Task Graphs
Any Python/R function can be wrapped in a
Delayed object, making the function executable as a future.Python
R
from tiledb.cloud.compute import Delayed
import numpy
# Wrap numpy median in a delayed object
x = Delayed(numpy.median)
# It can be called like a normal function to set the parameters
# Note at this point the function does not get executed since it
# is of "delayed" type
x([1,2,3,4,5])
# To force execution and get the result call `compute()`
print(x.compute())
library(tiledbcloud)
# Wrap median in a delayed object
x = delayed(median)
# You can set the parameters. Note at this point the function does not
# get executed since it # is of "delayed" type.
delayed_args(x) <- list(c(1,2,3,4,5))
# To force execution and get the result call `compute()`
print(compute(x))
Besides arbitrary Python/R functions, serverless SQL queries and array UDFs can also be called with the delayed API.
Python
R
from tiledb.cloud.compute import DelayedSQL, DelayedArrayUDF
import numpy
# SQL
y = DelayedSQL("select AVG(`a`) FROM `tiledb://TileDB-Inc/quickstart_sparse`")
# Run query
print(y.compute())
# Array
z = DelayedArrayUDF("tiledb://TileDB-Inc/quickstart_sparse",
lambda x: numpy.average(x["a"]))([(1, 4), (1, 4)])
# Run the UDF on the array
z.compute()
library(tiledbcloud)
y = delayed_sql("select AVG(`a`) FROM `tiledb://TileDB-Inc/quickstart_sparse`")
# Run query
print(compute(y))
# Array
z = delayed_array_udf(
"tiledb://TileDB-Inc/quickstart_sparse",
function(x) mean(x[["a"]]),
selectedRanges=list(cbind(1,4), cbind(1,4)),
attrs=c("a")
)
# Run the UDF on the array
print(compute(z))
It is also possible to include a generic Python function as delayed, but have it run locally instead of serverless on TileDB Cloud. This is useful for testing or for saving finalized results to your local machine, e.g., saving an image.
Python
R
from tiledb.cloud.compute import Delayed
import numpy
# Set the `local` argument to `True`
local = Delayed(numpy.median, local=True)([1,2,3])
# This will compute locally
local.compute()
library(tiledbcloud)
# Wrap median in a delayed object
x = delayed(median)
# You can set the parameters. Note at this point the function does not
# get executed since it # is of "delayed" type.
delayed_args(x) <- list(c(1,2,3))
# To force execution and get the result call `compute()`
print(compute(x, force_all_local=TRUE))
Delayed objects can be combined into a task graph, which is typically a directed acyclic graph (DAG). The output from one function or query can be passed into another, and dependencies are automatically determined.
Python
R
from tiledb.cloud.compute import DelayedArrayUDF, Delayed, DelayedSQL
import numpy
# Build several delayed objects to define a graph
# Note that package numpy is aliased as np in the UDFs
local = Delayed(lambda x: x * 2, local=True)(100)
array_apply = DelayedArrayUDF("tiledb://TileDB-Inc/quickstart_sparse",
lambda x: np.sum(x["a"]), name="array_apply")([(1, 4), (1, 4)])
sql = DelayedSQL("select SUM(`a`) as a from `tiledb://TileDB-Inc/quickstart_dense`"), name="sql")
# Custom function for averaging all the results we are passing in
def mean(local, array_apply, sql):
return np.mean([local, array_apply, sql.iloc(0)[0]])
# This is essentially a task graph that looks like
# mean
# / | \
# / | \
# local array_apply sql
#
# The `local`, `array_apply` and `sql` tasks will computed first,
# and once all three are finished, `mean` will computed on their results
res = Delayed(func_exec=mean, name="node_exec")(local, array_apply, sql)
print(res.compute())
library(tiledbcloud)
# Build several delayed objects to define a graph
# Locally executed; simple enough
local = delayed(function(x) { x*2 }, local=TRUE)
delayed_args(local) <- list(100)
# Array UDF -- we specify selected ranges and attributes, then do some R on the
# dataframe which the UDF receives
array_apply <- delayed_array_udf(
array="TileDB-Inc/quickstart_dense",
udf=function(df) { sum(as.vector(df[["a"]])) },
selectedRanges=list(cbind(1,4), cbind(1,4)),
attrs=c("a")
)
# SQL -- note the output is a dataframe, and values are all strings (MariaDB
# "decimal values") so we'll cast them to numeric later
sql = delayed_sql(
"select SUM(`a`) as a from `tiledb://TileDB-Inc/quickstart_dense`",
name="sql"
)
# Custom function for averaging all the results we are passing in
ourmean <- function(local, array_apply, sql) {
mean(c(local, array_apply, sql))
}
# This is essentially a task graph that looks like
# ourmean
# / | \
# / | \
# local array_apply sql
#
# The `local`, `array_apply` and `sql` tasks will computed first,
# and once all three are finished, `ourmean` will computed on their results.
# Note here we slot out the ansswer from the SQL dataframe using `[[...]]`,
# and also cast to numeric.
res <- delayed(ourmean, args=list(local, array_apply, as.numeric(sql[["a"]])))
print(compute(res, verbose=TRUE))
Any task graph created using the delayed API can be visualized with
visualize(). The graph will be auto-updated by default as the computation progresses. If you wish to disable auto-updating, then simply set auto_update=False as a parameter to visualize(). If you are inside a Jupyter notebook, the graph will render as a widget. If you are not on the notebook, you can set notebook=False as a parameter to render in a normal Python window.Python
res.visualize()
If a function fails or you cancel it, you can manually retry the given node with the
.retry method, or retry all failed nodes in a DAG with .retry_all(). Each retry call retries a node once. Python
from tiledb.cloud.compute import Delayed
# Retry one node:
flaky_node = Delayed(flaky_func)(my_data)
final_output = Delayed(process_output)(flaky_node)
data = final_output.compute()
# -> Raises an exception since flaky_node failed.
flaky_node.retry()
data = final_output.result()
# Retry many nodes:
flaky_inputs = [Delayed(flaky_func)(shard) for shard in input_shards]
combined = Delayed(merge_outputs)(flaky_inputs)
combined.compute()
# -> Raises an exception since some of the flaky inputs failed.
combined.dag.retry_all()
combined.dag.wait()
data = combined.result()
There are cases where you might have one function to depend on another without using its results directly. A common case is when one function manipulates data stored somewhere else (on S3 or a database). To facilitate this, we provide function
depends_on.Python
# A few base functions:
import random
from tiledb.cloud.compute import Delayed
# Set three initial nodes
node_1 = Delayed(numpy.median, local=True, name="node_1")([1, 2, 3])
node_2 = Delayed(lambda x: x * 2, local=True, name="node_2")(node_1)
node_3 = Delayed(lambda x: x * 2, local=True, name="node_3")(node_2)
# Create a dictionary to hold the nodes so we can ranodmly pick dependencies
nodes_by_name= {'node_1': node_1, 'node_2': node_2, 'node_3': node_3}
#Function which sleeps for some time so we can see the graph in different states
def f():
import time
import random
time.sleep(random.randrange(0, 30))
return x
# Randomly add 96 other nodes to the graph. All of these will use the sleep function
for i in range(4, 100):
name = "node_{}".format(i)
node = Delayed(f, local=True, name=name)()
dep = random.randrange(1, i-1)
# Randomly set dependency on one other node
node_dep = nodes_by_name["node_{}".format(dep)]
# Force the dependency to be set
node.depends_on(node_dep)
nodes_by_name[name] = node
# You can call visualize on any member node and see the whole graph
node_1.visualize()
# Get the last function's results
node_99 = nodes_by_name["node_99"]
node_99.compute()
The above code, after the call to
node_1.visualize(), produces a task graph similar to that shown below:
A lower level Task Graph API is provided which gives full control of building out arbitrary task graphs.
Python
from tiledb.cloud.dag import dag
import numpy as np
# This is the same implementation which backs `Delayed`, but this interface
# is better suited more advanced use cases where full control is desired.
graph = dag.DAG()
# Define a graph
# Note that package numpy is aliased as np in the UDFs
local = graph.submit(lambda x: x * 2, local=True, 100)
array_apply = graph.submit_array_udf(lambda x: np.sum(x["a"]),
"tiledb://TileDB-Inc/quickstart_sparse",
name="array_apply", ranges=[(1, 4), (1, 4)])
sql = graph.submit_sql("select SUM(`a`) as a from `tiledb://TileDB-Inc/quickstart_dense`"), name="sql")
# Custom function for averaging all the results we are passing in
def mean(local, array_apply, sql):
return np.mean([local, array_apply, sql.iloc(0)[0]])
# This is essentially a task graph that looks like
# mean
# / | \
# / | \
# local array_apply sql
#
# The `local`, `array_apply` and `sql` tasks will computed first,
# and once all three are finished, `mean` will computed on their results
res = graph.submit(func_exec=mean, name="node_exec", local=local, array_apply=array_apply, sql=sql)
graph.compute()
graph.wait()
print(res.result())
If you are a member of an organization, then by default the organization is changed for your Delayed tasks. If you would like to charge the task to yourself, you just need to add one extra argument
namespace. Python
R
import tiledb.cloud
tiledb.cloud.login(username="my_username", password="my_password")
# or tiledb.cloud.login(token="my_token")
res = DelayedSQL("select `rows`, AVG(a) as avg_a from `tiledb://TileDB-Inc/quickstart_dense` GROUP BY `rows`"
namespace ="my_username", # who to charge the query to
)
library (tiledbcloud)
tiledbcloud::login(username="my_username", password="my_password")
# or tiledbcloud::login(token="my_token")
res <- delayed_sql(
query="select `rows`, AVG(a) as avg_a from `tiledb://TileDB-Inc/quickstart_dense` GROUP BY `rows`",
namespace=namespace)
out <- compute(res, namespace) # You can also put the namespace here
str(out)
You can also set who to charge for the entire task graph instead of individual Delayed objects. This is often useful when building a large task graph, to avoid having to set the extra parameter on every object. Taking the example above, you just pass
namespace="my_username" to the compute call.Python
R
import tiledb.cloud.compute
import numpy
# Build several delayed objects to define a graph
local = Delayed(lambda x: x * 2, local=True)(100)
array_apply = DelayedArrayUDF("tiledb://TileDB-Inc/quickstart_sparse",
lambda x: numpy.sum(x["a"]), name="array_apply")([(1, 4), (1, 4)])
sql = DelayedSQL("select SUM(`a`) as a from `tiledb://TileDB-Inc/quickstart_dense`"), name="sql")
# Custom function to use to average all the results we are passing in
def mean(local, array_apply, sql):
import numpy
return numpy.mean([local, array_apply, sql.iloc(0)[0]])
res = Delayed(func_exec=mean, name="node_exec")(local, array_apply, sql)
# Set all tasks to run under your username
print(res.compute(namespace="my_username"))
library(tiledbcloud)
# Build several delayed objects to define a graph
# Locally executed; simple enough
local = delayed(function(x) { x*2 }, local=TRUE)
delayed_args(local) <- list(100)
# Array UDF -- we specify selected ranges and attributes, then do some R on the
# dataframe which the UDF receives
array_apply <- delayed_array_udf(
array="TileDB-Inc/quickstart_dense",
udf=function(df) { sum(as.vector(df[["a"]])) },
selectedRanges=list(cbind(1,4), cbind(1,4)),
attrs=c("a")
)
# SQL -- note the output is a dataframe, and values are all strings (MariaDB
# "decimal values") so we'll cast them to numeric later
sql = delayed_sql(
"select SUM(`a`) as a from `tiledb://TileDB-Inc/quickstart_dense`",
name="sql"
)
# Custom function for averaging all the results we are passing in
ourmean <- function(local, array_apply, sql) {
mean(c(local, array_apply, sql))
}
# This is essentially a task graph that looks like
# ourmean
# / | \
# / | \
# local array_apply sql
#
# The `local`, `array_apply` and `sql` tasks will computed first,
# and once all three are finished, `ourmean` will computed on their results.
# Note here we slot out the ansswer from the SQL dataframe using `[[...]]`,
# and also cast to numeric.
res <- delayed(ourmean, args=list(local, array_apply, as.numeric(sql[["a"]])))
print(compute(res, namespace=namespace, verbose=TRUE))
