Client for Kubeflow Model Registry

Project description

Model Registry Python Client

Python License Read the Docs Tutorial Website

This library provides a high level interface for interacting with a model registry server.

Installation

In your Python environment, you can install the latest version of the Model Registry Python client with:

pip install --pre model-registry

Installing extras

Some capabilities of this Model Registry Python client, such as importing model from Hugging Face, require additional dependencies.

By installing an extra variant of this package the additional dependencies will be managed for you automatically, for instance with:

pip install --pre "model-registry[hf]"

This step is not required if you already installed the additional dependencies already, for instance with:

pip install huggingface-hub

Basic usage

Connecting to MR

You can connect to a secure Model Registry using the default constructor (recommended):

from model_registry import ModelRegistry

registry = ModelRegistry("https://server-address", author="Ada Lovelace")  # Defaults to a secure connection via port 443

Or you can set the is_secure flag to False to connect without TLS (not recommended):

registry = ModelRegistry("http://server-address", 8080, author="Ada Lovelace", is_secure=False)  # insecure port set to 8080

Registering models

To register your first model, you can use the register_model method:

model = registry.register_model(
    "my-model",  # model name
    "https://storage-place.my-company.com",  # model URI
    version="2.0.0",
    description="lorem ipsum",
    model_format_name="onnx",
    model_format_version="1",
    storage_key="my-data-connection",
    storage_path="path/to/model",
    metadata={
        # can be one of the following types
        "int_key": 1,
        "bool_key": False,
        "float_key": 3.14,
        "str_key": "str_value",
    }
)

model = registry.get_registered_model("my-model")
print(model)

version = registry.get_model_version("my-model", "2.0.0")
print(version)

experiment = registry.get_model_artifact("my-model", "2.0.0")
print(experiment)

You can also update your models:

# change is not reflected on pushed model version
version.description = "Updated model version"

# you can update it using
registry.update(version)

Importing from S3

When registering models stored on S3-compatible object storage, you should use utils.s3_uri_from to build an unambiguous URI for your artifact.

from model_registry import utils

model = registry.register_model(
    "my-model",  # model name
    uri=utils.s3_uri_from("path/to/model", "my-bucket"),
    version="2.0.0",
    description="lorem ipsum",
    model_format_name="onnx",
    model_format_version="1",
    storage_key="my-data-connection",
    metadata={
        # can be one of the following types
        "int_key": 1,
        "bool_key": False,
        "float_key": 3.14,
        "str_key": "str_value",
    }
)

Importing from Hugging Face Hub

To import models from Hugging Face Hub, start by installing the huggingface-hub package, either directly or as an extra (available as model-registry[hf]). Reference section "installing extras" above for more information.

Models can be imported with

hf_model = registry.register_hf_model(
    "hf-namespace/hf-model",  # HF repo
    "relative/path/to/model/file.onnx",
    version="1.2.3",
    model_name="my-model",
    description="lorem ipsum",
    model_format_name="onnx",
    model_format_version="1",
)

There are caveats to be noted when using this method:

  • It's only possible to import a single model file per Hugging Face Hub repo right now.

Listing models

To list models you can use

for model in registry.get_registered_models():
    ... # your logic using `model` loop variable here

# and versions associated with a model
for version in registry.get_model_versions("my-model"):
    ... # your logic using `version` loop variable here

Advanced usage note: You can also set the page_size() that you want the Pager to use when invoking the Model Registry backend. When using it as an iterator, it will automatically manage pages for you.

Implementation notes

The pager will manage pages for you in order to prevent infinite looping. Currently, the Model Registry backend treats model lists as a circular buffer, and will not end iteration for you.

Development

Common tasks, such as building documentation and running tests, can be executed using nox sessions.

Use nox -l to list sessions and execute them using nox -s [session].

Alternatively, use make install to setup a local Python virtual environment with poetry.

To run the tests you will need docker (or equivalent) and the compose extension command. This is necessary as the test suite will manage a Model Registry server and an MLMD instance to ensure a clean state on each run. You can use make test to execute pytest.

Running Locally on Mac M1 or M2 (arm64 architecture)
