External library integrations (tune.integration)

Docker (tune.integration.docker)

ray.tune.integration.docker.DockerSyncer(local_dir: str, remote_dir: str, sync_client: Optional[ray.tune.sync_client.SyncClient] = None)[source]

DockerSyncer used for synchronization between Docker containers. This syncer extends the node syncer, but is usually instantiated without a custom sync client. The sync client defaults to DockerSyncClient instead.

Set the env var TUNE_SYNCER_VERBOSITY to increase verbosity of syncing operations (0, 1, 2, 3). Defaults to 0.

Note

This syncer only works with the Ray cluster launcher. If you use your own Docker setup, make sure the nodes can connect to each other via SSH, and try the regular SSH-based syncer instead.

Example:

from ray.tune.integration.docker import DockerSyncer
tune.run(train,
         sync_config=tune.SyncConfig(
             syncer=DockerSyncer))

Keras (tune.integration.keras)

class ray.tune.integration.keras.TuneReportCallback(*args, **kw)[source]

Keras to Ray Tune reporting callback

Reports metrics to Ray Tune.

Parameters

  • metrics (str|list|dict) – Metrics to report to Tune. If this is a list, each item describes the metric key reported to Keras, and it will reported under the same name to Tune. If this is a dict, each key will be the name reported to Tune and the respective value will be the metric key reported to Keras. If this is None, all Keras logs will be reported.

  • on (str|list) – When to trigger checkpoint creations. Must be one of the Keras event hooks (less the on_), e.g. “train_start”, or “predict_end”. Defaults to “epoch_end”.

Example:

from ray.tune.integration.keras import TuneReportCallback

# Report accuracy to Tune after each epoch:
model.fit(
    x_train,
    y_train,
    batch_size=batch_size,
    epochs=epochs,
    verbose=0,
    validation_data=(x_test, y_test),
    callbacks=[TuneReportCallback(
        {"mean_accuracy": "accuracy"}, on="epoch_end")])
class ray.tune.integration.keras.TuneReportCheckpointCallback(*args, **kw)[source]

Keras report and checkpoint callback

Saves checkpoints after each validation step. Also reports metrics to Tune, which is needed for checkpoint registration.

Use this callback to register saved checkpoints with Ray Tune. This means that checkpoints will be manages by the CheckpointManager and can be used for advanced scheduling and search algorithms, like Population Based Training.

The tf.keras.callbacks.ModelCheckpoint callback also saves checkpoints, but doesn’t register them with Ray Tune.

Parameters

  • metrics (str|list|dict) – Metrics to report to Tune. If this is a list, each item describes the metric key reported to Keras, and it will reported under the same name to Tune. If this is a dict, each key will be the name reported to Tune and the respective value will be the metric key reported to Keras. If this is None, all Keras logs will be reported.

  • filename (str) – Filename of the checkpoint within the checkpoint directory. Defaults to “checkpoint”.

  • frequency (int|list) – Checkpoint frequency. If this is an integer n, checkpoints are saved every n times each hook was called. If this is a list, it specifies the checkpoint frequencies for each hook individually.

  • on (str|list) – When to trigger checkpoint creations. Must be one of the Keras event hooks (less the on_), e.g. “train_start”, or “predict_end”. Defaults to “epoch_end”.

Example:

from ray.tune.integration.keras import TuneReportCheckpointCallback

# Save checkpoint and report accuracy to Tune after each epoch:
model.fit(
    x_train,
    y_train,
    batch_size=batch_size,
    epochs=epochs,
    verbose=0,
    validation_data=(x_test, y_test),
    callbacks=[TuneReportCheckpointCallback(
        metrics={"mean_accuracy": "accuracy"},
        filename="model",
        on="epoch_end")])

Kubernetes (tune.integration.kubernetes)

ray.tune.integration.kubernetes.NamespacedKubernetesSyncer(namespace)[source]

Wrapper to return a KubernetesSyncer for a Kubernetes namespace.

Parameters

namespace (str) – Kubernetes namespace.

Returns

A KubernetesSyncer class to be passed to tune.run().

Example:

from ray.tune.integration.kubernetes import NamespacedKubernetesSyncer
tune.run(train,
         sync_config=tune.SyncConfig(
             syncer=NamespacedKubernetesSyncer("ray")))

MLflow (tune.integration.mlflow)

See also here.

class ray.tune.integration.mlflow.MLflowLoggerCallback(tracking_uri: Optional[str] = None, registry_uri: Optional[str] = None, experiment_name: Optional[str] = None, tags: Optional[Dict] = None, save_artifact: bool = False)[source]

MLflow Logger to automatically log Tune results and config to MLflow.

MLflow (https://mlflow.org) Tracking is an open source library for recording and querying experiments. This Ray Tune LoggerCallback sends information (config parameters, training results & metrics, and artifacts) to MLflow for automatic experiment tracking.

Parameters

  • tracking_uri (str) – The tracking URI for where to manage experiments and runs. This can either be a local file path or a remote server. This arg gets passed directly to mlflow initialization. When using Tune in a multi-node setting, make sure to set this to a remote server and not a local file path.

  • registry_uri (str) – The registry URI that gets passed directly to mlflow initialization.

  • experiment_name (str) – The experiment name to use for this Tune run. If the experiment with the name already exists with MLflow, it will be reused. If not, a new experiment will be created with that name.

  • tags (Dict) – An optional dictionary of string keys and values to set as tags on the run

  • save_artifact (bool) – If set to True, automatically save the entire contents of the Tune local_dir as an artifact to the corresponding run in MlFlow.

Example:

from ray.tune.integration.mlflow import MLflowLoggerCallback

tags = { "user_name" : "John",
         "git_commit_hash" : "abc123"}

tune.run(
    train_fn,
    config={
        # define search space here
        "parameter_1": tune.choice([1, 2, 3]),
        "parameter_2": tune.choice([4, 5, 6]),
    },
    callbacks=[MLflowLoggerCallback(
        experiment_name="experiment1",
        tags=tags,
        save_artifact=True)])
ray.tune.integration.mlflow.mlflow_mixin(func: Callable)[source]

MLflow (https://mlflow.org) Tracking is an open source library for recording and querying experiments. This Ray Tune Trainable mixin helps initialize the MLflow API for use with the Trainable class or the @mlflow_mixin function API. This mixin automatically configures MLflow and creates a run in the same process as each Tune trial. You can then use the mlflow API inside the your training function and it will automatically get reported to the correct run.

For basic usage, just prepend your training function with the @mlflow_mixin decorator:

from ray.tune.integration.mlflow import mlflow_mixin

@mlflow_mixin
def train_fn(config):
    ...
    mlflow.log_metric(...)

You can also use MlFlow’s autologging feature if using a training framework like Pytorch Lightning, XGBoost, etc. More information can be found here (https://mlflow.org/docs/latest/tracking.html#automatic-logging).

from ray.tune.integration.mlflow import mlflow_mixin

@mlflow_mixin
def train_fn(config):
    mlflow.autolog()
    xgboost_results = xgb.train(config, ...)

The MlFlow configuration is done by passing a mlflow key to the config parameter of tune.run() (see example below).

The content of the mlflow config entry is used to configure MlFlow. Here are the keys you can pass in to this config entry:

Parameters

  • tracking_uri (str) – The tracking URI for MLflow tracking. If using Tune in a multi-node setting, make sure to use a remote server for tracking.

  • experiment_id (str) – The id of an already created MLflow experiment. All logs from all trials in tune.run will be reported to this experiment. If this is not provided or the experiment with this id does not exist, you must provide an``experiment_name``. This parameter takes precedence over experiment_name.

  • experiment_name (str) – The name of an already existing MLflow experiment. All logs from all trials in tune.run will be reported to this experiment. If this is not provided, you must provide a valid experiment_id.

  • token (optional, str) – A token to use for HTTP authentication when logging to a remote tracking server. This is useful when you want to log to a Databricks server, for example. This value will be used to set the MLFLOW_TRACKING_TOKEN environment variable on all the remote training processes.

Example:

from ray import tune
from ray.tune.integration.mlflow import mlflow_mixin

import mlflow

# Create the MlFlow expriment.
mlflow.create_experiment("my_experiment")

@mlflow_mixin
def train_fn(config):
    for i in range(10):
        loss = config["a"] + config["b"]
        mlflow.log_metric(key="loss", value=loss)
    tune.report(loss=loss, done=True)

tune.run(
    train_fn,
    config={
        # define search space here
        "a": tune.choice([1, 2, 3]),
        "b": tune.choice([4, 5, 6]),
        # mlflow configuration
        "mlflow": {
            "experiment_name": "my_experiment",
            "tracking_uri": mlflow.get_tracking_uri()
        }
    })

Creates a class that executes distributed training.

Similar to running torch.distributed.launch.

Note that you typically should not instantiate the object created.

Parameters

  • func (callable) – This function is a Tune trainable function. This function must have 2 args in the signature, and the latter arg must contain checkpoint_dir. For example: func(config, checkpoint_dir=None).

  • num_workers (int) – Number of training workers to include in world.

  • num_cpus_per_worker (int) – Number of CPU resources to reserve per training worker.

  • num_gpus_per_worker (int) – Number of GPU resources to reserve per training worker.

  • num_workers_per_host – Optional[int]: Number of workers to colocate per host.

  • backend (str) – One of “gloo”, “nccl”.

  • timeout_s (float) – Seconds before the torch process group times out. Useful when machines are unreliable. Defaults to 1800 seconds. This value is also reused for triggering placement timeouts if forcing colocation.

Returns

A trainable class object that can be passed to Tune. Resources are automatically set within the object, so users do not need to set resources_per_trainable.

Return type

type(Trainable)

Example:

trainable_cls = DistributedTrainableCreator(
    train_func, num_workers=2)
analysis = tune.run(trainable_cls)
ray.tune.integration.torch.distributed_checkpoint_dir(step: int, disable: bool = False) → Generator[str, None, None][source]

ContextManager for creating a distributed checkpoint.

Only checkpoints a file on the “main” training actor, avoiding redundant work.

Parameters

  • step (int) – Used to label the checkpoint

  • disable (bool) – Disable for prototyping.

Yields

str – A path to a directory. This path will be used again when invoking the training_function.

Example:

def train_func(config, checkpoint_dir):
    if checkpoint_dir:
        path = os.path.join(checkpoint_dir, "checkpoint")
        model_state_dict = torch.load(path)

    if epoch % 3 == 0:
        with distributed_checkpoint_dir(step=epoch) as checkpoint_dir:
            path = os.path.join(checkpoint_dir, "checkpoint")
            torch.save(model.state_dict(), path)
ray.tune.integration.torch.is_distributed_trainable()[source]

Returns True if executing within a DistributedTrainable.

Horovod (tune.integration.horovod)

ray.tune.integration.horovod.DistributedTrainableCreator(func: Callable, use_gpu: bool = False, num_hosts: Optional[int] = None, num_workers: int = 1, num_cpus_per_worker: int = 1, timeout_s: int = 30, replicate_pem: bool = False) → Type[ray.tune.integration.horovod._HorovodTrainable][source]

Converts Horovod functions to be executable by Tune.

Requires horovod > 0.19 to work.

This function wraps and sets the resources for a given Horovod function to be used with Tune. It generates a Horovod Trainable (trial) which can itself be a distributed training job. One basic assumption of this implementation is that all sub-workers of a trial will be placed evenly across different machines.

It is recommended that if num_hosts per trial > 1, you set num_workers == the size (or number of GPUs) of a single host. If num_hosts == 1, then you can set num_workers to be <= the size (number of GPUs) of a single host.

This above assumption can be relaxed - please file a feature request on Github to inform the maintainers.

Another assumption is that this API requires gloo as the underlying communication primitive. You will need to install Horovod with HOROVOD_WITH_GLOO enabled.

Fault Tolerance: The trial workers themselves are not fault tolerant. When a host of a trial fails, all workers of a trial are expected to die, and the trial is expected to restart. This currently does not support function checkpointing.

Parameters

  • func (Callable[[dict], None]) – A training function that takes in a config dict for hyperparameters and should initialize horovod via horovod.init.

  • use_gpu (bool) –

  • num_cpus_per_worker (int) – Number of CPUs to request from Ray per worker.

  • num_hosts (int) – Number of hosts that each trial is expected to use.

  • num_workers (int) – Number of workers to start on each host.

  • timeout_s (int) – Seconds for Horovod rendezvous to timeout.

  • replicate_pem (bool) – THIS MAY BE INSECURE. If true, this will replicate the underlying Ray cluster ssh key across all hosts. This may be useful if using the Ray Autoscaler.

Returns

Trainable class that can be passed into tune.run.

Example:

def train(config):
    horovod.init()
    horovod.allreduce()

from ray.tune.integration.horovod import DistributedTrainableCreator
trainable_cls = DistributedTrainableCreator(
    train, num_hosts=1, num_workers=2, use_gpu=True)

tune.run(trainable_cls)

New in version 1.0.0.

  • metrics (str|list|dict) – Metrics to report to Tune. If this is a list, each item describes the metric key reported to LightGBM, and it will reported under the same name to Tune. If this is a dict, each key will be the name reported to Tune and the respective value will be the metric key reported to LightGBM.

  • filename (str) – Filename of the checkpoint within the checkpoint directory. Defaults to “checkpoint”. If this is None, all metrics will be reported to Tune under their default names as obtained from LightGBM.

  • frequency (int) – How often to save checkpoints. Per default, a checkpoint is saved every five iterations.

  • results_postprocessing_fn (Callable) – An optional Callable that takes in the dict that will be reported to Tune (after it has been flattened) and returns a modified dict that will be reported instead.

Example:

import lightgbm
from ray.tune.integration.lightgbm import (
    TuneReportCheckpointCallback
)

config = {
    # ...
    "metric": ["binary_logloss", "binary_error"],
}

# Report only log loss to Tune after each validation epoch.
# Save model as `lightgbm.mdl`.
bst = lightgbm.train(
    config,
    train_set,
    valid_sets=[test_set],
    valid_names=["eval"],
    verbose_eval=False,
    callbacks=[TuneReportCheckpointCallback(
        {"loss": "eval-binary_logloss"}, "lightgbm.mdl)])
