coglet 0.19.3

High-performance Rust prediction server for Cog ML models

coglet-python

PyO3 bindings that bridge the Rust coglet library to Python. This crate implements the PredictHandler trait by wrapping Python predictor classes.

Critical Concepts

The active() Flag

import coglet

if coglet.server.active:
    # Running inside worker subprocess
    # stdout/stderr are captured, print goes to slot routing
else:
    # Running in parent or standalone
    # Normal stdout/stderr behavior

Set to True at the start of _run_worker(). Used by user code and cog internals to detect worker context.

Single Async Event Loop

Async predictors run on a single Python asyncio event loop, created at worker startup. All slots share this loop.

Worker Subprocess
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  Tokio Runtime (Rust)                                       │
│  └─ run_worker event loop                                   │
│      └─ For each SlotRequest::Predict:                      │
│          └─ tokio::spawn prediction task                    │
│              └─ Python::attach (acquire GIL)                │
│                  └─ asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe()      │
│                      └─ Predictor.predict() coroutine       │

asyncio event loop (Python)
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  Single event loop, started once at worker init             │
│  - concurrent.futures.Future per async prediction           │
│  - ContextVar propagates prediction_id to spawned tasks     │
│  - Cancellation via future.cancel()                         │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Why single loop?

• Python asyncio has one event loop per thread
• We use run_coroutine_threadsafe to submit from Rust/Tokio
• Multiple slots can have concurrent predictions (up to max_concurrency)

Prediction Execution

Sync Predictors:

SlotRequest::Predict arrives
    │
    ├─▶ Python::attach (acquire GIL)
    ├─▶ set_sync_prediction_id(id)        # For log routing
    ├─▶ predictor.predict(input)          # Blocking call
    ├─▶ set_sync_prediction_id(None)
    └─▶ Return PredictResult

Async Predictors:

SlotRequest::Predict arrives
    │
    ├─▶ Python::attach (acquire GIL)
    ├─▶ Create wrapped coroutine:
    │       async def _ctx_wrapper(coro, prediction_id, contextvar):
    │           contextvar.set(prediction_id)  # Set in this task's context
    │           return await coro
    │
    ├─▶ asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe(wrapper, loop)
    ├─▶ py.detach() (release GIL)
    ├─▶ future.result() (block Rust task, Python runs)
    └─▶ Return PredictResult

STDOUT/STDERR Routing

All output from user code must be captured and routed through the slot socket.

Architecture:

sys.stdout = SlotLogWriter(stdout)
sys.stderr = SlotLogWriter(stderr)

SlotLogWriter.write(data)
    │
    ├─▶ Get current prediction_id from:
    │       1. SYNC_PREDICTION_ID static (for sync predictors)
    │       2. ContextVar (for async predictors/spawned tasks)
    │
    ├─▶ Look up SlotSender in PREDICTION_REGISTRY
    │
    └─▶ Route:
            Found sender → slot_sender.send_log(source, data)
            No sender → Check setup sender (during setup)
            Neither → Log as orphan to stderr

Line Buffering: SlotLogWriter buffers writes until a newline. This coalesces Python's print() which does separate writes for content and \n.

Audit Hook Protection

User code might replace sys.stdout:

sys.stdout = open("mylog.txt", "w")

We can't prevent this, but we can intercept it with a Python audit hook.

Strategy: TeeWriter

User replaces sys.stdout
    │
    ├─▶ Audit hook fires on object.__setattr__(sys, "stdout", value)
    │
    ├─▶ Check: is value already SlotLogWriter? → Allow (it's us)
    │
    ├─▶ Check: is value already TeeWriter? → Allow (already wrapped)
    │
    ├─▶ Create TeeWriter(inner=SlotLogWriter, user_stream=value)
    │
    └─▶ Schedule: sys.stdout = tee (via Timer to avoid recursion)

TeeWriter.write(data)
    │
    ├─▶ inner.write(data)      # Our SlotLogWriter (routing works)
    └─▶ user_stream.write(data) # User's stream (their code works)

Result: Both our log routing AND the user's stream receive the data.

Cancellation

Sync Predictors:

Parent: ControlRequest::Cancel { slot }
    │
    ├─▶ Worker: handler.cancel(slot)
    │       └─▶ Set CANCEL_REQUESTED flag for slot
    │
    ├─▶ Worker: send SIGUSR1 to self
    │
    └─▶ Signal handler: raise KeyboardInterrupt (if in cancelable region)

Prediction code:
    with CancelableGuard():  # Sets CANCELABLE=true
        predictor.predict()  # Can be interrupted
    # CANCELABLE=false on exit

Async Predictors:

Parent: ControlRequest::Cancel { slot }
    │
    └─▶ Worker: handler.cancel(slot)
            │
            ├─▶ Get future from slot state
            └─▶ future.cancel()
                    │
                    └─▶ Python raises asyncio.CancelledError

Setup Log Routing

During setup (before any prediction), logs go through the control channel:

worker_bridge.setup()
    │
    ├─▶ register_setup_sender(tx)  # Control channel sender
    │
    ├─▶ predictor.load() + predictor.setup()
    │       │
    │       └─▶ print("Loading model...")
    │               │
    │               └─▶ SlotLogWriter.write()
    │                       │
    │                       ├─▶ No prediction_id (not in prediction)
    │                       └─▶ get_setup_sender() → ControlResponse::Log
    │
    └─▶ unregister_setup_sender()

Behaviors

Worker Startup:

1. set_active() - Mark as worker subprocess
2. init_tracing() - Configure logging (stderr, COG_LOG_LEVEL env)
3. install_slot_log_writers() - Replace sys.stdout/stderr
4. install_audit_hook() - Protect streams
5. install_signal_handler() - SIGUSR1 for cancellation
6. Read Init message from stdin
7. Connect to slot sockets
8. handler.setup() - Load and initialize predictor
9. Send Ready message
10. Enter event loop

Shutdown:

• ControlRequest::Shutdown → Send ShuttingDown, exit
• stdin closes (parent died) → Exit immediately
• All slots poisoned → Exit

Error Handling:

• SetupError::Load - Failed to import/instantiate predictor
• SetupError::Setup - setup() raised exception
• PredictionError - Prediction failed, slot stays healthy
• Slot write error → Slot poisoned (no more predictions on that slot)
