Sci-Pype - A Machine Learning Framework for Sharing Models and Analysis

This is now deployed under the https://redten.io cloud service for analyzing datasets.

Sci-Pype is a framework for analyzing datasets using Python 2.7 and extended from the Jupyter Scipy-Notebook with a supported command line version (no docker or Jupyter required). It was built to make data analysis easier by providing an API to build, train, test, predict, validate, analyze, extract, archive, and import Models and Analysis datasets with: S3 and redis (Kafka coming soon). After building and training the requested Models with a dataset, they are cached in redis along with their respective Analysis. After they are cached, they can be extracted and shared using S3. From S3, the Models can be imported back into redis for making new predictions using the same API.

Sci-Pype - A Machine Learning Framework for Sharing Models and Analysis

Analyzing the IRIS dataset with Sci-Pype

Common use cases for this framework are sharing Analysis notebooks and then automating new predictions with email delivery using AWS SES. With this native caching + deployment layer, you can build, train and use the supported Machine Learning Algorithms and Models across multiple environments (including multi-tenant ones). Once trained, you can extract the Models as a compressed, serialized Model file (like a build artifact) that is uploaded to S3. Importing a Model file decompresses the file and stores the Pickle-serialized Models + Analysis objects in redis. In production, it might be useful to house larger Models in something like a load-balanced redis cluster for sharing and making new predictions across a team or by automation.

Please note this is a large docker container so it may take some time to download and it extracts to ~8.1 GB on disk.

Notebook Examples

Please refer to the examples directory for the latest notebooks. Most of the notebooks and command line tools require running with a redis server listening on port 6000 (<repo base dir>/dev-start.sh will start one).

  1. ML-IRIS-Analysis-Workflow-Classification.ipynb

    Build a unique Machine Learning Classifier (parameterized XGB by default) for each column in the IRIS dataset. After training and testing the Models, perform a general analysis on each column and save + display images generated during each step. After running, the Models + Analysis are Pickled into a set of objects stored in a set of unique redis cache keys. These leaf nodes are organized into a set of redis keys contained in the manifest node for retrieval as needed in the future (like a tree of Machine Learning Algorithm Models with their associated pre-computed Analysis in memory).

  2. ML-IRIS-Analysis-Workflow-Regression.ipynb

    Build a unique Machine Learning Regressor (parameterized XGB by default) for each column in the IRIS dataset. After training and testing the Models, perform a general analysis on each column and save + display images generated during each step. After running, the Models + Analysis are Pickled into a set of objects stored in a set of unique redis cache keys. These leaf nodes are organized into a set of redis keys contained in the manifest node for retrieval as needed in the future (like a tree of Machine Learning Algorithm Models with their associated pre-computed Analysis in memory).

  3. ML-IRIS-Extract-Models-From-Cache.ipynb

    Extract all Models and Analysis records from redis and compile a large Pickle-serialized dictionary. Create a manifest for decoupling Model + Analysis nodes and compress the dictionary object (using zlib) and write it to disk as a Model file (*.cache.pickle.zlib). After creating the file on disk, upload it to the configured S3 Bucket and Key.

    Once uploaded to the S3 Bucket you should be able to view, download and share the Model files:

    ./examples/images/scipype_s3_bucket_with_xgb_classifier_and_regressor_models_as_pickled_object_files.png

    S3 Bucket containing the IRIS Model Files

  4. ML-IRIS-Import-and-Cache-Models-From-S3.ipynb

    Download the S3 IRIS Model file from the configured S3 Bucket + Key and decompress the previously-built Analysis and Models using Pickle to store them all in the redis cache according to the manifest. This includes examples from the IRIS sample dataset and requires you to have a valid S3 Bucket storing the Models and are comfortable paying for the download costs to retrieve the Model file from S3 (https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/).

  5. ML-IRIS-Predict-From-Cache-for-New-Predictions-and-Analysis-Classifier.ipynb

    This notebook shows how to make new predictions with cached IRIS Classifier Models + Analysis housed in redis.

  6. ML-IRIS-Predict-From-Cache-for-New-Predictions-and-Analysis-Regressor.ipynb

    This notebook shows how to make new predictions with cached IRIS Regressor Models + Analysis housed in redis.

Command Line Examples

Most of the notebooks and command line tools require running with a redis server listening on port 6000 (<repo base dir>/dev-start.sh will start one). The command line versions that do not require docker or Jupyter can be found:

Now you can share, test, and deploy Models and their respective Analysis from a file in S3 for other Sci-Pype users running on different environments.

Overview

The docker container runs a Jupyter web application. The web application runs Jupyter Notebooks as kernels. For now the examples and core included in this repository will only work with Python 2.

This container can run in four modes:

  1. Default development

    This mode will mount your changes from the repository into the container at runtime for local testing.

    To start the local development version run: dev-start.sh

    ./dev-start.sh
    

    You can login to the container with: ./ssh.sh

  2. Docker Run Single Container

    To start the local development version run: start.sh

    ./start.sh
    

    You can login to the container with: ./ssh.sh

  3. Full Stack

    To start the full stack mode run: compose-start-full.sh

    ./compose-start-full.sh
    

    The full-stack-compose.yml will deploy three docker containers using docker compose:

  4. Standalone Testing

    To start the full stack mode run: compose-start-jupyter.sh

    ./compose-start-jupyter.sh
    

    The jupyter-docker-compose.yml is used to deploy a single Jupyter container.

Running Locally without Docker

Here is how to run locally without using docker (and Lambda deployments in the future).

  1. Clone the repo without the dash character in the name

    $ git clone [email protected]:jay-johnson/sci-pype.git scipype
    
  2. Go to the base dir of the repository

    dev$ cd scipype
    
  3. Set up a local virtual environment using the installer

    This will take some time and may fail due to missing packages on your host. Please refer to the Coming Soon and Known Issues section for help getting passed these issues.

    scipype$ ./setup-new-dev.sh
    

    After this finishes you should see the lines:

    ---------------------------------------------------------
    Activate the new Scipype virtualenv with:
    
    source ./dev-properties.sh"
       or:
    source ./properties.sh
    
  4. Activate the scipype virtual environment for development:

    $ source ./dev-properties.sh
    
  5. Confirm your virtual environment is ready for use

    (scipype) scipype$ pip list --format=columns | grep -E -i "tensorflow|pandas|redis|kafka|xgboost|scipy|scikit"
    confluent-kafka                    0.9.2
    kafka-python                       1.3.1
    pandas                             0.19.2
    pandas-datareader                  0.2.2
    pandas-ml                          0.4.0
    redis                              2.10.5
    scikit-image                       0.12.3
    scikit-learn                       0.18.1
    scikit-neuralnetwork               0.7
    scipy                              0.18.1
    tensorflow                         0.12.0
    xgboost                            0.6a2
    (scipype) scipype$
    
  6. Setup the /opt/work symlink

    When running outside docker, I find it easiest to just symlink the repo's base dir to /opt/work to emulate the container's internal directory deployment structure. In a future release, a local-properties.sh file will set all the environment variables relative to the repository, but for now this works.

    scipype$ ln -s $(pwd) /opt/work
    
  7. Confirm the symlink is setup

    scipype$ ll /opt/work
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 driver driver 32 Mar  6 22:38 /opt/work -> /home/driver/dev/scipype/
    scipype$
    
  8. If you want to always use this virtual environment add this to your ~/.bashrc

    echo 'source /opt/venv/scipype/bin/activate' >> ~/.bashrc
    
  9. Confirm the Demo downloader works using the Virtual Environment

    Please note: this assumes running from a new terminal to validate the virtual environment activation

    Activate it

    scipype$ source ./dev-properties.sh
    

    Run the Demo

    (scipype) scipype$ ./bins/demo-running-locally.py
    Downloading(SPY) Dates[Jan, 02 2016 - Jan, 02 2017]
    Storing CSV File(/opt/scipype/data/src/spy.csv)
    Done Downloading CSV for Ticker(SPY)
    Success File exists: /opt/scipype/data/src/spy.csv
    

    Deactivate it

    (scipype) scipype$ deactivate
    scipype$
    
  10. If you want to automatically load the full Scipype environment properties.sh for any new shell terminal add this to your user's ~/.bashrc

    echo 'source /opt/work/properties.sh' >> ~/.bashrc
    

Authenticated Redis Examples

You can lock redis down with a password by setting it in the redis.conf before starting the redis server (https://redis.io/topics/security#authentication-feature). Here is how to use the machine learning API with a password-locked Redis Labs endpoint or a local one.

Environment Variables

If you are running sci-pype in a docker container it will load the following env vars to ensure the redis application system's clients are setup with the password and database:

# Redis Password where Empty = No Password like:
# ENV_REDIS_PASSWORD=
ENV_REDIS_PASSWORD=2603648a854c4f3ba7c93e8449319380
ENV_REDIS_DB_ID=0

You can run without a password by either not defining the ENV_REDIS_PASSWORD environment variable or making it set to an empty string.

Using a Password-locked Redis Labs Cloud endpoint

  1. Run the Secure Redis Labs Cloud Demo

    bins/ml$ ./demo-secure-rl-regressor-iris.py
    
  2. Connect to the Redis Labs Cloud endpoint

    After running it you can verify the models were stored on the secured endpoint:

    bins/ml$ redis-cli -h pub-redis-12515.us-west-2-1.1.ec2.garantiadata.com -p 12515
    
  3. Verify the server is enforcing the password

    pub-redis-12515.us-west-2-1.1.ec2.garantiadata.com:12515> KEYS *
    (error) NOAUTH Authentication required
    
  4. Authenticate with the password

    pub-redis-12515.us-west-2-1.1.ec2.garantiadata.com:12515> auth 2603648a854c4f3ba7c93e8449319380
    OK
    
  5. View the redis keys

    pub-redis-12515.us-west-2-1.1.ec2.garantiadata.com:12515> KEYS *
    1) "_MD_IRIS_REGRESSOR_PetalWidth"
    2) "_MD_IRIS_REGRESSOR_PredictionsDF"
    3) "_MD_IRIS_REGRESSOR_SepalWidth"
    4) "_MODELS_IRIS_REGRESSOR_LATEST"
    5) "_MD_IRIS_REGRESSOR_ResultTargetValue"
    6) "_MD_IRIS_REGRESSOR_Accuracy"
    7) "_MD_IRIS_REGRESSOR_PetalLength"
    8) "_MD_IRIS_REGRESSOR_SepalLength"
    pub-redis-12515.us-west-2-1.1.ec2.garantiadata.com:12515> exit
    bins/ml$
    

Local

  1. You can run a password-locked, standalone redis server with docker compose using this script:

    https://github.com/jay-johnson/sci-pype/blob/master/bins/redis/auth-start.sh

  2. Once the redis server is started you can run the local secure demo with the script:

    bins/ml$ ./demo-secure-ml-regressor-iris.py
    
  3. After the demo finishes you can authenticate with the local redis server and view the cached models:

    bins/ml$ redis-cli -p 6400
    127.0.0.1:6400> KEYS *
    (error) NOAUTH Authentication required.
    127.0.0.1:6400> AUTH 2603648a854c4f3ba7c93e8449319380
    OK
    127.0.0.1:6400> KEYS *
    1) "_MD_IRIS_REGRESSOR_PetalWidth"
    2) "_MD_IRIS_REGRESSOR_PetalLength"
    3) "_MD_IRIS_REGRESSOR_PredictionsDF"
    4) "_MD_IRIS_REGRESSOR_SepalWidth"
    5) "_MODELS_IRIS_REGRESSOR_LATEST"
    6) "_MD_IRIS_REGRESSOR_Accuracy"
    7) "_MD_IRIS_REGRESSOR_ResultTargetValue"
    8) "_MD_IRIS_REGRESSOR_SepalLength"
    127.0.0.1:6400> exit
    bins/ml$
    
  4. If you want to stop the redis server run:

    https://github.com/jay-johnson/sci-pype/blob/master/bins/redis/stop.sh

    This example shows how environment variables allow the python core to publish a message into Slack to notify the associated user with a message containing the line number and source code that threw the exception.

    https://jaypjohnson.com/_images/image_2016-08-01_slack-debugging.png

Components

  1. Python 2 Core

    The PyCore uses a JSON config file for connecting to redis servers and configurable databases (MySQL and Postgres) using SQLAlchemy. It has only been tested with the Python 2.7 kernel.

  2. Local Redis Server

    When starting the container with ENV_DEPLOYMENT_TYPE set to anything not JustDB, the container will start a local redis server inside the container on port 6000 for iterating on your pipeline analysis, Model deployment and caching strategies.

  3. Loading Database and Redis Applications

    By default the jupyter.json config supports multiple environments for integrating notebooks with external resources. Here is table on what they define:

    Name

    Purpose

    Redis Applications

    Database Applications

    Local

    Use the internal redis server with the stock db

    local-redis.json

    db.json

    NoApps

    Run the core without redis servers or databases

    empty-redis.json

    empty-db.json

    JustRedis

    Run with just the redis servers and no databases

    local-redis.json

    empty-db.json

    JustDB

    Run without redis servers and load the databases

    empty-redis.json

    db.json

    Test

    Connect to external redis servers and databases

    redis.json

    db.json

    Live

    Connect to external redis servers and databases

    redis.json

    db.json

    Inside a notebook you can target a different environment before loading the core with:

    • Changing to the JustRedis Environment:

      import os
      os.environ["ENV_DEPLOYMENT_TYPE"] = "JustRedis"
      core = PyCore()
      
    • Changing to the NoApps Environment:

      import os
      os.environ["ENV_DEPLOYMENT_TYPE"] = "NoApps"
      core = PyCore()
      
  4. Customize the Jupyter Container Lifecycle

    The following environment variables can be used for defining pre-start, start, and post-start Jupyter actions as needed.

    Environment Variable

    Default Value

    Purpose

    ENV_PRESTART_SCRIPT

    /opt/containerfiles/pre-start-notebook.sh

    Run custom actions before starting Jupyter

    ENV_START_SCRIPT

    /opt/containerfiles/start-notebook.sh

    Start Jupyter

    ENV_POSTSTART_SCRIPT

    /opt/containerfiles/post-start-notebook.sh

    Run custom actions after starting Jupyter

  5. Slack Debugging

    The core supports publishing exceptions into Slack based off the environment variables passed in using docker or docker compose.

  6. Tracking Installed Dependencies for Notebook Sharing

    This docker container uses these files for tracking Python 2 and Python 3 pips:

    • /opt/work/pips/python2-requirements.txt
    • /opt/work/pips/python3-requirements.txt
  7. Shared Volumes

    These are the mounted volumes and directories that can be changed as needed. Also the core uses them as environment variables.

    Host Mount

    Container Mount

    Purpose

    /opt/project

    /opt/project

    Sharing a project from the host machine

    /opt/work/data

    /opt/work/data

    Sharing a common data dir between host and containers

    /opt/work/data/src

    /opt/work/data/src

    Passing data source files into the container

    /opt/work/data/dst

    /opt/work/data/dst

    Passing processed data files outside the container

    /opt/work/data/bin

    /opt/work/data/bin

    Exchanging data binaries from the host into the container

    /opt/work/data/synthesize

    /opt/work/data/output

    Sharing processed files and analyzed output

Getting Started

Local Jupyter

  1. Start the Container in Local development mode

    $ ./start.sh
    Starting new Docker image(docker.io/jayjohnson/jupyter)
    4275447ef6a3aa06fb06097837deeb202bd80b15969a9c1269a5ee042d8df13d
    $
    
  2. Browse to the local Jupyter website

    http://localhost:82/

Full Stack

The full-stack-compose.yml patches the Jupyter and redis containers to ensure the MySQL database is listening on port 3306 before starting. It does this by defining a custom entrypoint wrapper for each in the wait-for-its tools directory.

  1. Start the Composition

    This can take around 20 seconds for MySQL to set up the seed pricing records, and it requires assigning the shared data directory permissions for read/write access from inside the Jupyter container.

    $ ./compose-start-full.sh
    Before starting changing permissions with:
       chown -R driver:users /opt/work/data/*
    [sudo] password for driver:
    Starting Composition: full-stack-compose.yml
    Starting stocksdb
    Starting jupyter
    Starting redis-server
    Done
    $

  3. Run the Database Extraction Jupyter Demo

    Open the notebook with this url: http://localhost:82/notebooks/examples/example-db-extract-and-cache.ipynb

  4. Click the Run Button

    This example will connect to the stocksdb MySQL container and pull 50 records from IBM's pricing data. It will then render plot lines for Open, Close, High, and Low using Pandas and Matlab. Next it will cache the IBM records in the redis-server container and then verify those records were cached correctly by retrieving it again.

  5. From outside the Jupyter container confirm the redis key holds the processed IBM data

    $ ./redis.sh
    SSH-ing into Docker image(redis-server)
    [root@redis-server container]# redis-cli -h localhost -p 6000
    localhost:6000> LRANGE LATEST_IBM_DAILY_STICKS 0 0

     ... removed for docs ...
    
    localhost:6000> exit
    [root@redis-server container]# exit
    exit
    $
    
  6. Stop the Composition

    $ ./compose-stop-full.sh
    Stopping Composition: full-stack-compose.yml
    Stopping redis-server ... done
    Stopping jupyter ... done
    Stopping stocksdb ... done
    Done
    $
    

Standalone

  1. Start Standalone

    Start the standalone Jupyter container using the jupyter-docker-compose.yml file. This compose file requires access to /opt/work/data host directory like the Full Stack version for sharing files between the container and the host.

    $ ./compose-start-jupyter.sh
    Before starting changing permissions with:
       chown -R driver:users /opt/work/data/*
    [sudo] password for driver:
    Starting Composition: jupyter-docker-compose.yml
    Starting jupyter
    Done
    $
    
  2. Stop Standalone

    Stop the standalone Jupyter composition with:

    $ ./compose-stop-jupyter.sh
    Stopping Composition: jupyter-docker-compose.yml
    Stopping jupyter ... done
    Done
    $
    

Deleting the Containers

Remove the containers with the command:

$ docker rm jupyter redis-server stocksdb
jupyter
redis-server
stocksdb
$

Delete them from the host with:

$ docker rmi jayjohnson/schemaprototyping
$ docker rmi jayjohnson/jupyter
$ docker rmi jayjohnson/redis-single-node

Sharing between the Host and the Jupyter Container

By default, the host will have this directory structure available for passing files in and out of the container:

$ tree /opt/work
/opt/work
└── data
    ├── analyze
    ├── bin
    ├── dst
    ├── output
    ├── src
    │   └── spy.csv
    ├── synthesize
    └── tidy

8 directories, 1 file

From inside the container here is where the directories are mapped:

$ ./ssh.sh
SSH-ing into Docker image(jupyter)
driver:/opt/work$ tree data/
data/
├── analyze
├── bin
├── dst
├── output
├── src
│   └── spy.csv
├── synthesize
└── tidy

7 directories, 1 file

Coming Soon and Known Issues

  1. Missing xattr.h

    If you see this error:

    xattr.c:29:24: fatal error: attr/xattr.h: No such file or directory
    

    Install RPM:

    sudo yum install -y libattr-devel
    

    Install Deb:

    sudo apt-get install -y libattr1-dev
    

    Retry the install

  2. Local Install Confluent:

    If you're trying to setup the local development environment and missing the kafka headers:

    In file included from confluent_kafka/src/confluent_kafka.c:17:0:
    confluent_kafka/src/confluent_kafka.h:21:32: fatal error: librdkafka/rdkafka.h: No such file or directory
    #include <librdkafka/rdkafka.h>
    

    Please install Kafka by adding their repository and then installing:

    $ sudo yum install confluent-platform-oss-2.11
    $ sudo yum install librdkafka1 librdkafka-devel

  4. How to build a customized Python Core mounted from outside the Jupyter container

  5. Fixing the docker compose networking so the stocksdb container does not need to know the compose-generated docker network.

    Right now it is defining the sci-pype_datapype as the expected docker network. This may not work on older versions of docker.

  6. Building Jupyter containers that are smaller and only run one kernel to reduce the overall size of the image

  7. Testing on an older docker version

    This was tested with 1.12.1

    $ docker -v
    Docker version 1.12.1, build 23cf638
    $
    
  8. Setting up the Jupyter wait-for-it to ensure the stocks database is loaded before starting...not just the port is up

    For now just shutdown the notebook kernel if you see an error related to the stocks database not being there when running the full stack.

Coming Soon
