Offline stores

Please see Offline Store for an explanation of offline stores.

File

Description

The File offline store provides support for reading .

Only Parquet files are currently supported.
All data is downloaded and joined using Python and may not scale to production workloads.

Example

Configuration options are available .

BigQuery

Description

The BigQuery offline store provides support for reading BigQuerySources.

BigQuery tables and views are allowed as sources.
All joins happen within BigQuery.
Entity dataframes can be provided as a SQL query or can be provided as a Pandas dataframe. Pandas dataframes will be uploaded to BigQuery in order to complete join operations.
A BigQueryRetrievalJob is returned when calling get_historical_features().

Example

feature_store.yaml

project: my_feature_repo
registry: gs://my-bucket/data/registry.db
provider: gcp
offline_store:
  type: bigquery
  dataset: feast_bq_dataset

Configuration options are available here.

Redshift

Description

The Redshift offline store provides support for reading RedshiftSources.

Redshift tables and views are allowed as sources.
All joins happen within Redshift.
Entity dataframes can be provided as a SQL query or can be provided as a Pandas dataframe. Pandas dataframes will be uploaded to Redshift in order to complete join operations.
A RedshiftRetrievalJob is returned when calling get_historical_features().

Example

feature_store.yaml

project: my_feature_repo
registry: data/registry.db
provider: aws
offline_store:
  type: redshift
  region: us-west-2
  cluster_id: feast-cluster
  database: feast-database
  user: redshift-user
  s3_staging_location: s3://feast-bucket/redshift
  iam_role: arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/redshift_s3_access_role

Configuration options are available here.

Permissions

Feast requires the following permissions in order to execute commands for Redshift offline store:

The following inline policy can be used to grant Feast the necessary permissions:

{
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Action": [
                "s3:ListBucket",
                "s3:PutObject",
                "s3:GetObject",
                "s3:DeleteObject"
            ],
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::<bucket_name>/*",
                "arn:aws:s3:::<bucket_name>"
            ]
        },
        {
            "Action": [
                "redshift-data:DescribeTable",
                "redshift:GetClusterCredentials",
                "redshift-data:ExecuteStatement"
            ],
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:redshift:<region>:<account_id>:dbuser:<redshift_cluster_id>/<redshift_username>",
                "arn:aws:redshift:<region>:<account_id>:dbname:<redshift_cluster_id>/<redshift_database_name>",
                "arn:aws:redshift:<region>:<account_id>:cluster:<redshift_cluster_id>"
            ]
        },
        {
            "Action": [
                "redshift-data:DescribeStatement"
            ],
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ],
    "Version": "2012-10-17"
}

In addition to this, Redshift offline store requires an IAM role that will be used by Redshift itself to interact with S3. More concretely, Redshift has to use this IAM role to run UNLOAD and COPY commands. Once created, this IAM role needs to be configured in feature_store.yaml file as offline_store: iam_role.

The following inline policy can be used to grant Redshift necessary permissions to access S3:

{
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Action": "s3:*",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::feast-integration-tests",
                "arn:aws:s3:::feast-integration-tests/*"
            ]
        }
    ],
    "Version": "2012-10-17"
}

While the following trust relationship is necessary to make sure that Redshift, and only Redshift can assume this role:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "Service": "redshift.amazonaws.com"
      },
      "Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
    }
  ]
}
