ.
Commonalities
Missing Value Handling for Training
If missing values are found in the validation frame during model training or during the scoring process for creating predictions, the missing values are automatically imputed.
If the missing values are found during POJO scoring, the answer is converted to NaN
.
K-Means
Introduction
K-Means falls in the general category of clustering algorithms.
Defining a K-Means Model
Model_id: (Optional) Enter a custom name for the model to use as a reference. By default, H2O automatically generates a destination key.
Training_frame: (Required) Select the dataset used to build the model. NOTE: If you click the Build a model button from the
Parse
cell, the training frame is entered automatically.Validation_frame: (Optional) Select the dataset used to evaluate the accuracy of the model.
Ignored_columns: (Optional) Click the checkbox next to a column name to add it to the list of columns excluded from the model. To add all columns, click the Select All button. To remove a column from the list of ignored columns, click the X next to the column name. To remove all columns from the list of ignored columns, click the Deselect All button. To search for a specific column, type the column name in the Search field above the column list. To only show columns with a specific percentage of missing values, specify the percentage in the Only show columns with more than 0% missing values field. To change the selections for the hidden columns, use the Select Visible or Deselect Visible buttons.
Ignore_const_cols: (Optional) Check this checkbox to ignore constant training columns, since no information can be gained from them. This option is selected by default.
K: Specify the number of clusters.
User_points: Specify a vector of initial cluster centers.
Max_iterations: Specify the maximum number of training iterations.
Init: Select the initialization mode. The options are Random, Furthest, PlusPlus, or User. Note: If PlusPlus is selected, the initial Y matrix is chosen by the final cluster centers from the K-Means PlusPlus algorithm.
Score_each_iteration: (Optional) Check this checkbox to score during each iteration of the model training.
Standardize: To standardize the numeric columns to have mean of zero and unit variance, check this checkbox. Standardization is highly recommended; if you do not use standardization, the results can include components that are dominated by variables that appear to have larger variances relative to other attributes as a matter of scale, rather than true contribution. This option is selected by default.
Seed: Specify the random number generator (RNG) seed for algorithm components dependent on randomization. The seed is consistent for each H2O instance so that you can create models with the same starting conditions in alternative configurations.
Interpreting a K-Means Model
By default, the following output displays:
- A graph of the scoring history (number of iterations vs. average within the cluster’s sum of squares)
- Output (model category, validation metrics if applicable, and centers std)
- Model Summary (number of clusters, number of categorical columns, number of iterations, avg. within sum of squares, avg. sum of squares, avg. between the sum of squares)
- Scoring history (number of iterations, avg. change of standardized centroids, avg. within cluster sum of squares)
- Training metrics (model name, checksum name, frame name, frame checksum name, description if applicable, model category, duration in ms, scoring time, predictions, MSE, avg. within sum of squares, avg. between sum of squares)
- Centroid statistics (centroid number, size, within sum of squares)
- Cluster means (centroid number, column)
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
How does the algorithm handle missing values during training?
Missing values are automatically imputed by the column mean.
How does the algorithm handle missing values during testing?
Missing values are automatically imputed by the column mean of the training data.
Does it matter if the data is sorted?
No.
Should data be shuffled before training?
No.
What if there are a large number of columns?
K-Means suffers from the curse of dimensionality: all points are roughly at the same distance from each other in high dimensions, making the algorithm less and less useful.
What if there are a large number of categorical factor levels?
This can be problematic, as categoricals are one-hot encoded on the fly, which can lead to the same problem as datasets with a large number of columns.
K-Means Algorithm
The number of clusters \(K\) is user-defined and is determined a priori.
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.
Calculate the difference between \(m_{1}\) and each of the remaining \(N-1\) observations \(x_{i}\). \(d(x_{i}, m_{1}) = ||(x_{i}-m_{1})||^2\)
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 \(m_{1}\).
Choose the next center \(m_{2}\) by drawing at random according to the weighted probability distribution.
Repeat until \(K\) centers have been chosen.
Furthest
a. Choose one center \(m_{1}\) at random.
Calculate the difference between \(m_{1}\) and each of the remaining \(N-1\) observations \(x_{i}\). \(d(x_{i}, m_{1}) = ||(x_{i}-m_{1})||^2\)
Choose \(m_{2}\) to be the \(x_{i}\) that maximizes \(d(x_{i}, m_{1})\).
Repeat until \(K\) centers have been chosen.
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.
\(d(x_{i}, m_{k})=\) \(\sum_{j=1}^{p}(x_{ij}-m_{k})^2=\) \(\lVert(x_{i}-m_{k})\rVert^2\)
Assign \(x_{i}\) to the cluster \(k\) defined by \(m_{k}\) that minimizes \(d(x_{i}, m_{k})\)
When all observations \(x_{i}\) are assigned to a cluster calculate the mean of the points in the cluster.
\(\bar{x}(k)=\lbrace\bar{x_{i1}},…\bar{x_{ip}}\rbrace\)
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:
- Gaussian regression
- Poisson regression
- Binomial regression
- Gamma regression

Response_column: (Required) Select the column to use as the independent variable.
Offset_column: Select a column to use as the offset.
Weights_column: Select a column to use for the observation weights, which are used for bias correction.
Family: Select the model type (Gaussian, Binomial, Poisson, or Gamma).
Solver: Select the solver to use (IRLSM, L_BFGS, or auto). IRLSM is fast on problems with small number of predictors and for lambda-search with L1 penalty, while L_BFGS scales better for datasets with many columns.
Alpha: Specify the regularization distribution between L2 and L2.
Lambda: Specify the regularization strength.
Lambda_search: Check this checkbox to enable lambda search, starting with lambda max. The given lambda is then interpreted as lambda min.
Standardize: To standardize the numeric columns to have a mean of zero and unit variance, check this checkbox. Standardization is highly recommended; if you do not use standardization, the results can include components that are dominated by variables that appear to have larger variances relative to other attributes as a matter of scale, rather than true contribution. This option is selected by default.
Non-negative: To force coefficients to have non-negative values, check this checkbox.
Beta constraints: To use beta constraints, select a dataset from the drop-down menu. The selected frame is used to constraint the coefficient vector to provide upper and lower bounds.
Score_each_iteration: (Optional) Check this checkbox to score during each iteration of the model training.
Max_iterations: Specify the number of training iterations.
Link: Select a link function (Identity, Family_Default, Logit, Log, or Inverse).
Max_confusion_matrix_size: Specify the maximum size (number of classes) for the confusion matrices printed in the logs.

0
.Intercept: To include a constant term in the model, check this checkbox. This option is selected by default.
Objective_epsilon: Specify a threshold for convergence. If the objective value is less than this threshold, the model is converged.
Beta_epsilon: Specify the beta epsilon value. If the L1 normalization of the current beta change is below this threshold, consider using convergence.
Gradient_epsilon: (For L-BFGS only) Specify a threshold for convergence. If the objective value (using the L-infinity norm) is less than this threshold, the model is converged.
Prior: Specify prior probability for y ==1. Use this parameter for logistic regression if the data has been sampled and the mean of response does not reflect reality.

FAQ
How does the algorithm handle missing values during training?
GLM skips rows with missing values.
How does the algorithm handle missing values during testing?
GLM will predict Double.NaN for rows containg missing values.
What happens if the response has missing values?
It is handled properly, but verify the results are correct.
What happens during prediction if the new sample has categorical levels not seen in training?
It will predict Double.NaN.
Does it matter if the data is sorted?
No.
Should data be shuffled before training?
No.
How does the algorithm handle highly imbalanced data in a response column?
GLM does not require special handling for imbalanced data.
What if there are a large number of columns?
IRLS will get quadratically slower with the number of columns. Try L-BFGS for datasets with more than 5-10 thousand columns.
What if there are a large number of categorical factor levels?
GLM internally one-hot encodes the categorical factor levels; the same limitations as with a high column count will apply.
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.
Defining a DRF Model
Model_id: (Optional) Enter a custom name for the model to use as a reference. By default, H2O automatically generates a destination key.
Training_frame: (Required) Select the dataset used to build the model. NOTE: If you click the Build a model button from the
Parse
cell, the training frame is entered automatically.Validation_frame: (Optional) Select the dataset used to evaluate the accuracy of the model.
Ignored_columns: (Optional) Click the checkbox next to a column name to add it to the list of columns excluded from the model. To add all columns, click the Select All button. To remove a column from the list of ignored columns, click the X next to the column name. To remove all columns from the list of ignored columns, click the Deselect All button. To search for a specific column, type the column name in the Search field above the column list. To only show columns with a specific percentage of missing values, specify the percentage in the Only show columns with more than 0% missing values field. To change the selections for the hidden columns, use the Select Visible or Deselect Visible buttons.
Ignore_const_cols: Check this checkbox to ignore constant training columns, since no information can be gained from them. This option is selected by default.
Response_column: (Required) Select the column to use as the independent variable.
Weights_column: Select a column to use for the observation weights, which are used for bias correction.
Ntrees: Specify the number of trees.
Max_depth: Specify the maximum tree depth.
Min_rows: Specify the minimum number of observations for a leaf (
nodesize
in R).Nbins: (Numerical/real/int only) Specify the number of bins for the histogram to build, then split at the best point.
Nbins_cats: (Categorical/enums only) Specify the number of bins for the histogram to build, then split at the best point. Higher values can lead to more overfitting.
Seed: Specify the random number generator (RNG) seed for algorithm components dependent on randomization. The seed is consistent for each H2O instance so that you can create models with the same starting conditions in alternative configurations.
Mtries: Specify the columns to randomly select at each level. If the default value of
-1
is used, the number of variables is the square root of the number of columns for classification and p/3 for regression (where p is the number of predictors).Sample_rate: Specify the sample rate. The range is 0 to 1.0.
Score_each_iteration: (Optional) Check this checkbox to score during each iteration of the model training.
Balance_classes: Oversample the minority classes to balance the class distribution. This option is not selected by default. This option is only applicable for classification.
Max_confusion_matrix_size: Specify the maximum size (in number of classes) for confusion matrices to be printed in the Logs.
Max_hit_ratio_k: Specify the maximum number (top K) of predictions to use for hit ratio computation. Applicable to multi-class only. To disable, enter 0.
R2_stopping: Specify a threshold for the coefficient of determination (\(r^2\)) metric value. When this threshold is met or exceeded, H2O stops making trees.
Build_tree_one_node: To run on a single node, check this checkbox. This is suitable for small datasets as there is no network overhead but fewer CPUs are used.
Binomial_double_trees: (Binary classification only) Build twice as many trees (one per class). Enabling this option can lead to higher accuracy, while disabling can result in faster model building. This option is enabled by default.
Class_sampling_factors: Specify the per-class (in lexicographical order) over/under-sampling ratios. By default, these ratios are automatically computed during training to obtain the class balance.
Interpreting a DRF Model
By default, the following output displays:
- Model parameters (hidden)

- A graph of the ROC curve (TPR vs. FPR)
- A graph of the variable importances
- Output (model category, validation metrics, initf)

- Training metrics for thresholds (thresholds, F1, F2, F0Points, Accuracy, Precision, Recall, Specificity, Absolute MCC, min. per-class accuracy, TNS, FNS, FPS, TPS, IDX)
- Maximum metrics (metric, threshold, value, IDX)
- Variable importances in tabular format
FAQ
How does the algorithm handle missing values during training?
Missing values do not alter the tree building in any way (i.e., they are not counted as a point when computing means or errors). Rows containing missing values do affect tree building, but the missing values don’t change the split-point of the column they are in.
How does the algorithm handle missing values during testing?
During scoring, missing values “always go left” at any decision point in a tree. Due to dynamic binning in DRF, a row with a missing value typically ends up in the “leftmost bin” - with other outliers.
What happens if the response has missing values?
No errors will occur, but nothing will be learned from rows containing missing the response.
Does it matter if the data is sorted?
No.
Should data be shuffled before training?
No.
How does the algorithm handle highly imbalanced data in a response column?
Specify
balance_classes
,class_sampling_factors
andmax_after_balance_size
to control over/under-sampling.What if there are a large number of columns?
DRFs are best for datasets with fewer than a few thousand columns.
What if there are a large number of categorical factor levels?
Large numbers of categoricals are handled very efficiently - there is never any one-hot encoding.

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.

Response_column: (Required) Select the column to use as the independent variable.
Laplace: Specify the Laplace smoothing parameter.
Min_sdev: Specify the minimum standard deviation to use for observations without enough data.
Eps_sdev: Specify the threshold for standard deviation. If this threshold is not met, the min_sdev value is used.
Min_prob: Specify the minimum probability to use for observations without enough data.
Eps_prob: Specify the threshold for standard deviation. If this threshold is not met, the min_sdev value is used.
Compute_metrics: To compute metrics on training data, check this checkbox. The Naïve Bayes classifier assumes independence between predictor variables conditional on the response, and a Gaussian distribution of numeric predictors with mean and standard deviation computed from the training dataset. When building a Naïve Bayes classifier, every row in the training dataset that contains at least one NA will be skipped completely. If the test dataset has missing values, then those predictors are omitted in the probability calculation during prediction.
Score_each_iteration: (Optional) Check this checkbox to score during each iteration of the model training.
Max_confusion_matrix_size: Specify the maximum size (in number of classes) for confusion matrices to be printed in the Logs.
Max_hit_ratio_k: Specify the maximum number (top K) of predictions to use for hit ratio computation. Applicable to multi-class only. To disable, enter 0.
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:
- Output (model category, model summary, scoring history, training metrics, validation metrics)
- Y-Levels (levels of the response column)
- P-conditionals
FAQ
How does the algorithm handle missing values during training?
All rows with one or more missing values (either in the predictors or the response) will be skipped during model building.
How does the algorithm handle missing values during testing?
If a predictor is missing, it will be skipped when taking the product of conditional probabilities in calculating the joint probability conditional on the response.
What happens if the response domain is different in the training and test datasets?
The response column in the test dataset is not used during scoring, so any response categories absent in the training data will not be predicted.
What happens during prediction if the new sample has categorical levels not seen in training?
The conditional probability of that predictor level will be set according to the Laplace smoothing factor. If Laplace smoothing is disabled (set to zero), the joint probability will be zero. See pgs. 13-14 of Andrew Ng’s “Generative learning algorithms” in the References section for mathematical details.
Does it matter if the data is sorted?
No.
Should data be shuffled before training?
This does not affect model building.
How does the algorithm handle highly imbalanced data in a response column?
Unbalanced data will not affect the model. However, if one response category has very few observations compared to the total, the conditional probability may be very low. A cutoff (
eps_prob
) and minimum value (min_prob
) are available for the user to set a floor on the calculated probability.
What if there are a large number of columns?
More memory will be allocated on each node to store the joint frequency counts and sums.
What if there are a large number of categorical factor levels?
More memory will be allocated on each node to store the joint frequency count of each categorical predictor level with the response’s level.
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.

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.

Use_all_factor_levels: Check this checkbox to use all factor levels in the possible set of predictors; if you enable this option, sufficient regularization is required. By default, the first factor level is skipped. For Deep Learning models, this option is useful for determining variable importances and is automatically enabled if the autoencoder is selected.
Train_samples_per_iteration: Specify the number of global training samples per MapReduce iteration. To specify one epoch, enter 0. To specify all available data (e.g., replicated training data), enter -1. To use the automatic values, enter -2.
Adaptive_rate: Check this checkbox to enable the adaptive learning rate (ADADELTA). This option is selected by default.
Input_dropout_ratio: Specify the input layer dropout ratio to improve generalization. Suggested values are 0.1 or 0.2.
L1: Specify the L1 regularization to add stability and improve generalization; sets the value of many weights to 0.
L2: Specify the L2 regularization to add stability and improve generalization; sets the value of many weights to smaller values.
Loss: Select the loss function. The options are automatic, mean square, cross-entropy, Huber, or Absolute and the default value is automatic.
Score_interval: Specify the shortest time interval (in seconds) to wait between model scoring.
Score_training_samples: Specify the number of training set samples for scoring. To use all training samples, enter 0.
Score_duty_cycle: Specify the maximum duty cycle fraction for scoring. A lower value results in more training and a higher value results in more scoring.
Autoencoder: Check this checkbox to enable the Deep Learning autoencoder. This option is not selected by default. Note: This option requires MeanSquare as the loss function.
Class_sampling_factors: Specify the per-class (in lexicographical order) over/under-sampling ratios. By default, these ratios are automatically computed during training to obtain the class balance.
Overwrite_with_best_model: Check this checkbox to overwrite the final model with the best model found during training. This option is selected by default.
Target_ratio_comm_to_comp: Specify the target ratio of communication overhead to computation. This option is only enabled for multi-node operation and if train_samples_per_iteration equals -2 (auto-tuning).

FAQ
How does the algorithm handle missing values during training?
User-specifiable treatment of missing values via
missing_values_handling
. Specify either the skip or mean-impute option.How does the algorithm handle missing values during testing?
Missing values in the test set will be mean-imputed during scoring.
What happens if the response has missing values?
No errors will occur, but nothing will be learned from rows containing missing the response.
Does it matter if the data is sorted?
Yes, since the training set is processed in order. Depending whether
train_samples_per_iteration
is enabled, some rows will be skipped. Ifshuffle_training_data
is enabled, then each thread that is processing a small subset of rows will process rows randomly, but it is not a global shuffle.Should data be shuffled before training?
Yes, the data should be shuffled before training, especially if the dataset is sorted.
How does the algorithm handle highly imbalanced data in a response column?
Specify
balance_classes
,class_sampling_factors
andmax_after_balance_size
to control over/under-sampling.What if there are a large number of columns?
The input neuron layer’s size is scaled to the number of input features, so as the number of columns increases, the model complexity increases as well.
What if there are a large number of categorical factor levels?
This is something to look out for. Say you have three columns: zip code (70k levels), height, and income. The resulting number of internally one-hot encoded features will be 70,002 and only 3 of them will be activated (non-zero). If the first hidden layer has 200 neurons, then the resulting weight matrix will be of size 70,002 x 200, which can take a long time to train and converge. In this case, we recommend either reducing the number of categorical factor levels upfront (e.g., using h2o.interaction()
from R), or specifying max_categorical_features
to use feature hashing to reduce the dimensionality.

YARN Best Practices
- Using H2O with YARN
- Configuring YARN
- Limiting CPU Usage
- Specifying Queues
- Specifying Output Directories
- Customizing YARN
- Accessing Logs
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.
Click Configuration and enter the following search term in quotes: yarn.nodemanager.resource.memory-mb.
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.
Click the Save Changes button in the upper-right corner.
- Enter the following search term in quotes: yarn.scheduler.maximum-allocation-mb
Change the value, click the Save Changes button in the upper-right corner, and redeploy.
For Hortonworks, configure the settings in Ambari.
- Select YARN, then click the Configs tab.
- Select the group.
In the Node Manager section, enter the amount of memory (in MB) to allocate in the yarn.nodemanager.resource.memory-mb entry field.
In the Scheduler section, enter the amount of memory (in MB)to allocate in the yarn.scheduler.maximum-allocation-mb entry field.
Click the Save button at the bottom of the page and redeploy the cluster.
For MapR:
- Edit the yarn-site.xml file for the node running the ResourceManager.
- Change the values for the
yarn.nodemanager.resource.memory-mb
andyarn.scheduler.maximum-allocation-mb
properties. - 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.
Without Running Jobs
- If you are using Hadoop and the job is not running, view the logs by using the
yarn logs -applicationId
command. When you start an H2O instance, the complete command displays in the output:
jessica@mr-0x8:~/h2o-3.1.0.3008-cdh5.2$ hadoop jar h2odriver.jar -nodes 1 -mapperXmx 6g -output hdfsOutputDirName

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:
- Powerful Python APIs
- Flow, a brand-new intuitive web UI
- The ability to share, annotate, and modify workflows
- Versioned REST APIs with full metadata
- Spark integration using Sparkling Water
- Improved algorithm accuracy and speed
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:
- Cross-validation
- Grid search
- Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
- Cox Proportional Hazards (Cox PH)
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
- h2o.performance
- xval and validation slots
- Principal Components Regression (PCR)
- Saving and Loading Models
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:
h2o.saveModel
h2o.loadModel

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.
Renamed DRF Parameters
The following parameters have been renamed, but retain the same functions:

Deprecated DRF Parameters
The following parameters have been removed:
classification
: This is now automatically inferred from the response type. To achieve classification with a 0/1 response column, explicitly convert the response to a factor (as.factor()
).importance
: Variable importances are now computed automatically and displayed in the model output.holdout.fraction
: Specifying the fraction of the training data to hold out for validation is no longer supported.doGrpSplit
: The bit-set group splitting of categorical variables is now the default.verbose
: Infonrmation about tree splits and extra statistics is now included automatically in the stdout.oobee
: The out-of-bag error estimate is now computed automatically (if no validation set is specified).stat.type
: This parameter was used for SpeeDRF, which is no longer supported.type
: This parameter was used for SpeeDRF, which is no longer supported.
New DRF Parameters
The following parameter has been added:
build_tree_one_node
: Run on a single node to use fewer CPUs.

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.
- Enter
git remote -v
to view a list of your repositories. 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)
- 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.
- Enter
vim .git/config
. Look for the
[remote "origin"]
section:[remote "origin"] url = https://H2O_User@github.com/h2oai/h2o.git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
- In the
url =
line, changeh2o.git
toh2o-2.git
. - 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
.

General Troubleshooting Tips
Confirm your internet connection is active.
Test connectivity using curl: First, log in to the first node and enter
curl http://<Node2IP>:54321
(where<Node2IP>
is the IP address of the second node. Then, log in to the second node and entercurl http://<Node1IP>:54321
(where<Node1IP>
is the IP address of the first node). Look for output from H2O.Try allocating more memory to H2O by modifying the
-Xmx
value when launching H2O from the command line (for example,java -Xmx10g -jar h2o.jar
allocates 10g of memory for H2O). 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.Confirm that no other sessions of H2O are running. To stop all running H2O sessions, enter
ps -efww | grep h2o
in Terminal.- Confirm ports 54321 and 54322 are available for both TCP and UDP.
- Confirm your firewall is not preventing the nodes from locating each other.
- Confirm the nodes are not using different versions of H2O.
- Confirm that the username is the same on all nodes; if not, define the cloud in the terminal when launching using
-name
:java -jar h2o.jar -name myCloud
. - Confirm that the nodes are not on different networks.
- Check if the nodes have different interfaces; if so, use the -network option to define the network (for example,
-network 127.0.0.1
). To use a network range, use a comma to separate the IP addresses (for example,-network 123.45.67.0/22,123.45.68.0/24
). - Force the bind address using
-ip
:java -jar h2o.jar -ip <IP_Address> -port <PortNumber>
. - (Hadoop only) Try launching H2O with a longer timeout:
hadoop jar h2odriver.jar -timeout 1800
- (Hadoop only) Try to launch H2O using more memory:
hadoop jar h2odriver.jar -mapperXmx 10g
. The cluster’s memory capacity is the sum of all H2O nodes in the cluster. - (Linux only) Check if you have SELINUX or IPTABLES enabled; if so, disable them.
- (EC2 only) Check the configuration for the EC2 security group.
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:
- linear regression is used without an intercept (constant)
- non-linear functions are fitted to the data
- predictions compared to the corresponding outcomes are not based on the model-fitting procedure using those data
- it is early in the build process (may self-correct as more trees are added)
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.
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:
Confirm your internet connection is active.
Test connectivity using curl: First, log in to the first node and enter curl http://
:54321 (where is the IP address of the second node. Then, log in to the second node and enter curl http:// :54321 (where is the IP address of the first node). Look for output from H2O. Confirm ports 54321 and 54322 are available for both TCP and UDP.
- Confirm your firewall is not preventing the nodes from locating each other.
- Confirm the nodes are not using different versions of H2O.
- Confirm that the username is the same on all nodes; if not, define the cloud in the terminal when launching using
-name
:java -jar h2o.jar -name myCloud
. - Confirm that the nodes are not on different networks.
- Check if the nodes have different interfaces; if so, use the -network option to define the network (for example,
-network 127.0.0.1
). - Force the bind address using
-ip
:java -jar h2o.jar -ip <IP_Address> -port <PortNumber>
. - (Linux only) Check if you have SELINUX or IPTABLES enabled; if so, disable them.
- (EC2 only) Check the configuration for the EC2 security group.
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:
- The
REST_API
port (54321): Specify when launching H2O using-port
; uses TCP only. - The
INTERNAL_COMMUNICATION
port (54322): Implied based on the port specified as theREST_API
port, +1; requires TCP and UDP.
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
+ Attempting to determine correct address...
10:26:32.284 main WARN WATER: Failed to determine IP, falling back to localhost.
10:26:32.325 main INFO WATER: Internal communication uses port: 54322

/127.0.0.1:54321 but contains [/192.168.1.161:54321, /192.168.1.162:54321]
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.
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:
including the POJO in your execution stream and handing it observations one at a time
or
handing your data in bulk to an H2O cluster, which will score using high throughput parallel and distributed bulk scoring.
How do I predict using multiple response variables?
Currently, H2O does not support multiple response variables. To predict different response variables, build multiple modes.
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?

How does H2O work with Excel?
For more information on how H2O works with Excel, refer to this page.
Hadoop
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.
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:
Using Chrome as your internet browser, open the developer tab while viewing the web UI. As you perform tasks, review the network calls made by Flow.
Write an R program for H2O using the H2O R package that uses
h2o.startLogging()
at the beginning. All REST API calls used are logged.
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:
- Clone the sources from GitHub.
- Start an H2O instance.
- Enter
% cd py
. - 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
.
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.
R
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()
Successfully connected to http://127.0.0.1:54321/

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 (! ("rjson" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))) { install.packages("rjson") }
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/25/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.
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:
Create an additional binary vector holding
1/0
for thein/out
sample (make sure to take this additional vector into account in your computations). This solution is quite cheap, since you do not duplicate data - just create a simple vector in a data walk.or
Create a new frame with the filtered rows. This is a harder task, since you have to copy data. For reference, look at the #deepSlice call on Frame (
H2OFrame
)
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:
Change your default Spark setup in
$SPARK_HOME/conf/spark-defaults.conf
or
Pass
--conf
via spark-submit when you launch your droplet (e.g.,$SPARK_HOME/bin/spark-submit --conf spark.executor.memory=4g --master $MASTER --class org.my.Droplet $TOPDIR/assembly/build/libs/droplet.jar
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.
Tunneling between servers with H2O
To tunnel between servers (for example, due to firewalls):
- Use ssh to log in to the machine where H2O will run.
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:
irene@mr-0x3:~/target$ java -jar h2o.jar -port 55599 04:48:58.053 main INFO WATER: ----- H2O started ----- 04:48:58.055 main INFO WATER: Build git branch: master 04:48:58.055 main INFO WATER: Build git hash: 64fe68c59ced5875ac6bac26a784ce210ef9f7a0 04:48:58.055 main INFO WATER: Build git describe: 64fe68c 04:48:58.055 main INFO WATER: Build project version: 1.7.0.99999 04:48:58.055 main INFO WATER: Built by: 'Irene' 04:48:58.055 main INFO WATER: Built on: 'Wed Sep 4 07:30:45 PDT 2013' 04:48:58.055 main INFO WATER: Java availableProcessors: 4 04:48:58.059 main INFO WATER: Java heap totalMemory: 0.47 gb 04:48:58.059 main INFO WATER: Java heap maxMemory: 6.96 gb 04:48:58.060 main INFO WATER: ICE root: '/tmp' 04:48:58.081 main INFO WATER: Internal communication uses port: 55600 + Listening for HTTP and REST traffic on + http://192.168.1.173:55599/ 04:48:58.109 main INFO WATER: H2O cloud name: 'irene' 04:48:58.109 main INFO WATER: (v1.7.0.99999) 'irene' on /192.168.1.173:55599, discovery address /230 .252.255.19:59132 04:48:58.111 main INFO WATER: Cloud of size 1 formed [/192.168.1.173:55599] 04:48:58.247 main INFO WATER: Log dir: '/tmp/h2ologs'
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
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
