Leveraging H2O Flow to enhance your IDE workflow
H2O Flow is a web-based UI available wherever an H2O cluster is running. Flow is interactive, allowing users to do everything including import data, build models, investigate models, and put models into production. While incredibly easy to use, our experience is that most data scientists (authors included) prefer coding in Python or R to menu-driven interactive interfaces. This section is written for those data scientists: why use Flow when I am a coder?
There are two main reasons:
- Monitoring the state of the H2O cluster and the jobs that are being run
- Interactive investigation of the data, models, model diagnostics, and more where interactivity is an asset rather than an annoyance
Connecting to Flow
By default, Flow is started on port 54321 of the H2O server as the cluster is launched (this port is configurable at startup). Enter Error! Hyperlink reference not valid.
