I am using Ray with Modin to process large dataset in my workflow. Therefore I use modin.pandas.DataFrame & modin.pandas.Series instead of pandas version of the DataFrame & Series in my task’s input params and return values. However, the data serialization error messages I got below suggested that modin.pandas.DataFrame & modin.pandas.Series are not supported by Flyte yet. Am I correct? I think Ray with Modin is an high impact feature since Flyte team wants to support Ray. What will be the process of submitting a Change Request? Thanks.

@Frank Shen, can you confirm which version of flytekit you're running? From the stack trace it looks like this is specific to flytedecks, but those should have been disabled as of flytekit 1.2.3
That doesn't mean we shouldn't support decks for modin dataframes of course, only that this should be tracked separately.

Hi @Eduardo Apolinario (eapolinario), I am using flytekit 1.2.0

Eduardo Apolinario (eapolinario)

11/22/2022, 6:59 PM
ok, can you do one of two things to unblock you. Either: 1. set 
disable_deck=True
in the task definition 2. update to flytekit 1.2.3 and try again?

@Eduardo Apolinario (eapolinario), do you mean modin DataFrame, etc. has already been supported by Flyte?

Seems like we forget to register a renderer in the modin plugin, I’ll create a pr shortly.

@Frank Shen, just want to flag in case it wasn't very clear, but https://docs.flyte.org/projects/cookbook/en/latest/auto/integrations/flytekit_plugins/modin_examples/knn_classifier.html#knn-classifier is an example of using ray and modin.

Oh, I haven’t install flytekitplugins-modin yet. Thanks.
@Kevin Su, @Eduardo Apolinario (eapolinario) installing flytekitplugins-modin causing downgrade of flytekit from 1.2.0 to 0.32.6. What have I done wrong?

Eduardo Apolinario (eapolinario)

@Frank Shen, can you force a version? Something like 
pip install flytekitplugins-modin==1.2.4 flytekit==1.2.4
f

Frank Shen

11/22/2022, 10:11 PM
@Eduardo Apolinario (eapolinario), that won’t work, because we are also using flytekitplugins-snowflake, and flytekitplugins-snowflake requires flytekit<1.2.0 and >=1.1.0b0
Copy code
The conflict is caused by:
    The user requested flytekit>=1.2.3
    flytekitplugins-snowflake 1.1.1 depends on flytekit<1.2.0 and >=1.1.0b0
    The user requested flytekit>=1.2.3
    flytekitplugins-snowflake 1.1.0 depends on flytekit<1.2.0 and >=1.1.0b0

11/22/2022, 10:13 PM
can you also force the snowflake plugin to the same version?
f

Frank Shen

11/22/2022, 10:13 PM
like
Copy code
flytekitplugins-snowflake==1.2.4
?

Eduardo Apolinario (eapolinario)

11/22/2022, 10:13 PM
yeah, something like

f

Frank Shen

11/22/2022, 10:14 PM
I think the highest flytekitplugins-snowflake version is 1.1.1, am I wrong? How could I confirm if flytekitplugins-snowflake 1.2.4 exists?

I see. I will try right now. Thank you @Eduardo Apolinario (eapolinario)!
@Eduardo Apolinario (eapolinario), I have the conflict as shown below. However, it doesn’t make sense to me. Could you tell me where the conflict is? Thanks.
Copy code
The conflict is caused by:
    flytekit 1.2.4 depends on pandas<2.0.0 and >=1.0.0
    modin 0.17.0 depends on pandas==1.5.1
    flytekit 1.2.4 depends on pandas<2.0.0 and >=1.0.0
    modin 0.16.2 depends on pandas==1.5.1
    flytekit 1.2.4 depends on pandas<2.0.0 and >=1.0.0
    modin 0.16.1 depends on pandas==1.5.0
    flytekit 1.2.4 depends on pandas<2.0.0 and >=1.0.0
    modin 0.16.0 depends on pandas==1.5.0
1.0.0 < 1.5.1 < 2.0.0 I don’t see any conflicts.
So I don’t know how to fix.
My requirements.txt is like
Copy code
flytekit==1.2.4
flytekitplugins-snowflake==1.2.4
flytekitplugins-spark==1.2.4
flytekitplugins-modin==1.2.4

is there any way you can use a python version >=3.8 ?

Hi @Eduardo Apolinario (eapolinario), I am having trouble with passing bool input to the workflow at commandline.
Copy code
@workflow
def test_wf_train(use_ray: bool = False)

when I do this at command line, it doesn’t work.
Copy code
pyflyte run tests/test_xgboost.py test_wf_train --use_ray True
Do you know how to work with bool input at workflow level?

You mean

Or I cannot use bool as input?

Kevin Su

11/23/2022, 8:46 PM
yeah. if you use the flag 
use_ray

use_ray
is True

Thanks @Kevin Su
Hi @Kevin Su @Eduardo Apolinario (eapolinario), I installed flytekitplugins.modin as advised. I am using input param use_ray: bool to control when to use Ray & modin DataFrame vs pandas.DataFrame. When use_ray is True, the task will return modin DataFrame, if False, return pandas.DataFrame. Therefore I am defining a task’s return type as -> Union[pd.DataFrame, modin_pd.DataFrame].
Copy code
import flytekitplugins.modin
@task
def preprocess(df: pd.DataFrame,
               use_ray: bool
               ) -> Union[pd.DataFrame, modin_pd.DataFrame]:
    if use_ray:
        ray.init()
        df = modin.pandas.DataFrame(df)
....
However, I still got error:
Copy code
{"asctime": "2022-11-23 13:10:46,651", "name": "flytekit", "levelname": "ERROR", "message": "Failed to convert return value for var o0 with error <class 'TypeError'>: Ambiguous choice of variant for union type"}

I am using flytekit==1.2.4 flytekitplugins-modin==1.2.4
Is this because returning a Union type is not supported?

Seems like modin dataframe can also be serialize to flyte literal by pandas transformer because modin dataframe inherits from pandas dataframe.
I’m working on it
