Feast CLI reference

Overview

The Feast CLI comes bundled with the Feast Python package. It is immediately available after installing Feast.

Global Options

The Feast CLI provides one global top-level option that can be used with other commands

chdir (-c, --chdir)

This command allows users to run Feast CLI commands in a different folder from the current working directory.

Apply

Creates or updates a feature store deployment

What does Feast apply do?

Feast will scan Python files in your feature repository and find all Feast object definitions, such as feature views, entities, and data sources.
Feast will validate your feature definitions (e.g. for uniqueness of features)
Feast will sync the metadata about Feast objects to the registry. If a registry does not exist, then it will be instantiated. The standard registry is a simple protobuf binary file that is stored on disk (locally or in an object store).

feast apply (when configured to use cloud provider like gcp or aws) will create cloud infrastructure. This may incur costs.

Entities

List all registered entities

Feature views

List all registered feature views

Init

Creates a new feature repository

It's also possible to use other templates

or to set the name of the new project

Materialize

Load data from feature views into the online store between two dates

Load data for specific feature views into the online store between two dates

Materialize incremental

Load data from feature views into the online store, beginning from either the previous materialize or materialize-incremental end date, or the beginning of time.

Teardown

Tear down deployed feature store infrastructure

Print the current Feast version

Feast CLI will create all necessary feature store infrastructure. The exact infrastructure that is deployed or configured depends on the provider configuration that you have set in feature_store.yaml. For example, setting local as your provider will result in a sqlite online store being created.
