5. A New Interpretation of Moore’s Law
“Like the physical universe, the digital universe is large - by 2020 containing nearly as
many digital bits as there are stars in the universe. It is doubling in size every two
years, and by 2020 the digital universe - the data we create and copy annually - will
reach 44 zettabytes, or 44 trillion gigabytes.”

16. What do our customers say about us?
"The platform can generate Jar files to deploy models into production. This
alone is a milestone!" - Hassan Namarvar, ShareThis
“I have to give credit to H2O. They have a very complete way of showing which
algorithm is the best.” – Nachum Shacham, Paypal
“I analyzed 1 million rows training set, fitting a logistic regression with elastic
penalty, and doing a grid search on parameters with 10-fold cross validation for
each parameter combination… doing this analysis was a breeze… orders of
magnitude faster than R.” - Antonio Molins, Netflix
“Never have we had such a quick, simple, scalable and cost effective
deployment solution for predictive modeling.” – Lou Carvalheira, Cisco

flight data to predict delays of flights
arriving to Chicago O’Hare
International Airport”

30. Example Outline
Load & Parse CSV data from 2 data sources
Use Spark API to filter data, do SQL query for join
Create a regression model
Use model for delay prediction
Plot residual plot from R

32. Download
http://0xdata.com/download/

33. Install and Launch
Unpack zip file
and
Point SPARK_HOME to your Spark installation
and
Launch h2o-examples/sparkling-shell

34. What is Sparkling Shell?
Standard spark-shell
With additional Sparkling Water classes
export MASTER=“local-cluster[3,2,1024]”
spark-shell
—-jars sparkling-water.jar
JAR containing
Sparkling
Water
Spark Master
address

35. Lets play with Sparkling
shell…

36. Create H2O Client
import org.apache.spark.h2o._
import org.apache.spark.examples.h2o._
val h2oContext = new H2OContext(sc).start(3)
import h2oContext._
Regular Spark context
provided by Spark shell

37. Is Spark Running?
Go to http://localhost:4040

38. Is H2O running?
http://localhost:54321/steam/index.html

39. Load Data #1
Load weather data into RDD
val weatherDataFile =
“examples/smalldata/weather.csv"
val wrawdata = sc.textFile(weatherDataFile,3)
.cache()
val weatherTable = wrawdata
.map(_.split(“,"))
.map(row => WeatherParse(row))
.filter(!_.isWrongRow())
Regular Spark API
Ad-hoc Parser

40. Weather Data
case class Weather( val Year : Option[Int],
val Month : Option[Int],
val Day : Option[Int],
val TmaxF : Option[Int], // Max temperatur in F
val TminF : Option[Int], // Min temperatur in F
val TmeanF : Option[Float], // Mean temperatur in F
val PrcpIn : Option[Float], // Precipitation (inches)
val SnowIn : Option[Float], // Snow (inches)
val CDD : Option[Float], // Cooling Degree Day
val HDD : Option[Float], // Heating Degree Day
val GDD : Option[Float]) // Growing Degree Day
Simple POSO to hold one row of weather data

41. Load Data #2
Load flights data into H2O frame
import java.io.File
val dataFile =
“examples/smalldata/allyears2k_headers.csv.gz"
val airlinesData = new DataFrame(new File(dataFile))

42. Where is the data?
Go to http://localhost:54321/steam/index.html

43. Use Spark API for Data
Filtering
// Create RDD wrapper around DataFrame
val airlinesTable : RDD[Airlines]
= toRDD[Airlines](airlinesData)
// And use Spark RDD API directly
val flightsToORD = airlinesTable
.filter( f => f.Dest == Some(“ORD") )
Create a cheap wrapper
around H2O DataFrame
Regular Spark
RDD call

44. Use Spark SQL to Data Join
import org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext
// We need to create SQL context
val sqlContext = new SQLContext(sc)
import sqlContext._
flightsToORD.registerTempTable("FlightsToORD")
weatherTable.registerTempTable("WeatherORD")

45. Join Data based on Flight Date
val bigTable = sql(
"""SELECT
| f.Year,f.Month,f.DayofMonth,
| f.CRSDepTime,f.CRSArrTime,f.CRSElapsedTime,
| f.UniqueCarrier,f.FlightNum,f.TailNum,
| f.Origin,f.Distance,
| w.TmaxF,w.TminF,w.TmeanF,
| w.PrcpIn,w.SnowIn,w.CDD,w.HDD,w.GDD,
| f.ArrDelay
| FROM FlightsToORD f
| JOIN WeatherORD w
| ON f.Year=w.Year AND f.Month=w.Month
| AND f.DayofMonth=w.Day""".stripMargin)

46. Launch H2O Algorithms
import hex.deeplearning._
import hex.deeplearning.DeepLearningModel
.DeepLearningParameters
// Setup deep learning parameters
val dlParams = new DeepLearningParameters()
dlParams._train = bigTable
dlParams._response_column = 'ArrDelay
dlParams._classification = false
// Create a new model builder
val dl = new DeepLearning(dlParams)
val dlModel = dl.train.get
Result of
SQL query
Blocking call

47. Make a prediction
// Use model to score data
val prediction = dlModel.score(result)(‘predict)
// Collect predicted values via RDD API
val predictionValues = toRDD[DoubleHolder](prediction)
.collect
.map ( _.result.getOrElse("NaN") )

48. Generate Residuals Plot
# Import H2O library and initialize H2O client
library(h2o)
h = h2o.init()
# Fetch prediction and actual data, use remembered keys
pred = h2o.getFrame(h, "dframe_b5f449d0c04ee75fda1b9bc865b14a69")
act = h2o.getFrame (h, "frame_rdd_14_b429e8b43d2d8c02899ccb61b72c4e57")
# Select right columns
predDelay = pred$predict
actDelay = act$ArrDelay
# Make sure that number of rows is same
nrow(actDelay) == nrow(predDelay)
# Compute residuals
residuals = predDelay - actDelay
# Plot residuals
compare = cbind(
as.data.frame(actDelay$ArrDelay),
as.data.frame(residuals$predict))
plot( compare[,1:2] )
