In order to work with Spark H2O using rsparkling and sparklyr in R, you must first ensure that you have both sparklyr and rsparkling installed.

Once you've done that, you can check out the working script, the code for testing the Spark context, and the code for launching H2O Flow. All of this information can be found below.

Here is the working script:

library(sparklyr)
> options(rsparkling.sparklingwater.version = “2.1.6”)
> Sys.setenv(SPARK_HOME=’/Users/avkashchauhan/tools/spark-2.1.0-bin-hadoop2.6′)
> library(rsparkling)
> spark_disconnect(sc)
> sc <- spark_connect(master = “local”, version = “2.1.0”)

Here is the code for testing the Spark context:

sc

$app_name

Sparkling Water Context:

* cluster size: 1
* list of used nodes:
(executorId, host, port)
————————
(driver,127.0.0.1,54321)
————————

Open H2O Flow in browser: http://127.0.0.1:54321 (CMD + click in Mac OSX)

Lastly, you can use the following command to launch H2O Flow:

h2o_flow(sc, strict_version_check = FALSE)

That's it — enjoy!
