MLeap Logo

Gitter Build Status Maven Central

Deploying machine learning data pipelines and algorithms should not be a time-consuming or difficult task. MLeap allows data scientists and engineers to deploy machine learning pipelines from Spark and Scikit-learn to a portable format and execution engine.

Documentation

Documentation is available at https://combust.github.io/mleap-docs/.

Read Serializing a Spark ML Pipeline and Scoring with MLeap to gain a full sense of what is possible.

Introduction

Using the MLeap execution engine and serialization format, we provide a performant, portable and easy-to-integrate production library for machine learning data pipelines and algorithms.

For portability, we build our software on the JVM and only use serialization formats that are widely-adopted.

We also provide a high level of integration with existing technologies.

Our goals for this project are:

  1. Allow Researchers/Data Scientists and Engineers to continue to build data pipelines and train algorithms with Spark and Scikit-Learn
  2. Extend Spark/Scikit/TensorFlow by providing ML Pipelines serialization/deserialization to/from a common framework (Bundle.ML)
  3. Use MLeap Runtime to execute your pipeline and algorithm without dependenices on Spark or Scikit (numpy, pandas, etc)

Overview

  1. Core execution engine implemented in Scala
  2. Spark, PySpark and Scikit-Learn support
  3. Export a model with Scikit-learn or Spark and execute it using the MLeap Runtime (without dependencies on the Spark Context, or sklearn/numpy/pandas/etc)
  4. Choose from 2 portable serialization formats (JSON, Protobuf)
  5. Implement your own custom data types and transformers for use with MLeap data frames and transformer pipelines
  6. Extensive test coverage with full parity tests for Spark and MLeap pipelines
  7. Optional Spark transformer extension to extend Spark's default transformer offerings

Unified Runtime

Requirements

MLeap is built against Scala 2.11 and Java 8. Because we depend heavily on Typesafe config for MLeap, we only support Java 8 at the moment.

MLeap/Spark Version

Choose the right version of the mleap-spark module to export your pipeline. The serialization format is backwards compatible between different versions of MLeap. So if you export a pipeline using MLeap 0.11.0 and Spark 2.1, you can still load that pipeline using MLeap runtime version 0.12.0.

MLeap Version Spark Version
0.19.0 3.0.2
0.18.1 3.0.2
0.18.0 3.0.2
0.17.0 2.4.5
0.16.0 2.4.5
0.15.0 2.4
0.14.0 2.4
0.13.0 2.3
0.12.0 2.3
0.11.0 2.2
0.11.0 2.1
0.11.0 2.0
0.10.3 2.2
0.10.3 2.1
0.10.3 2.0

Using the Library

For more complete examples, see our other Git repository: MLeap Demos

Create and Export a Spark Pipeline

The first step is to create our pipeline in Spark. For our example we will manually build a simple Spark ML pipeline.

import ml.combust.bundle.BundleFile
import ml.combust.mleap.spark.SparkSupport._
import org.apache.spark.ml.Pipeline
import org.apache.spark.ml.bundle.SparkBundleContext
import org.apache.spark.ml.feature.{Binarizer, StringIndexer}
import org.apache.spark.sql._
import org.apache.spark.sql.functions._
import resource._

  val datasetName = "./examples/spark-demo.csv"

  val dataframe: DataFrame = spark.sqlContext.read.format("csv")
    .option("header", true)
    .load(datasetName)
    .withColumn("test_double", col("test_double").cast("double"))

  // User out-of-the-box Spark transformers like you normally would
  val stringIndexer = new StringIndexer().
    setInputCol("test_string").
    setOutputCol("test_index")

  val binarizer = new Binarizer().
    setThreshold(0.5).
    setInputCol("test_double").
    setOutputCol("test_bin")

  val pipelineEstimator = new Pipeline()
    .setStages(Array(stringIndexer, binarizer))

  val pipeline = pipelineEstimator.fit(dataframe)

  // then serialize pipeline
  val sbc = SparkBundleContext().withDataset(pipeline.transform(dataframe))
  for(bf <- managed(BundleFile("jar:file:/tmp/simple-spark-pipeline.zip"))) {
    pipeline.writeBundle.save(bf)(sbc).get
  }

The dataset used for training can be found here

Spark pipelines are not meant to be run outside of Spark. They require a DataFrame and therefore a SparkContext to run. These are expensive data structures and libraries to include in a project. With MLeap, there is no dependency on Spark to execute a pipeline. MLeap dependencies are lightweight and we use fast data structures to execute your ML pipelines.

PySpark Integration

Import the MLeap library in your PySpark job

import mleap.pyspark
from mleap.pyspark.spark_support import SimpleSparkSerializer

See PySpark Integration of python/README.md for more.

Create and Export a Scikit-Learn Pipeline

import pandas as pd

from mleap.sklearn.pipeline import Pipeline
from mleap.sklearn.preprocessing.data import FeatureExtractor, LabelEncoder, ReshapeArrayToN1
from sklearn.preprocessing import OneHotEncoder

data = pd.DataFrame(['a', 'b', 'c'], columns=['col_a'])

categorical_features = ['col_a']

feature_extractor_tf = FeatureExtractor(input_scalars=categorical_features, 
                                         output_vector='imputed_features', 
                                         output_vector_items=categorical_features)

# Label Encoder for x1 Label 
label_encoder_tf = LabelEncoder(input_features=feature_extractor_tf.output_vector_items,
                               output_features='{}_label_le'.format(categorical_features[0]))

# Reshape the output of the LabelEncoder to N-by-1 array
reshape_le_tf = ReshapeArrayToN1()

# Vector Assembler for x1 One Hot Encoder
one_hot_encoder_tf = OneHotEncoder(sparse=False)
one_hot_encoder_tf.mlinit(prior_tf = label_encoder_tf, 
                          output_features = '{}_label_one_hot_encoded'.format(categorical_features[0]))

one_hot_encoder_pipeline_x0 = Pipeline([
                                         (feature_extractor_tf.name, feature_extractor_tf),
                                         (label_encoder_tf.name, label_encoder_tf),
                                         (reshape_le_tf.name, reshape_le_tf),
                                         (one_hot_encoder_tf.name, one_hot_encoder_tf)
                                        ])

one_hot_encoder_pipeline_x0.mlinit()
one_hot_encoder_pipeline_x0.fit_transform(data)
one_hot_encoder_pipeline_x0.serialize_to_bundle('/tmp', 'mleap-scikit-test-pipeline', init=True)

# array([[ 1.,  0.,  0.],
#        [ 0.,  1.,  0.],
#        [ 0.,  0.,  1.]])

Load and Transform Using MLeap

Because we export Spark and Scikit-learn pipelines to a standard format, we can use either our Spark-trained pipeline or our Scikit-learn pipeline from the previous steps to demonstrate usage of MLeap in this section. The choice is yours!

import ml.combust.bundle.BundleFile
import ml.combust.mleap.runtime.MleapSupport._
import resource._
// load the Spark pipeline we saved in the previous section
val bundle = (for(bundleFile <- managed(BundleFile("jar:file:/tmp/simple-spark-pipeline.zip"))) yield {
  bundleFile.loadMleapBundle().get
}).opt.get

// create a simple LeapFrame to transform
import ml.combust.mleap.runtime.frame.{DefaultLeapFrame, Row}
import ml.combust.mleap.core.types._

// MLeap makes extensive use of monadic types like Try
val schema = StructType(StructField("test_string", ScalarType.String),
  StructField("test_double", ScalarType.Double)).get
val data = Seq(Row("hello", 0.6), Row("MLeap", 0.2))
val frame = DefaultLeapFrame(schema, data)

// transform the dataframe using our pipeline
val mleapPipeline = bundle.root
val frame2 = mleapPipeline.transform(frame).get
val data2 = frame2.dataset

// get data from the transformed rows and make some assertions
assert(data2(0).getDouble(2) == 1.0) // string indexer output
assert(data2(0).getDouble(3) == 1.0) // binarizer output

// the second row
assert(data2(1).getDouble(2) == 2.0)
assert(data2(1).getDouble(3) == 0.0)
