Docling Jobkit
Running a distributed job processing documents with Docling.
How to use it
Local Multiprocessing CLI
The docling-jobkit-multiproc CLI enables parallel batch processing of documents using Python's multiprocessing. Each batch of documents is processed in a separate subprocess, allowing efficient parallel processing on a single machine.
Usage
# Basic usage with default settings (batch_size=10, num_processes=CPU count)
docling-jobkit-multiproc config.yaml
# Custom batch size and number of processes
docling-jobkit-multiproc config.yaml --batch-size 20 --num-processes 4
# With model artifacts
docling-jobkit-multiproc config.yaml --artifacts-path /path/to/models
# Quiet mode (suppress progress bar)
docling-jobkit-multiproc config.yaml --quiet
# Full options
docling-jobkit-multiproc config.yaml \
--batch-size 30 \
--num-processes 8 \
--artifacts-path /path/to/models \
--enable-remote-services \
--allow-external-plugins
Configuration
The configuration file format is the same as docling-jobkit-local. See example configurations:
- S3 source/target:
dev/configs/run_multiproc_s3_example.yaml - Local path source/target:
dev/configs/run_local_folder_example.yaml
Note: Only S3, Google Drive, and local_path sources support batch processing. File and HTTP sources do not support chunking.
CLI Options
--batch-size, -b: Number of documents to process in each batch (default: 10)--num-processes, -n: Number of parallel processes (default: CPU count)--artifacts-path: Path to model artifacts directory--enable-remote-services: Enable models connecting to remote services--allow-external-plugins: Enable loading modules from third-party plugins--quiet, -q: Suppress progress bar and detailed output
Local Sequential CLI
The docling-jobkit-local CLI processes documents sequentially in a single process.
docling-jobkit-local config.yaml
Using Local Path Sources and Targets
Both CLIs support local file system sources and targets. Example configuration:
sources:
- kind: local_path
path: ./input_documents/
recursive: true # optional, default true
pattern: "*.pdf" # optional glob pattern
target:
kind: local_path
path: ./output_documents/
See dev/configs/run_local_folder_example.yaml for a complete example.
