Description

The Redshift offline store provides support for reading RedshiftSources.

• All joins happen within Redshift.

• Entity dataframes can be provided as a SQL query or can be provided as a Pandas dataframe. A Pandas dataframes will be uploaded to Redshift temporarily in order to complete join operations.

Getting started

In order to use this offline store, you'll need to run pip install 'feast[aws]'. You can get started by then running feast init -t aws.

Example

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

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"
    }
  ]
}

Redshift Serverless

In order to use AWS Redshift Serverless, specify a workgroup instead of a cluster_id and user.

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

Please note that the IAM policies above will need the redshift-serverless version, rather than the standard redshift.

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

• export to data lake (S3, GCS, etc.)

• export to data warehouse

• export as Spark dataframe

• local execution of Python-based on-demand transforms

• remote execution of Python-based on-demand transforms

• persist results in the offline store

• preview the query plan before execution (RetrievalJobs are lazily executed)

• read partitioned data

Description

The offline store provides support for reading .

• All joins happen within Snowflake.

• Entity dataframes can be provided as a SQL query or can be provided as a Pandas dataframe. A Pandas dataframes will be uploaded to Snowflake as a temporary table in order to complete join operations.

Getting started

In order to use this offline store, you'll need to run pip install 'feast[snowflake]'.

If you're using a file based registry, then you'll also need to install the relevant cloud extra (pip install 'feast[snowflake, CLOUD]' where CLOUD is one of aws, gcp, azure)

You can get started by then running feast init -t snowflake.
