H2O 本地服务器意外死机

Question

I am having a problem reproducing the AutoML tutorial in H2O documentation . After initatiing my h2o local server ( h2o.init() ) I get the following output, which sounds correct:

Checking whether there is an H2O instance running at http://localhost:54321 ..... not found.
Attempting to start a local H2O server...
  Java Version: java version "1.8.0_181"; Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_181-b13); Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.181-b13, mixed mode)

Python_version: 3.8.5 final

Next, I import the datasets as specified by the tutorial:

# Identify predictors and response
x = train.columns
y = "response"
x.remove(y)

# For binary classification, response should be a factor
train[y] = train[y].asfactor()
test[y] = test[y].asfactor()

Finally, I train my AutoML model:

# Run AutoML for 20 base models (limited to 1 hour max runtime by default)
aml = H2OAutoML(max_models=20, seed=1)
aml.train(x=x, y=y, training_frame=train)

That is when it crashes with following message:

AutoML progress: |██Failed polling AutoML progress log: Local server has died unexpectedly. RIP.
Job request failed Local server has died unexpectedly. RIP., will retry after 3s.
Job request failed Local server has died unexpectedly. RIP., will retry after 3s.

Have tried with different datasets, including some sample in case it was a memory issue but with no avail. The error prevails.

Anyone knows what should I do to fix this?

Much appreciated!

Regards.

Answer 1

I think I was able to solve it. After some monitoring with the htop command I think the issue was actually a memory one. I restarted h2o limiting the memory to 1GB and 2 threads (maybe this is not strictly necessary) and I was able to run everything ok, as it seems.

h2o.init(max_mem_size="1G", nthreads=2)

Hope it helps to anyone who stumbles with the same problem.
