delete_keys(keys, online=True, offline=True)¶

Deletes any materialized data that matches the specified join keys from the FeatureView. This method kicks off a job to delete the data in the offline and online stores. If a FeatureView has multiple entities, the full set of join keys must be specified. Only supports Delta offline store and Dynamo online store. (offline_config=DeltaConfig() and online_config left as default) Maximum 10000 keys can be deleted per request.

Parameters

keys (Union[DataFrame, DataFrame]) – The Dataframe to be deleted. Must conform to the FeatureView join keys.
online (bool) – (Optional, default=True) Whether or not to delete from the online store.
offline (bool) – (Optional, default=True) Whether or not to delete from the offline store.

Returns

None if deletion job was created successfully.

deletion_status(verbose=False, limit=1000, sort_columns=None, errors_only=False)¶

Displays information for deletion jobs created with the delete_keys() method, which may include past jobs, scheduled jobs, and job failures.

Parameters

verbose – If set to true, method will display additional low level deletion information, useful for debugging.
limit – Maximum number of jobs to return.
sort_columns – A comma-separated list of column names by which to sort the rows.

Param

errors_only: If set to true, method will only return jobs that failed with an error.

get_feature_dataframe(spine=None, spine_time_key=None, use_materialized_data=True, save=None, save_as=None)¶

Deprecated. Returns a Tecton DataFrame that contains the output Feature Transformation of the Feature View.

Parameters

spine (Union[DataFrame, DataFrame, None]) – (Optional) The spine to join against, as a dataframe. If present, the returned data frame will contain rollups for all (join key, temporal key) combinations that are required to compute a full frame from the spine. If spine is not specified, it’ll return a dataframe with sample feature vectors.
spine_time_key (Optional[str]) – (Optional) Name of the time column in spine. If unspecified, will default to the time column of the spine if there is only one present.
use_materialized_data (bool) – (Optional) Use materialized data if materialization is enabled
save (Optional[bool]) – (Optional) set to True to persist DataFrame as a Dataset object
save_as (Optional[str]) – (Optional) name to save the DataFrame as. Not applicable when save=False. If unspecified and save=True, a name will be generated.

Returns

A Tecton DataFrame.

get_feature_vector(join_keys=None, include_join_keys_in_response=False, request_context_map=None)¶

get_historical_features(spine=None, timestamp_key=None, start_time=None, end_time=None, entities=None, from_source=False, save=False, save_as=None)¶

Returns a Tecton DataFrame of historical values for this feature view. If no arguments are passed in, all feature values for this feature view will be returned in a Tecton DataFrame.

Note: The timestamp_key parameter is only applicable when a spine is passed in. Parameters start_time, end_time, and entities are only applicable when a spine is not passed in.

Parameters

spine (Union[pyspark.sql.DataFrame, pandas.DataFrame, tecton.DataFrame]) – (Optional) The spine to join against, as a dataframe. If present, the returned DataFrame will contain rollups for all (join key, temporal key) combinations that are required to compute a full frame from the spine. To distinguish between spine columns and feature columns, feature columns are labeled as feature_view_name.feature_name in the returned DataFrame. If spine is not specified, it’ll return a DataFrame of feature values in the specified time range.
timestamp_key (str) – (Optional) Name of the time column in the spine. This method will fetch the latest features computed before the specified timestamps in this column. If unspecified, will default to the time column of the spine if there is only one present. If more than one time column is present in the spine, you must specify which column you’d like to use.
start_time (Union[pendulum.DateTime, datetime.datetime]) – (Optional) The interval start time from when we want to retrieve features. If no timezone is specified, will default to using UTC.
end_time (Union[pendulum.DateTime, datetime.datetime]) – (Optional) The interval end time until when we want to retrieve features. If no timezone is specified, will default to using UTC.
entities (Union[pyspark.sql.DataFrame, pandas.DataFrame, tecton.DataFrame]) – (Optional) Filter feature data returned to a set of entity IDs. If specified, this DataFrame should only contain join key columns.
from_source (bool) – (Optional) Whether feature values should be recomputed from the original data source. If False, we will read the materialized values from the offline store.
save (bool) – (Optional) Whether to persist the DataFrame as a Dataset object. Default is False.
save_as (str) – (Optional) Name to save the DataFrame as. If unspecified and save=True, a name will be generated.

run(feature_start_time=None, feature_end_time=None, **mock_inputs)¶

Run the FeatureView on the fly. It supports mock input data, but if mock_inputs is not provided for some features, those inputs will be retrieved from the linked DataSources. In that case, the run may takes several minutes to retrieve the data.

Parameters

feature_start_time (Union[DateTime, datetime, None]) – Start time for the feature. mock_inputs and linked DataSources will be filtered in respect to providing neccessity inputs for this feature time. The output values with timestamps earlier than this will be dropped. If unset, default to feature_end_time minus materialization schedule interval.
feature_end_time (Union[DateTime, datetime, None]) – End time for input data (both data sources, and mock_inputs). mock_inputs and linked DataSources will be filtered in respect to providing neccessity inputs for this feature time. The output values with timestamps later than this will be dropped. If unset, default to datetime now, at the time of a run.
**mock_inputs – If provided, mock_inputs will be used as the FeatureView inputs for the Run, instead of the data from linked DataSources. The name of the parameter(s) must be a valid FeatureView input names.

Examples

A FeatureView ‘fv’ with inputs: ‘ds1’, ‘ds2’.

fv.run() Use inputs from the linked DataSources for both ds1 and ds2. feature_end_time defaults ‘now’, and feature_start_time is set to feature_end_time - batch_schedule.
fv.run(feature_start_time=datetime(2021, 6, 21), feature_end_time=datetime(2021, 6, 22)) feature_start_time and feature_end_time set by users.
fv.run(ds1=mock_dataframe1) Use mock_dataframe1 as input ds1, ds2 from a linked DataSource.
fv.run(ds1=mock_dataframe1, ds2=mock_dataframe2) Use the mock dataframes for both ds1 and ds2.

Returns: A tecton DataFrame of the results.
