Description

The BigQuery offline store provides support for reading .

  • All joins happen within BigQuery.

Entity dataframes can be provided as a SQL query or can be provided as a Pandas dataframe. A Pandas dataframes will be uploaded to BigQuery as a table (marked for expiration) in order to complete join operations.

Overview

hashtag
Functionality

Here are the methods exposed by the OfflineStore interface, along with the core functionality supported by the method:

  • get_historical_features: point-in-time correct join to retrieve historical features

  • pull_latest_from_table_or_query: retrieve latest feature values for materialization into the online store

  • pull_all_from_table_or_query: retrieve a saved dataset

  • offline_write_batch: persist dataframes to the offline store, primarily for push sources

  • write_logged_features: persist logged features to the offline store, for feature logging

The first three of these methods all return a RetrievalJob specific to an offline store, such as a SnowflakeRetrievalJob. Here is a list of functionality supported by RetrievalJobs:

  • export to dataframe

  • export to arrow table

  • export to arrow batches (to handle large datasets in memory)

  • export to SQL

hashtag
Functionality Matrix

There are currently four core offline store implementations: FileOfflineStore, BigQueryOfflineStore, SnowflakeOfflineStore, and RedshiftOfflineStore. There are several additional implementations contributed by the Feast community (PostgreSQLOfflineStore, SparkOfflineStore, and TrinoOfflineStore), which are not guaranteed to be stable or to match the functionality of the core implementations. Details for each specific offline store, such as how to configure it in a feature_store.yaml, can be found .
