Sparkling Water provides H2O functionality inside Spark cluster

Sparkling Water

|Join the chat at https://gitter.im/h2oai/sparkling-water| |image2| |image3| |Powered by H2O.ai|

Sparkling Water integrates |H2O|'s fast scalable machine learning engine with Spark. It provides:

  • Utilities to publish Spark data structures (RDDs, DataFrames, Datasets) as H2O's frames and vice versa.
  • DSL to use Spark data structures as input for H2O's algorithms.
  • Basic building blocks to create ML applications utilizing Spark and H2O APIs.
  • Python interface enabling use of Sparkling Water directly from PySpark.

Sparkling Water Requirements
  • Linux/OS X/Windows
  • Java 8+
  • Python 2.7+ for Python version of Sparkling Water (PySparkling) build for Apache Spark 2.2 - 3.0
  • Python 3.6+ for Python version of Sparkling Water (PySparkling) build for Apache Spark 3.1 - 3.2
  • Python 3.7+ for Python version of Sparkling Water (PySparkling) build for Apache Spark 3.3
  • Apache Spark 2.2+ <https://spark.apache.org/downloads.html>__ and SPARK_HOME shell variable must point to your local Spark installation

Use Sparkling Water

Sparkling Water is distributed as a Spark application library which can be used by any Spark application. Furthermore, we provide also zip distribution which bundles the library and shell scripts.

There are several ways of using Sparkling Water:

  • Sparkling Shell
  • Sparkling Water driver
  • Spark Shell and include Sparkling Water library via --jars or --packages option
  • Spark Submit and include Sparkling Water library via --jars or --packages option
  • PySpark with PySparkling

Run Sparkling shell


The Sparkling shell encapsulates a regular Spark shell and append Sparkling Water library on the classpath via ``--jars`` option.
The Sparkling Shell supports creation of an |H2O| cloud and execution of |H2O| algorithms.

1. Either download or build Sparkling Water
2. Configure the location of Spark cluster:

   .. code:: bash

      export SPARK_HOME="/path/to/spark/installation"
      export MASTER="local[*]"


   In this case, ``local[*]`` points to an embedded single node cluster.

3. Run Sparkling Shell:

   .. code:: bash

      bin/sparkling-shell

   Sparkling Shell accepts common Spark Shell arguments. For example, to increase memory allocated by each executor, use the ``spark.executor.memory`` parameter: ``bin/sparkling-shell --conf "spark.executor.memory=4g"``

4. Initialize H2OContext

   .. code:: scala

      import ai.h2o.sparkling._
      val hc = H2OContext.getOrCreate()

   ``H2OContext`` starts H2O services on top of Spark cluster and provides primitives for transformations between |H2O| and Spark data structures.


Use Sparkling Water with PySpark

Sparkling Water can be also used directly from PySpark and the integration is called PySparkling.

See PySparkling README <http://docs.h2o.ai/sparkling-water/3.3/latest-stable/doc/pysparkling.html>__ to learn about PySparkling.

Use Sparkling Water via Spark Packages


To see how Sparkling Water can be used as Spark package, please see `Use as Spark Package <http://docs.h2o.ai/sparkling-water/3.3/latest-stable/doc/tutorials/use_as_spark_package.html>`__.

Use Sparkling Water in Windows environments

Sparkling Water Backends
------------------------

Sparkling water supports two backend/deployment modes - internal and
external. Sparkling Water applications are independent on the selected
backend. The backend can be specified before creation of the
``H2OContext``.

For more details regarding the internal or external backend, please see

Filing Bug Reports and Feature Requests

You can file a bug report of feature request directly in the Sparkling Water JIRA page at http://jira.h2o.ai/ <https://0xdata.atlassian.net/projects/SW/issues>__.

  1. Log in to the Sparkling Water JIRA tracking system. (Create an account if necessary.)

  2. Once inside the home page, click the Create button.

    .. figure:: /doc/src/site/sphinx/images/jira_create.png :alt: center

  3. A form will display allowing you to enter information about the bug or feature request.

    .. figure:: /doc/src/site/sphinx/images/jira_new_issue.png :alt: center

    Enter the following on the form:

    • Select the Project that you want to file the issue under. For example, if this is an open source public bug, you should file it under SW (SW).

    • Specify the Issue Type. For example, if you believe you've found a bug, then select Bug, or if you want to request a new feature, then select New Feature.

    • Provide a short but concise summary about the issue. The summary will be shown when engineers organize, filter, and search for Jira tickets.

    • Specify the urgency of the issue using the Priority dropdown menu.

    • If there is a due date specify it with the Due Date.

    • The Components drop down refers to the API or language that the issue relates to. (See the drop down menu for available options.)

    • You can leave Affects Version/s, Fix Version\s, and Assignee fields blank. Our engineering team will fill this in.

    • Add a detailed description of your bug in the Description section. Best practice for descriptions include:

    • A summary of what the issue is

    • What you think is causing the issue

    • Reproducible code that can be run end to end without requiring an engineer to edit your code. Use {code} {code} around your code to make it appear in code format.

    • Any scripts or necessary documents. Add by dragging and dropping your files into the create issue dialogue box.

    You can be able to leave the rest of the ticket blank.

  4. When you are done with your ticket, simply click on the Create button at the bottom of the page.

    .. figure:: /doc/src/site/sphinx/images/jira_finished_create.png :alt: center

After you click Create, a pop up will appear on the right side of your screen with a link to your Jira ticket. It will have the form https://0xdata.atlassian.net/browse/SW-####. You can use this link to later edit your ticket.

Please note that your Jira ticket number along with its summary will appear in one of the Jira ticket slack channels, and anytime you update the ticket anyone associated with that ticket, whether as the assignee or a watcher will receive an email with your changes.
