H2O.ai Adventures in Artificial Intelligence (ai)

Background

Although I HAVE NOT thought about Artificial Intelligence, ai, since i was a student in Michael Arbib’s class studying for my M.S., when i became aware of H2O.ai.com, i decided it was time to jump in. 🙂

The following will be a chronicle of my adventures. 🙂

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS

Big Data Hadoop vs Apache Spark

Downloads: (H2O vs Sparkling Water)

H2O.ai’s offerings, H2O and Sparkling Water, seemed to pose the question, “What Big Data platform should I choose, Hadoop or Apache Spark?” I have learned that they are not competitors. Katherine Noyes says in Infoworld,

“They do different things. … Hadoop is essentially a distributed data infrastructure … Spark, on the other hand, is a data-processing tool that operates on those distributed data collection”.

OK. But which of H2O.ai’s Downloads, only 2 when i started, should i choose to investigate? I picked Sparkling Water because of a page explaining the ai “Classification” Use Case.

Goal Install & RUN PySparkling

Here’s some notes for PySparkling installation on Windows 10.
Be prepared for (SysAdmin, SysAdmin, … more SysAAdmin)!

Install Apache Spark (to use PySpark)

  • Apache Spark needs to be installed first
    • Downloads\ApacheSpark\spark-1.6.2-bin-hadoop2.6
    • > echo %PYSPARK_PYTHON% == C:\Python27\python.exe
    • Test Run PySpark in the PySpark Shell
    • > cd Downloads\ApacheSpark\spark-1.6.2-bin-hadoop2.6
    • > .\bin\pyspark.cmd
    • Test with QuickStart N.B. Click the Python_Tab
    • RESULT: OK
    • Test Run PySpark as a Self-Contained Application
    • Test with Self-Contained Application N.B. Click the Python_Tab
    • RESULT: NO GOOD –

Self-Contained PySpark RESULT

Here’s the Self-Contained RESULT with NO MODIFICATIONS of the sys.path

"""SimpleApp.py"""
from pyspark import SparkContext

logFile = "YOUR_SPARK_HOME/README.md"  # Should be some file on your system
sc = SparkContext("local", "Simple App")
logData = sc.textFile(logFile).cache()

numAs = logData.filter(lambda s: 'a' in s).count()
numBs = logData.filter(lambda s: 'b' in s).count()

print("Lines with a: %i, lines with b: %i" % (numAs, numBs))
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-1-024ac6cc8be6> in <module>()
      1 """SimpleApp.py"""
----> 2 from pyspark import SparkContext
      3 
      4 logFile = "YOUR_SPARK_HOME/README.md"  # Should be some file on your system
      5 sc = SparkContext("local", "Simple App")

ImportError: No module named pyspark

My Question: Am I missing some secret sauce to set the sys.path?

Answer: I don’t know yet.

Pursuing the Secret, sys.path, Sauce

This morning i went back to my Original Goal, run PySparkling, NOT PySpark, but PySparkling.

  • I found a new download page for Sparkling Water, PySparkling’s Uncle? 🙂
  • I chose my Spark version 1.6 out of [1.4, 1.5, 1.6]
  • Went to the 1.6 Download Page, downloaded Sparkling Water and clicked on the Python Tab which said “Get started with PySparkling”. Hallelulia! 🙂

Get started with PySparkling Steps

  1. Download Spark
    1.1 DONE
  2. Point SPARK_HOME to the existing installation of Spark and export variable MASTER. 
    >echo %SPARK_HOME%
...\Downloads\ApacheSpark\spark-1.6.2-bin-hadoop2.6

>echo %MASTER%
local-cluster[3,2,1024]

>
  3. From your terminal, run: 
    #To start an interactive Python terminal-
bin/pysparkling

PROBLEM: No bin/pysparkling.cmd

BUT sparkling-env.cmd exists

  • Could bin/pysparkling or bin/sparkling-env.cmd contain Secret sys.path Sauce?
  • I Need a break from Sys Admin
  • I Need TO CODE SOMETHING

MORE NEXT TIME! 🙂

TODO – FOLLOWING NEEDS WORK = UNPUBLISHED

PySparkling Installation

N.B. Click the Python_Tab

  • Be careful of your python environment.
  • I am running 2 & 3.
  • PySparkling needs 2.
