H2OOpen-Source In-Memory Data Science Platform

• Highly optimized Java code (in-house) • Distributed in-memory K-V store and map/

reduce computation framework • Data parser (HDFS, S3, NFS, HTTP, local

drives, etc.) • Read/write access to distributed data

frames (R/Pandas-style) • ML algos - Deep Learning, GBM, DRF,

GLM, GLRM, K-Means, PCA, CoxPH, Ensembles

• REST API: clients Interactive UI/R/Python

Sparkling Water

Sparkling WaterProvides

• Transparent integration of H2O into Spark ecosystem

• Use H2O Frames and algorithms with Spark API

Excels in existing Spark workflows requiring advanced Machine Learning algorithms

Key Points to RememberSparkling Water integrates H2O to Spark

• Enables using advanced machine learning algorithms inside Spark workflows

• Offers eager computation model,mutable data structure H2OFrame
