H2O Sparkling Water
6/24/2026
This post introduces H2O Sparkling Water, a product that integrates H2O's machine learning algorithms with Apache Spark. It details how Sparkling Water allows users to leverage H2O's distributed ML algorithms (Random Forest, GLM, GBM, XGBoost, GLRM, Word2Vec, etc.) within a Spark environment. Key features include driving computation from Scala, R, and Python, using the H2O Flow UI, and easy deployment of POJOs/MOJOs for scoring. The architecture is described as a regular Spark application that initializes H2O services and accesses data from Spark and H2O structures. Download options for various Spark versions and cloud integrations are provided.
