Kaggle Kernel Pipelines

Project description

Kaggle Kernel Pipelines

kernelpipes is a Python 3.x project that supports running a series of Kaggle kernels through the Kaggle API.

Installation

The easiest way to install is via pip and PyPI

pip install kernelpipes

You can also install kernelpipes directly from GitHub. Using a Python Virtual Environment is recommended.

pip install git+https://github.com/neuml/kernelpipes

Python 3.6+ is supported

This package assumes a Kaggle token has been generated and installed. See the kaggle-api API credentials section for more information.

Example

The following YAML script is an example pipeline script. Pipelines require a name and a series of steps to execute.

# Pipeline name
name: CORD-19 Papers

# Pipeline execution steps
steps:
  - kernel: davidmezzetti/cord-19-papers
  - status: 2.5m
  - output: davidmezzetti/cord-19-papers

The above pipeline executes a kernel named cord-19-papers, checking every 2.5 minutes for completion. Once the kernel is complete, output files are downloaded locally.

Below is a more complex example demonstrating scheduling and multiple status steps.

# Pipeline name
name: CORD-19 Pipeline

# Schedule job to run every 15 minutes between 10pm - 12am local time
schedule: "*/15 22-23 * * *"

# Pipeline execution steps
steps:
  - check: allen-institute-for-ai/CORD-19-research-challenge
  - kernel: davidmezzetti/cord-19-article-entry-dates
  - status: 1m
  - kernel: davidmezzetti/cord-19-analysis-with-sentence-embeddings
  - status: 15m
  - kernel: davidmezzetti/cord-19-patient-descriptions
  - kernel: davidmezzetti/cord-19-risk-factors
  - status: 2.5m
  - kernel: davidmezzetti/cord-19-report-builder
  - kernel: davidmezzetti/cord-19-study-metadata-export
  - kernel: davidmezzetti/cord-19-task-csv-exports
  - status: 2.5m

The script above is named "CORD-19 Pipeline" and has a series of sequential steps. Kernel steps will execute a kernel and status steps will poll the status of preceding kernel steps, waiting for completion. For example, the first status command above will run a Status API call every minute checking for completion. If any of the steps return an error status, the pipeline is halted and the program exits.

Kernels are started until they reach a status step. In the example above, the last status call executes cord-19-report-builder, cord-19-study-metadata-export and cord-19-task-csv-exports in parallel and waits for all 3 to complete.

Assuming the YAML file above is stored at pipeline.yml, the pipeline can be executed via:

kernelpipes pipeline.yml

Note: When running on Windows, it may be necessary to set an environment variable to force UTF-8 file operations before running the command above e.g. 'set PYTHONUTF8=1'

Basic pipeline configuration

name

name: <pipeline name>

Required field, names the pipeline

schedule

schedule: cron string

Optional field to enable running jobs through a scheduler. System cron can be used in place of this, depending on preference. One advantage of this method is that new jobs won't be spawned while a prior job is running. For example if a job is scheduled to run every hour and a run takes 1.5 hours, it will skip the 2nd run and start again on the 3rd hour.

Steps

check

check: /kaggle/dataset/path

Allows conditionally running a pipeline based on dataset update status. Retrieves dataset metadata and compares the latest version against the last run version and only allows processing to proceed if the dataset has been updated. If there is no local metadata for the dataset, the run will proceed.

kernel

kernel: /kaggle/kernel/path

Returns the kernel specified at /kaggle/kernel/path

output

output: /kaggle/kernel/path

Downloads kernel output files for the kernel specified at /kaggle/kernel/path

status

status: <seconds|s|m|h>

Checks the status of preceding kernel steps at the specified duration.

Example durations: 10 for 10 seconds, 30s for 30 seconds, 1m for 1 minute and 1h for 1 hour.
