Wallaroo MLOps API Essentials Guide: Model Registry

How to use the Wallaroo API for Model Registry aka Artifact Registries

Table of Contents

Wallaroo users can register their trained machine learning models from a model registry into their Wallaroo instance and perform inferences with it through a Wallaroo pipeline.

This guide details how to add ML Models from a model registry service into a Wallaroo instance.

Artifact Requirements

Models are uploaded to the Wallaroo instance as the specific artifact - the “file” or other data that represents the file itself. This must comply with the Wallaroo model requirements framework and version or it will not be deployed. Note that for models that fall outside of the supported model types, they can be registered to a Wallaroo workspace as MLFlow 1.30.0 containerized models.

Supported Models

The following frameworks are supported. Frameworks fall under either Native or Containerized runtimes in the Wallaroo engine. For more details, see the specific framework what runtime a specific model framework runs in.

Please note the following.

Wallaroo natively supports Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX) models into the Wallaroo engine.

FrameworkFramework.ONNX aka onnx
RuntimeNative aka onnx

The following ONNX versions models are supported:

Wallaroo VersionONNX VersionONNX IR VersionONNX OPset VersionONNX ML Opset Version
2023.2.1 (July 2023)1.12.18173
2023.2 (May 2023)1.12.18173
2023.1 (March 2023)1.12.18173
2022.4 (December 2022)1.12.18173
After April 2022 until release 2022.4 (December 2022)1.10.*7152
Before April 20221.6.*7132

For the most recent release of Wallaroo 2023.2.1, the following native runtimes are supported:

  • If converting another ML Model to ONNX (PyTorch, XGBoost, etc) using the onnxconverter-common library, the supported DEFAULT_OPSET_NUMBER is 17.

Using different versions or settings outside of these specifications may result in inference issues and other unexpected behavior.

ONNX models always run in the native runtime space.

Data Schemas

ONNX models deployed to Wallaroo have the following data requirements.

  • Equal rows constraint: The number of input rows and output rows must match.
  • All inputs are tensors: The inputs are tensor arrays with the same shape.
  • Data Type Consistency: Data types within each tensor are of the same type.

Equal Rows Constraint

Inference performed through ONNX models are assumed to be in batch format, where each input row corresponds to an output row. This is reflected in the in fields returned for an inference. In the following example, each input row for an inference is related directly to the inference output.

df = pd.read_json('./data/cc_data_1k.df.json')
display(df.head())

result = ccfraud_pipeline.infer(df.head())
display(result)

All Inputs Are Tensors

All inputs into an ONNX model must be tensors. This requires that the shape of each element is the same. For example, the following is a proper input:

t [
    [2.35, 5.75],
    [3.72, 8.55],
    [5.55, 97.2]
]
Standard tensor array

Another example is a 2,2,3 tensor, where the shape of each element is (3,), and each element has 2 rows.

t = [
        [2.35, 5.75, 19.2],
        [3.72, 8.55, 10.5]
    ],
    [
        [5.55, 7.2, 15.7],
        [9.6, 8.2, 2.3]
    ]

In this example each element has a shape of (2,). Tensors with elements of different shapes, known as ragged tensors, are not supported. For example:

t = [
    [2.35, 5.75],
    [3.72, 8.55, 10.5],
    [5.55, 97.2]
])

**INVALID SHAPE**
Ragged tensor array - unsupported

For models that require ragged tensor or other shapes, see other data formatting options such as Bring Your Own Predict models.

Data Type Consistency

All inputs into an ONNX model must have the same internal data type. For example, the following is valid because all of the data types within each element are float32.

t = [
    [2.35, 5.75],
    [3.72, 8.55],
    [5.55, 97.2]
]

The following is invalid, as it mixes floats and strings in each element:

t = [
    [2.35, "Bob"],
    [3.72, "Nancy"],
    [5.55, "Wani"]
]

The following inputs are valid, as each data type is consistent within the elements.

df = pd.DataFrame({
    "t": [
        [2.35, 5.75, 19.2],
        [5.55, 7.2, 15.7],
    ],
    "s": [
        ["Bob", "Nancy", "Wani"],
        ["Jason", "Rita", "Phoebe"]
    ]
})

ParameterDescription
Web Sitehttps://www.tensorflow.org/
Supported Librariestensorflow==2.9.1
FrameworkFramework.TENSORFLOW aka tensorflow
RuntimeNative aka tensorflow
Supported File TypesSavedModel format as .zip file

TensorFlow File Format

TensorFlow models are .zip file of the SavedModel format. For example, the Aloha sample TensorFlow model is stored in the directory alohacnnlstm:

├── saved_model.pb
└── variables
    ├── variables.data-00000-of-00002
    ├── variables.data-00001-of-00002
    └── variables.index

This is compressed into the .zip file alohacnnlstm.zip with the following command:

zip -r alohacnnlstm.zip alohacnnlstm/

ML models that meet the Tensorflow and SavedModel format will run as Wallaroo Native runtimes by default.

See the SavedModel guide for full details.

ParameterDescription
Web Sitehttps://www.python.org/
Supported Librariespython==3.8
FrameworkFramework.PYTHON aka python
RuntimeNative aka python

Python models uploaded to Wallaroo are executed as a native runtime.

Note that Python models - aka “Python steps” - are standalone python scripts that use the python libraries natively supported by the Wallaroo platform. These are used for either simple model deployment (such as ARIMA Statsmodels), or data formatting such as the postprocessing steps. A Wallaroo Python model will be composed of one Python script that matches the Wallaroo requirements.

This is contrasted with Arbitrary Python models, also known as Bring Your Own Predict (BYOP) allow for custom model deployments with supporting scripts and artifacts. These are used with pre-trained models (PyTorch, Tensorflow, etc) along with whatever supporting artifacts they require. Supporting artifacts can include other Python modules, model files, etc. These are zipped with all scripts, artifacts, and a requirements.txt file that indicates what other Python models need to be imported that are outside of the typical Wallaroo platform.

Python Models Requirements

Python models uploaded to Wallaroo are Python scripts that must include the wallaroo_json method as the entry point for the Wallaroo engine to use it as a Pipeline step.

This method receives the results of the previous Pipeline step, and its return value will be used in the next Pipeline step.

If the Python model is the first step in the pipeline, then it will be receiving the inference request data (for example: a preprocessing step). If it is the last step in the pipeline, then it will be the data returned from the inference request.

In the example below, the Python model is used as a post processing step for another ML model. The Python model expects to receive data from a ML Model who’s output is a DataFrame with the column dense_2. It then extracts the values of that column as a list, selects the first element, and returns a DataFrame with that element as the value of the column output.

def wallaroo_json(data: pd.DataFrame):
    print(data)
    return [{"output": [data["dense_2"].to_list()[0][0]]}]

In line with other Wallaroo inference results, the outputs of a Python step that returns a pandas DataFrame or Arrow Table will be listed in the out. metadata, with all inference outputs listed as out.{variable 1}, out.{variable 2}, etc. In the example above, this results the output field as the out.output field in the Wallaroo inference result.

Hugging Face Schemas

Input and output schemas for each Hugging Face pipeline are defined below. Note that adding additional inputs not specified below will raise errors, except for the following:

  • Framework.HUGGING-FACE-IMAGE-TO-TEXT
  • Framework.HUGGING-FACE-TEXT-CLASSIFICATION
  • Framework.HUGGING-FACE-SUMMARIZATION
  • Framework.HUGGING-FACE-TRANSLATION

Additional inputs added to these Hugging Face pipelines will be added as key/pair value arguments to the model’s generate method. If the argument is not required, then the model will default to the values coded in the original Hugging Face model’s source code.

See the Hugging Face Pipeline documentation for more details on each pipeline and framework.

SKLearn Schema Inputs

SKLearn schema follows a different format than other models. To prevent inputs from being out of order, the inputs should be submitted in a single row in the order the model is trained to accept, with all of the data types being the same. For example, the following DataFrame has 4 columns, each column a float.

 sepal length (cm)sepal width (cm)petal length (cm)petal width (cm)
05.13.51.40.2
14.93.01.40.2

For submission to an SKLearn model, the data input schema will be a single array with 4 float values.

input_schema = pa.schema([
    pa.field('inputs', pa.list_(pa.float64(), list_size=4))
])

When submitting as an inference, the DataFrame is converted to rows with the column data expressed as a single array. The data must be in the same order as the model expects, which is why the data is submitted as a single array rather than JSON labeled columns: this insures that the data is submitted in the exact order as the model is trained to accept.

Original DataFrame:

 sepal length (cm)sepal width (cm)petal length (cm)petal width (cm)
05.13.51.40.2
14.93.01.40.2

Converted DataFrame:

 inputs
0[5.1, 3.5, 1.4, 0.2]
1[4.9, 3.0, 1.4, 0.2]

SKLearn Schema Outputs

Outputs for SKLearn that are meant to be predictions or probabilities when output by the model are labeled in the output schema for the model when uploaded to Wallaroo. For example, a model that outputs either 1 or 0 as its output would have the output schema as follows:

output_schema = pa.schema([
    pa.field('predictions', pa.int32())
])

When used in Wallaroo, the inference result is contained in the out metadata as out.predictions.

TensorFlow Keras SavedModel Format

TensorFlow Keras SavedModel models are .zip file of the SavedModel format. For example, the Aloha sample TensorFlow model is stored in the directory alohacnnlstm:

├── saved_model.pb
└── variables
    ├── variables.data-00000-of-00002
    ├── variables.data-00001-of-00002
    └── variables.index

This is compressed into the .zip file alohacnnlstm.zip with the following command:

zip -r alohacnnlstm.zip alohacnnlstm/

See the SavedModel guide for full details.

FrameworkFramework.XGBOOST aka xgboost
Supported File Typespickle (XGB files are not supported.)

XGBoost Schema Inputs

XGBoost schema follows a different format than other models. To prevent inputs from being out of order, the inputs should be submitted in a single row in the order the model is trained to accept, with all of the data types being the same. If a model is originally trained to accept inputs of different data types, it will need to be retrained to only accept one data type for each column - typically pa.float64() is a good choice.

For example, the following DataFrame has 4 columns, each column a float.

 sepal length (cm)sepal width (cm)petal length (cm)petal width (cm)
05.13.51.40.2
14.93.01.40.2

For submission to an XGBoost model, the data input schema will be a single array with 4 float values.

input_schema = pa.schema([
    pa.field('inputs', pa.list_(pa.float64(), list_size=4))
])

When submitting as an inference, the DataFrame is converted to rows with the column data expressed as a single array. The data must be in the same order as the model expects, which is why the data is submitted as a single array rather than JSON labeled columns: this insures that the data is submitted in the exact order as the model is trained to accept.

1[4.9, 3.0, 1.4, 0.2]

XGBoost Schema Outputs

Outputs for XGBoost are labeled based on the trained model outputs. For this example, the output is simply a single output listed as output. In the Wallaroo inference result, it is grouped with the metadata out as out.output.

output_schema = pa.schema([
    pa.field('output', pa.int32())

Supported Librariespython==3.8
FrameworkFramework.CUSTOM aka custom
RuntimeContainerized aka mlflow

Arbitrary Python models, also known as Bring Your Own Predict (BYOP) allow for custom model deployments with supporting scripts and artifacts. These are used with pre-trained models (PyTorch, Tensorflow, etc) along with whatever supporting artifacts they require. Supporting artifacts can include other Python modules, model files, etc. These are zipped with all scripts, artifacts, and a requirements.txt file that indicates what other Python models need to be imported that are outside of the typical Wallaroo platform.

Contrast this with Wallaroo Python models - aka “Python steps”. These are standalone python scripts that use the python libraries natively supported by the Wallaroo platform. These are used for either simple model deployment (such as ARIMA Statsmodels), or data formatting such as the postprocessing steps. A Wallaroo Python model will be composed of one Python script that matches the Wallaroo requirements.

Arbitrary Python File Requirements

Arbitrary Python (BYOP) models are uploaded to Wallaroo via a ZIP file with the following components:

ArtifactTypeDescription
Python scripts aka .py files with classes that extend mac.inference.Inference and mac.inference.creation.InferenceBuilderPython ScriptExtend the classes mac.inference.Inference and mac.inference.creation.InferenceBuilder. These are included with the Wallaroo SDK. Further details are in Arbitrary Python Script Requirements. Note that there is no specified naming requirements for the classes that extend mac.inference.Inference and mac.inference.creation.InferenceBuilder - any qualified class name is sufficient as long as these two classes are extended as defined below.
requirements.txtPython requirements fileThis sets the Python libraries used for the arbitrary python model. These libraries should be targeted for Python 3.8 compliance. These requirements and the versions of libraries should be exactly the same between creating the model and deploying it in Wallaroo. This insures that the script and methods will function exactly the same as during the model creation process.
Other artifactsFilesOther models, files, and other artifacts used in support of this model.

For example, the if the arbitrary python model will be known as vgg_clustering, the contents may be in the following structure, with vgg_clustering as the storage directory:

vgg_clustering\
    feature_extractor.h5
    kmeans.pkl
    custom_inference.py
    requirements.txt

Note the inclusion of the custom_inference.py file. This file name is not required - any Python script or scripts that extend the classes listed above are sufficient. This Python script could have been named vgg_custom_model.py or any other name as long as it includes the extension of the classes listed above.

The sample arbitrary python model file is created with the command zip -r vgg_clustering.zip vgg_clustering/.

Wallaroo Arbitrary Python uses the Wallaroo SDK mac module, included in the Wallaroo SDK 2023.2.1 and above. See the Wallaroo SDK Install Guides for instructions on installing the Wallaroo SDK.

Arbitrary Python Script Requirements

The entry point of the arbitrary python model is any python script that extends the following classes. These are included with the Wallaroo SDK. The required methods that must be overridden are specified in each section below.

  • mac.inference.Inference interface serves model inferences based on submitted input some input. Its purpose is to serve inferences for any supported arbitrary model framework (e.g. scikit, keras etc.).

    classDiagram
        class Inference {
            <<Abstract>>
            +model Optional[Any]
            +expected_model_types()* Set
            +predict(input_data: InferenceData)*  InferenceData

            -raise_error_if_model_is_wrong_type() None
        }
  • mac.inference.creation.InferenceBuilder builds a concrete Inference, i.e. instantiates an Inference object, loads the appropriate model and assigns the model to to the Inference object.

    classDiagram
        class InferenceBuilder {
            +create(config InferenceConfig) * Inference
            -inference()* Any
        }

mac.inference.Inference

mac.inference.Inference Objects
ObjectTypeDescription
model Optional[Any]An optional list of models that match the supported frameworks from wallaroo.framework.Framework included in the arbitrary python script. Note that this is optional - no models are actually required. A BYOP can refer to a specific model(s) used, be used for data processing and reshaping for later pipeline steps, or other needs.
mac.inference.Inference Methods
MethodReturnsDescription
expected_model_types (Required)SetReturns a Set of models expected for the inference as defined by the developer. Typically this is a set of one. Wallaroo checks the expected model types to verify that the model submitted through the InferenceBuilder method matches what this Inference class expects.
_predict (input_data: mac.types.InferenceData) (Required)mac.types.InferenceDataThe entry point for the Wallaroo inference with the following input and output parameters that are defined when the model is updated.
  • mac.types.InferenceData: The input InferenceData is a dictionary of numpy arrays derived from the input_schema detailed when the model is uploaded, defined in PyArrow.Schema format.
  • mac.types.InferenceData: The output is a dictionary of numpy arrays as defined by the output parameters defined in PyArrow.Schema format.
The InferenceDataValidationError exception is raised when the input data does not match mac.types.InferenceData.
raise_error_if_model_is_not_assignedN/AError when expected_model_types is not set.
raise_error_if_model_is_wrong_typeN/AError when the model does not match the expected_model_types.

mac.inference.creation.InferenceBuilder

InferenceBuilder builds a concrete Inference, i.e. instantiates an Inference object, loads the appropriate model and assigns the model to the Inference.

classDiagram
    class InferenceBuilder {
        +create(config InferenceConfig) * Inference
        -inference()* Any
    }

Each model that is included requires its own InferenceBuilder. InferenceBuilder loads one model, then submits it to the Inference class when created. The Inference class checks this class against its expected_model_types() Set.

mac.inference.creation.InferenceBuilder Methods
MethodReturnsDescription
create(config mac.config.inference.CustomInferenceConfig) (Required)The custom Inference instance.Creates an Inference subclass, then assigns a model and attributes. The CustomInferenceConfig is used to retrieve the config.model_path, which is a pathlib.Path object pointing to the folder where the model artifacts are saved. Every artifact loaded must be relative to config.model_path. This is set when the arbitrary python .zip file is uploaded and the environment for running it in Wallaroo is set. For example: loading the artifact vgg_clustering\feature_extractor.h5 would be set with config.model_path \ feature_extractor.h5. The model loaded must match an existing module. For our example, this is from sklearn.cluster import KMeans, and this must match the Inference expected_model_types.
inferencecustom Inference instance.Returns the instantiated custom Inference object created from the create method.

Arbitrary Python Runtime

Arbitrary Python always run in the containerized model runtime.

ParameterDescription
Web Sitehttps://mlflow.org
Supported Librariesmlflow==1.30.0
RuntimeContainerized aka mlflow

For models that do not fall under the supported model frameworks, organizations can use containerized MLFlow ML Models.

This guide details how to add ML Models from a model registry service into Wallaroo.

Wallaroo supports both public and private containerized model registries. See the Wallaroo Private Containerized Model Container Registry Guide for details on how to configure a Wallaroo instance with a private model registry.

Wallaroo users can register their trained MLFlow ML Models from a containerized model container registry into their Wallaroo instance and perform inferences with it through a Wallaroo pipeline.

As of this time, Wallaroo only supports MLFlow 1.30.0 containerized models. For information on how to containerize an MLFlow model, see the MLFlow Documentation.

Wallaroo supports both public and private containerized model registries. See the Wallaroo Private Containerized Model Container Registry Guide for details on how to configure a Wallaroo instance with a private model registry.

Model Registry Operations

The following links to guides and information on setting up a model registry (also known as an artifact registry).

Create Model Registry

See Model serving with Azure Databricks for setting up a model registry service using Azure Databricks.

The following steps create an Access Token used to authenticate to an Azure Databricks Model Registry.

  1. Log into the Azure Databricks workspace.
  2. From the upper right corner access the User Settings.
  3. From the Access tokens, select Generate new token.
  4. Specify any token description and lifetime. Once complete, select Generate.
  5. Copy the token and store in a secure place. Once the Generate New Token module is closed, the token will not be retrievable.
Retrieve Azure Databricks User Token

The MLflow Model Registry provides a method of setting up a model registry service. Full details can be found at the MLflow Registry Quick Start Guide.

A generic MLFlow model registry requires no token.

Wallaroo Registry Operations

  • Connect Model Registry to Wallaroo: This details the link and connection information to a existing MLFlow registry service. Note that this does not create a MLFlow registry service, but adds the connection and credentials to Wallaroo to allow that MLFlow registry service to be used by other entities in the Wallaroo instance.
  • Add a Registry to a Workspace: Add the created Wallaroo Model Registry so make it available to other workspace members.
  • Remove a Registry from a Workspace: Remove the link between a Wallaroo Model Registry and a Wallaroo workspace.

Connect Model Registry to Wallaroo

MLFlow Registry connection information is added to a Wallaroo instance through the following endpoint.

  • REQUEST URL
    • v1/api/models/create_registry
  • PARAMETERS
    • workspace_id (Integer Required): The numerical ID of the workspace to create the registry in.
    • name (String Required): The name for the registry. Registry names are not unique.
    • url (String Required): The full URL of the registry service. For example: https://registry.wallaroo.ai
    • token (String Required): The authentication token used by the registry service.
  • RETURNS
    • id (String): The UUID of the registry.
