Redis

Description

The Redis online store provides support for materializing feature values into Redis.
  • Both Redis and Redis Cluster are supported.
  • The data model used to store feature values in Redis is described in more detail here.

Getting started

In order to use this online store, you'll need to install the redis extra (along with the dependency needed for the offline store of choice). E.g.
  • pip install 'feast[gcp, redis]'
  • pip install 'feast[snowflake, redis]'
  • pip install 'feast[aws, redis]'
  • pip install 'feast[azure, redis]'
You can get started by using any of the other templates (e.g. feast init -t gcp or feast init -t snowflake or feast init -t aws), and then swapping in Redis as the online store as seen below in the examples.

Examples

Connecting to a single Redis instance:
feature_store.yaml
project: my_feature_repo
registry: data/registry.db
provider: local
online_store:
type: redis
connection_string: "localhost:6379"
Connecting to a Redis Cluster with SSL enabled and password authentication:
feature_store.yaml
project: my_feature_repo
registry: data/registry.db
provider: local
online_store:
type: redis
redis_type: redis_cluster
connection_string: "redis1:6379,redis2:6379,ssl=true,password=my_password"
Additionally, the redis online store also supports automatically deleting data via a TTL mechanism. The TTL is applied at the entity level, so feature values from any associated feature views for an entity are removed together. This TTL can be set in the feature_store.yaml, using the key_ttl_seconds field in the online store. For example:
feature_store.yaml
project: my_feature_repo
registry: data/registry.db
provider: local
online_store:
type: redis
key_ttl_seconds: 604800
connection_string: "localhost:6379"
The full set of configuration options is available in RedisOnlineStoreConfig.
