H2O Module¶

h2o – module for using H2O services.

h2o.connect(server=None, url=None, ip=None, port=None, https=None, verify_ssl_certificates=None, cacert=None, auth=None, proxy=None, cookies=None, verbose=True, config=None)[source]¶

Connect to an existing H2O server, remote or local.

There are two ways to connect to a server: either pass a server parameter containing an instance of an H2OLocalServer, or specify ip and port of the server that you want to connect to.

Parameters

server – An H2OLocalServer instance to connect to (optional).
url – Full URL of the server to connect to (can be used instead of ip + port + https).
ip – The ip address (or host name) of the server where H2O is running.
port – Port number that H2O service is listening to.
https – Set to True to connect via https:// instead of http://.
verify_ssl_certificates – When using https, setting this to False will disable SSL certificates verification.
cacert – Path to a CA bundle file or a directory with certificates of trusted CAs (optional).
auth – Either a (username, password) pair for basic authentication, an instance of h2o.auth.SpnegoAuth or one of the requests.auth authenticator objects.
proxy – Proxy server address.
cookies – Cookie (or list of) to add to request
verbose – Set to False to disable printing connection status messages.
connection_conf – Connection configuration object encapsulating connection parameters.

Returns

the new H2OConnection object.

Examples

>>> import h2o
>>> ipA = "127.0.0.1"
>>> portN = "54321"
>>> urlS = "http://127.0.0.1:54321"
>>> connect_type=h2o.connect(ip=ipA, port=portN, verbose=True)
# or
>>> connect_type2 = h2o.connect(url=urlS, https=True, verbose=True)

h2o.init(url=None, ip=None, port=None, name=None, https=None, cacert=None, insecure=None, username=None, password=None, cookies=None, proxy=None, start_h2o=True, nthreads=-1, ice_root=None, log_dir=None, log_level=None, max_log_file_size=None, enable_assertions=True, max_mem_size=None, min_mem_size=None, strict_version_check=None, ignore_config=False, extra_classpath=None, jvm_custom_args=None, bind_to_localhost=True, **kwargs)[source]¶

Attempt to connect to a local server, or if not successful start a new server and connect to it.

Parameters

url – Full URL of the server to connect to (can be used instead of ip + port + https).
ip – The ip address (or host name) of the server where H2O is running.
port – Port number that H2O service is listening to.
name – Cluster name. If None while connecting to an existing cluster it will not check the cluster name. If set then will connect only if the target cluster name matches. If no instance is found and decides to start a local one then this will be used as the cluster name or a random one will be generated if set to None.
https – Set to True to connect via https:// instead of http://.
cacert – Path to a CA bundle file or a directory with certificates of trusted CAs (optional).
insecure – When using https, setting this to True will disable SSL certificates verification.
username – Username and
password – Password for basic authentication.
cookies – Cookie (or list of) to add to each request.
proxy – Proxy server address.
start_h2o – If False, do not attempt to start an h2o server when connection to an existing one failed.
nthreads – “Number of threads” option when launching a new h2o server.
ice_root – Directory for temporary files for the new h2o server.
log_dir – Directory for H2O logs to be stored if a new instance is started. Ignored if connecting to an existing node.
log_level – The logger level for H2O if a new instance is started. One of TRACE,DEBUG,INFO,WARN,ERRR,FATA. Default is INFO. Ignored if connecting to an existing node.
max_log_file_size – Maximum size of INFO and DEBUG log files. The file is rolled over after a specified size has been reached. (The default is 3MB. Minimum is 1MB and maximum is 99999MB)
enable_assertions – Enable assertions in Java for the new h2o server.
max_mem_size –
Maximum memory to use for the new h2o server. Integer input will be evaluated as gigabytes. Other units can be specified by passing in a string (e.g. “160M” for 160 megabytes).
- Note: If max_mem_size is not defined, then the amount of memory that H2O allocates will be determined by the default memory of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). This amount depends on the Java version, but it will generally be 25% of the machine’s physical memory.
min_mem_size – Minimum memory to use for the new h2o server. Integer input will be evaluated as gigabytes. Other units can be specified by passing in a string (e.g. “160M” for 160 megabytes).
strict_version_check – If True, an error will be raised if the client and server versions don’t match.
ignore_config – Indicates whether a processing of a .h2oconfig file should be conducted or not. Default value is False.
extra_classpath – List of paths to libraries that should be included on the Java classpath when starting H2O from Python.
kwargs – (all other deprecated attributes)
jvm_custom_args – Customer, user-defined argument’s for the JVM H2O is instantiated in. Ignored if there is an instance of H2O already running and the client connects to it.
bind_to_localhost – A flag indicating whether access to the H2O instance should be restricted to the local machine (default) or if it can be reached from other computers on the network.

Examples

>>> import h2o
>>> h2o.init(ip="localhost", port=54323)

h2o.api(endpoint, data=None, json=None, filename=None, save_to=None)[source]¶

Perform a REST API request to a previously connected server.

This function is mostly for internal purposes, but may occasionally be useful for direct access to the backend H2O server. It has same parameters as H2OConnection.request.

Examples

>>> res = h2o.api("GET /3/NetworkTest")
>>> res["table"].show()

h2o.connection()[source]¶

Return the current H2OConnection handler.

Examples

>>> temp = h2o.connection()
>>> temp

h2o.upload_file(path, destination_frame=None, header=0, sep=None, col_names=None, col_types=None, na_strings=None, skipped_columns=None)[source]¶

Upload a dataset from the provided local path to the H2O cluster.

Does a single-threaded push to H2O. Also see import_file().

Parameters

path – A path specifying the location of the data to upload.
destination_frame – The unique hex key assigned to the imported file. If none is given, a key will be automatically generated.
header – -1 means the first line is data, 0 means guess, 1 means first line is header.
sep – The field separator character. Values on each line of the file are separated by this character. If not provided, the parser will automatically detect the separator.
col_names – A list of column names for the file.
col_types –
A list of types or a dictionary of column names to types to specify whether columns should be forced to a certain type upon import parsing. If a list, the types for elements that are one will be guessed. The possible types a column may have are:
- ”unknown” - this will force the column to be parsed as all NA
- ”uuid” - the values in the column must be true UUID or will be parsed as NA
- ”string” - force the column to be parsed as a string
- ”numeric” - force the column to be parsed as numeric. H2O will handle the compression of the numeric data in the optimal manner.
- ”enum” - force the column to be parsed as a categorical column.
- ”time” - force the column to be parsed as a time column. H2O will attempt to parse the following list of date time formats: (date) “yyyy-MM-dd”, “yyyy MM dd”, “dd-MMM-yy”, “dd MMM yy”, (time) “HH:mm:ss”, “HH:mm:ss:SSS”, “HH:mm:ss:SSSnnnnnn”, “HH.mm.ss” “HH.mm.ss.SSS”, “HH.mm.ss.SSSnnnnnn”. Times can also contain “AM” or “PM”.
na_strings – A list of strings, or a list of lists of strings (one list per column), or a dictionary of column names to strings which are to be interpreted as missing values.
skipped_columns – an integer lists of column indices to skip and not parsed into the final frame from the import file.

Returns

a new H2OFrame instance.

Examples

>>> iris_df = h2o.upload_file("~/Desktop/repos/h2o-3/smalldata/iris/iris.csv")

h2o.lazy_import(path, pattern=None)[source]¶

Import a single file or collection of files.

Parameters

path – A path to a data file (remote or local).
pattern – Character string containing a regular expression to match file(s) in the folder.

Returns

either a H2OFrame with the content of the provided file, or a list of such frames if importing multiple files.

Examples

>>> iris = h2o.lazy_import("http://h2o-public-test-data.s3.amazonaws.com/smalldata/iris/iris_wheader.csv")

h2o.import_file(path=None, destination_frame=None, parse=True, header=0, sep=None, col_names=None, col_types=None, na_strings=None, pattern=None, skipped_columns=None, custom_non_data_line_markers=None, partition_by=None)[source]¶

Import a dataset that is already on the cluster.

The path to the data must be a valid path for each node in the H2O cluster. If some node in the H2O cluster cannot see the file, then an exception will be thrown by the H2O cluster. Does a parallel/distributed multi-threaded pull of the data. The main difference between this method and upload_file() is that the latter works with local files, whereas this method imports remote files (i.e. files local to the server). If you running H2O server on your own machine, then both methods behave the same.

Parameters

path – path(s) specifying the location of the data to import or a path to a directory of files to import
destination_frame – The unique hex key assigned to the imported file. If none is given, a key will be automatically generated.
parse – If True, the file should be parsed after import. If False, then a list is returned containing the file path.
header – -1 means the first line is data, 0 means guess, 1 means first line is header.
sep – The field separator character. Values on each line of the file are separated by this character. If not provided, the parser will automatically detect the separator.
col_names – A list of column names for the file.
col_types – A list of types or a dictionary of column names to types to specify whether columns should be forced to a certain type upon import parsing. If a list, the types for elements that are one will be guessed. The possible types a column may have are:

:param partition_by Names of the column the persisted dataset has been partitioned by.

“unknown” - this will force the column to be parsed as all NA

“uuid” - the values in the column must be true UUID or will be parsed as NA

“string” - force the column to be parsed as a string

“numeric” - force the column to be parsed as numeric. H2O will handle the compression of the numeric data in the optimal manner.

“enum” - force the column to be parsed as a categorical column.

“time” - force the column to be parsed as a time column. H2O will attempt to parse the following list of date time formats: (date) “yyyy-MM-dd”, “yyyy MM dd”, “dd-MMM-yy”, “dd MMM yy”, (time) “HH:mm:ss”, “HH:mm:ss:SSS”, “HH:mm:ss:SSSnnnnnn”, “HH.mm.ss” “HH.mm.ss.SSS”, “HH.mm.ss.SSSnnnnnn”. Times can also contain “AM” or “PM”.

Parameters

na_strings – A list of strings, or a list of lists of strings (one list per column), or a dictionary of column names to strings which are to be interpreted as missing values.
pattern – Character string containing a regular expression to match file(s) in the folder if path is a directory.
skipped_columns – an integer list of column indices to skip and not parsed into the final frame from the import file.
custom_non_data_line_markers – If a line in imported file starts with any character in given string it will NOT be imported. Empty string means all lines are imported, None means that default behaviour for given format will be used

Returns

a new H2OFrame instance.

Examples

>>> birds = h2o.import_file("https://s3.amazonaws.com/h2o-public-test-data/smalldata/pca_test/birds.csv")

h2o.import_sql_table(connection_url, table, username, password, columns=None, optimize=True, fetch_mode=None, num_chunks_hint=None)[source]¶

Import SQL table to H2OFrame in memory.

Assumes that the SQL table is not being updated and is stable. Runs multiple SELECT SQL queries concurrently for parallel ingestion. Be sure to start the h2o.jar in the terminal with your downloaded JDBC driver in the classpath:

java -cp <path_to_h2o_jar>:<path_to_jdbc_driver_jar> water.H2OApp

Also see import_sql_select(). Currently supported SQL databases are MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Hive, Oracle and Microsoft SQL.

Parameters

connection_url – URL of the SQL database connection as specified by the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) Driver. For example, “jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/menagerie?&useSSL=false”
table – name of SQL table
columns – a list of column names to import from SQL table. Default is to import all columns.
username – username for SQL server
password – password for SQL server
optimize – DEPRECATED. Ignored - use fetch_mode instead. Optimize import of SQL table for faster imports.
fetch_mode – Set to DISTRIBUTED to enable distributed import. Set to SINGLE to force a sequential read by a single node from the database.
num_chunks_hint – Desired number of chunks for the target Frame.

Returns

an H2OFrame containing data of the specified SQL table.

Examples

>>> conn_url = "jdbc:mysql://172.16.2.178:3306/ingestSQL?&useSSL=false"
>>> table = "citibike20k"
>>> username = "root"
>>> password = "abc123"

h2o.import_sql_select(connection_url, select_query, username, password, optimize=True, use_temp_table=None, temp_table_name=None, fetch_mode=None, num_chunks_hint=None)[source]¶

Import the SQL table that is the result of the specified SQL query to H2OFrame in memory.

Creates a temporary SQL table from the specified sql_query. Runs multiple SELECT SQL queries on the temporary table concurrently for parallel ingestion, then drops the table. Be sure to start the h2o.jar in the terminal with your downloaded JDBC driver in the classpath:

java -cp <path_to_h2o_jar>:<path_to_jdbc_driver_jar> water.H2OApp

Also see h2o.import_sql_table. Currently supported SQL databases are MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Hive, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.

column_names – A list of column names for the file. If skipped_columns are specified, only list column names of columns that are not skipped.
column_types –
A list of types or a dictionary of column names to types to specify whether columns should be forced to a certain type upon import parsing. If a list, the types for elements that are one will be guessed. If skipped_columns are specified, only list column types of columns that are not skipped. The possible types a column may have are:
- ”unknown” - this will force the column to be parsed as all NA
- ”uuid” - the values in the column must be true UUID or will be parsed as NA

h2o.export_file(frame, path, force=False, sep=', ', compression=None, parts=1)[source]¶

Export a given H2OFrame to a path on the machine this python session is currently connected to.

Parameters

frame – the Frame to save to disk.
path – the path to the save point on disk.
force – if True, overwrite any preexisting file with the same path
compression – how to compress the exported dataset (default none; gzip, bzip2 and snappy available)
parts – enables export to multiple ‘part’ files instead of just a single file. Convenient for large datasets that take too long to store in a single file. Use parts=-1 to instruct H2O to determine the optimal number of part files or specify your desired maximum number of part files. Path needs to be a directory when exporting to multiple files, also that directory must be empty. Default is parts = 1, which is to export to a single file.

Examples

>>> h2o_df = h2o.import_file("http://h2o-public-test-data.s3.amazonaws.com/smalldata/prostate/prostate.csv")
>>> h2o_df['CAPSULE'] = h2o_df['CAPSULE'].asfactor()

Create a new frame with random data.

Creates a data frame in H2O with real-valued, categorical, integer, and binary columns specified by the user.

Parameters

frame_id – the destination key. If empty, this will be auto-generated.
rows – the number of rows of data to generate.
cols – the number of columns of data to generate. Excludes the response column if has_response is True.
randomize – If True, data values will be randomly generated. This must be True if either categorical_fraction or integer_fraction is non-zero.
value – if randomize is False, then all real-valued entries will be set to this value.
real_range – the range of randomly generated real values.
real_fraction – the fraction of columns that are real-valued.
categorical_fraction – the fraction of total columns that are categorical.
factors – the number of (unique) factor levels in each categorical column.
integer_fraction – the fraction of total columns that are integer-valued.
integer_range – the range of randomly generated integer values.
binary_fraction – the fraction of total columns that are binary-valued.
binary_ones_fraction – the fraction of values in a binary column that are set to 1.
time_fraction – the fraction of randomly created date/time columns.
string_fraction – the fraction of randomly created string columns.
missing_fraction – the fraction of total entries in the data frame that are set to NA.
has_response – A logical value indicating whether an additional response column should be prepended to the final H2O data frame. If set to True, the total number of columns will be cols + 1.
response_factors – if has_response is True, then this variable controls the type of the “response” column: setting response_factors to 1 will generate real-valued response, any value greater or equal than 2 will create categorical response with that many categories.
positive_reponse – when response variable is present and of real type, this will control whether it contains positive values only, or both positive and negative.
seed – a seed used to generate random values when randomize is True.
seed_for_column_types – a seed used to generate random column types when randomize is True.

Returns

an H2OFrame object

h2o.varimp_heatmap(models, top_n=20, figsize=(16, 9), cluster=True, colormap='RdYlBu_r')[source]¶

Variable Importance Heatmap across a group of models

Variable importance heatmap shows variable importance across multiple models. Some models in H2O return variable importance for one-hot (binary indicator) encoded versions of categorical columns (e.g. Deep Learning, XGBoost). In order for the variable importance of categorical columns to be compared across all model types we compute a summarization of the the variable importance across all one-hot encoded features and return a single variable importance for the original categorical feature. By default, the models and variables are ordered by their similarity.

Parameters

models – H2O AutoML object or list of H2O models
top_n – use just top n models (applies only when used with H2OAutoML)
figsize – figsize: figure size; passed directly to matplotlib
cluster – if True, cluster the models and variables
colormap – colormap to use

Returns
