Start trained model deployment API
editStart trained model deployment API
editStarts a new trained model deployment.
This functionality is in technical preview and may be changed or removed in a future release. Elastic will work to fix any issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.
Request
editPOST _ml/trained_models/<model_id>/deployment/_start
Prerequisites
editRequires the manage_ml
cluster privilege. This privilege is included in the
machine_learning_admin
built-in role.
Description
editCurrently only pytorch
models are supported for deployment. When deployed,
the model attempts allocation to every machine learning node. Once deployed
the model can be used by the Inference processor
in an ingest pipeline or directly in the Infer trained model deployment API.
Path parameters
edit-
<model_id>
- (Required, string) The unique identifier of the trained model.
Query parameters
edit-
inference_threads
- (Optional, integer) Sets the number of threads used by the inference process. This generally increases the inference speed. The inference process is a compute-bound process; any number greater than the number of available hardware threads on the machine does not increase the inference speed. If this setting is greater than the number of hardware threads it will automatically be changed to a value less than the number of hardware threads. Defaults to 1.
-
model_threads
- (Optional, integer) The number of threads used when sending inference requests to the model. Increasing this value generally increases the throughput. If this setting is greater than the number of hardware threads it will automatically be changed to a value less than the number of hardware threads. Defaults to 1.
If the sum of inference_threads
and model_threads
is greater than the number of
hardware threads then the number of inference_threads
will be reduced.
-
queue_capacity
- (Optional, integer) Controls how many inference requests are allowed in the queue at a time. Every machine learning node in the cluster where the model can be allocated has a queue of this size; when the number of requests exceeds the total value, new requests are rejected with a 429 error. Defaults to 1024.
-
timeout
- (Optional, time) Controls the amount of time to wait for the model to deploy. Defaults to 20 seconds.
-
wait_for
-
(Optional, string)
Specifies the allocation status to wait for before returning. Defaults to
started
. The valuestarting
indicates deployment is starting but not yet on any node. The valuestarted
indicates the model has started on at least one node. The valuefully_allocated
indicates the deployment has started on all valid nodes.
Examples
editThe following example starts a new deployment for a
elastic__distilbert-base-uncased-finetuned-conll03-english
trained model:
POST _ml/trained_models/elastic__distilbert-base-uncased-finetuned-conll03-english/deployment/_start?wait_for=started&timeout=1m
The API returns the following results:
{ "allocation": { "task_parameters": { "model_id": "elastic__distilbert-base-uncased-finetuned-conll03-english", "model_bytes": 265632637 }, "routing_table": { "uckeG3R8TLe2MMNBQ6AGrw": { "routing_state": "started", "reason": "" } }, "allocation_state": "started", "start_time": "2021-11-02T11:50:34.766591Z" } }
