To use the h2o engine with tidymodels, please run h2o::h2o.init() first. By default, This connects R to the local h2o server. This needs to be done in every new R session. You can also connect to a remote h2o server with an IP address, for more details see [h2o::h2o.init()].

You can control the number of threads in the thread pool used by h2o with the nthreads argument. By default, it uses all CPUs on the host. This is different from the usual parallel processing mechanism in tidymodels for tuning, while tidymodels parallelizes over resamples, h2o parallelizes over hyperparameter combinations for a given resample.

h2o will automatically shut down the local h2o instance started by R when R is terminated. To manually stop the h2o server, run h2o::h2o.shutdown().
