Description

The file offline store provides support for reading . It uses Dask as the compute engine.

All data is downloaded and joined using Python and therefore may not scale to production workloads.

Example

feature_store.yaml
project: my_feature_repo
registry: data/registry.db
provider: local
offline_store:
  type: file

The full set of configuration options is available in .
