Backends

The Backends section allows you to configure the Hadoop backend to enable H2O and Sparkling Water clusters and to configure H2O Agent backend to enable Driverless AI servers.

Hadoop Configuration

In order to enable H2O and Sparkling Water clusters in Enterprise Steam, you must enable the Hadoop backend. If you Hadoop cluster is in secure mode (protected by Kerberos), then you will have to provide a keytab that Enterprise Steam will use to submit jobs on Hadoop.

Note: Your Hadoop admin will have to setup impersonation for Steam user. Follow to the Setup Hadoop Impersonation section. You will not be able enable Hadoop backend without it.

   1. Kerberos principal: Enter the full name of the Kerberos principal associated with the keytab.
   2. Kerberos keytab path: Enter the path to the Kerberos keytab on the filesystem.
   3. Custom KRB5_CONFIG PATH: Optionally enter the path to a custom KRB5_CONFIG file.

H2O Agent Configuration

To enable the on-premise deployment backend, download and install the H2O Agent on your servers. The H2O Agent is available here: https://h2o-agent.s3.amazonaws.com/release/0.1.0/index.html. After installing the Agent on your servers, you will be able to add those agents on the H2O Agents page.

Adding an H2O Agent

1. Click Configuration under the H2O Backend section. This opens the H2O Agent page, which shows currently available H2O agents.
2. Click Add Agent.
3. Enter a unique name for the agent.
4. Enter the server hostname for the agent.
5. Enter the H2O agent port. This defaults to 57344.
6. Enter the H2O agent’s API token. This is located at /etc/h2o-agent/secret_token.
7. Click Create when you are done.
