feast-client

Feast Client SDK (Node.js)

This is a client for the Feature Store Feast, written in TypeScript.

It stays close to the Python SDK, but diverges from it in a few ways - see more on that below.

Install

npm install feast-client --save

Usage

TypeScript

import * as feast from 'feast-client'

// instantiate a Feast Client
const feastClient = new feast.Client({ coreUrl: 'localhost:6565', servingUrl: 'localhost:6566' })

// create a new Feast project
await feastClient.createProject('example-project')

  // create a new Feast FeatureSet
const entity = feast.Entity.fromConfig('customerId', feast.ValueType.STRING)
const orderValue = feast.Feature.fromConfig('orderValueInUSDCents', feast.ValueType.INT32)
const ageOfCustomer = feast.Feature.fromConfig('ageOfCustomerInYears', feast.ValueType.INT32)
const featureSet = feast.FeatureSet.fromConfig('example-feature-set', {
  project: 'example-project',
  entities: [entity],
  features: [orderValue, ageOfCustomer]
})

// register the FeatureSet with Feast
await feastClient.applyFeatureSet(featureSet)

// create a feature row ...
const featureRow = feast.FeatureRow.fromConfig({
  fields: {
    orderValueInUSDCents: 995,
    ageOfCustomerInYears: 30
  },
  eventTimestamp: Date.now(),
  featureSet: 'example-project/example-feature-set'
})

// ... and submit to the server
const ingestionId = await feastClient.ingest([featureRow])

JavaScript

const feast = require('feast-client')

// instantiate a Feast Client
const feastClient = new feast.Client({ coreUrl: 'localhost:6565', servingUrl: 'localhost:6566' })

// create a new Feast project
await feastClient.createProject('example-project')

// create a new Feast FeatureSet
const entity = feast.Entity.fromConfig('customerId', ValueType.STRING)
const orderValue = feast.Feature.fromConfig('orderValueInUSDCents', ValueType.INT32)
const ageOfCustomer = feast.Feature.fromConfig('ageOfCustomerInYears', ValueType.INT32)
const featureSet = feast.FeatureSet.fromConfig('example-feature-set', {
  project: 'example-project',
  entities: [entity],
  features: [orderValue, ageOfCustomer]
})

// register the FeatureSet with Feast
await feastClient.applyFeatureSet(featureSet)

// create a feature row ...
const featureRow = feast.FeatureRow.fromConfig({
  fields: {
    orderValueInUSDCents: 995,
    ageOfCustomerInYears: 30
  },
  eventTimestamp: Date.now(),
  featureSet: 'example-project/example-feature-set'
})

// ... and submit to the server
const ingestionId = await feastClient.ingest([featureRow])

Notes on differences between the Python SDK and Node.js SDK

• client.apply - due to apply being an inherited function for all Objects in JS, client.apply is client.applyFeatureSet for this SDK. To apply (i.e. create or update) multiple feature sets at once use applyFeatureSets.
• new FeatureSet (also Entity and Feature) - there are two common flows for instantiating a feature set - manually instantiating it (when it is not yet registered with Feast) and receiving a feature set that is registered with Feast. To support each flow conveniently, there are two constructor methods FeatureSet.fromConfig and FeatureSet.fromFeast - the constructor (i.e. new FeatureSet) is set to private and can not be called directly. The same applies to Entity and Feature.

ToDo

• Implement Authentication and Authorization features
• Implement support for tags (aka. labels)
• Implement Statistics features
