h2o.xgboost is throwing null pointer exception

Question

I am trying to run h2o.xgboost() in R and was able to use that successfully in 3.14.0.3 version. But, I recently updated to 3.18.0.8 version and I am getting below error. I tried lot of things but was not able to find reason. Any help will be appreciated.

Error:

DistributedException from localhost/127.0.0.1:54321: 'null', caused by java.lang.NullPointerException

Error: DistributedException from localhost/127.0.0.1:54321: 'null', caused by java.lang.NullPointerException

My Code:

my_xgb1 <- h2o.xgboost(x = num_x,
                       y = num_y,
                       training_frame = hex,
                       distribution = "bernoulli",
                       ntrees = 50,
                       max_depth = 3,
                       min_rows = 2,
                       learn_rate = 0.2,
                       nfolds = nfolds,
                       fold_assignment = "Modulo",
                       keep_cross_validation_predictions = TRUE,
                       seed = 1)

Note: Same code works with 3.14.0.3

Curiously, after closing/opening RStudio, the same code has run ok. — RgrNormand, May 08 '18 at 04:38
