Anyone have any experience adding caching to

map_task

? I've tried by adding the caching stuff to the

@task

decorator and in the "mapification" like this:

map_task(my_task)(input=input).with_overrides(cache=True, cache_version="1.0")

but I'm not seeing in the flyte console the little swirly that indicates the task either wrote to or read from the cache. Is caching a map task supported?

Hi @Thomas Addison, great question. map tasks do support caching. We have been doing a lot of work recently to update the UI visualizations of map tasks. I know that the caching visualizations should be working. What version of Flyte are you currently running?

we're running 0.19.4 i think

Oh OK perfect. Thanks for looking a bit deeper at this! @Nastya Rusina can you confirm that a version update would pick up everything necessary to display map task cache writes / hits in the UI?

I believe it will. But let me check it locally first. I will get back with answer here shortly :)

awesome, thanks for looking into it. looking forward to when we upgrade console to see that cool cache swirly

I’m sorry @Thomas Addison it looks like I misled you. Further investigation showed that we don’t see swirly thing on caching tasks when perform them locally. The new issue was created to fix it: #514 We currently looking at it more deeply. Sorry again for confusion 🙇‍♀️

cool! ty!
