Upon success, all definitions in the definitions.py (or whatever you choose to call it) file will be sent to the Featureform instance, logged in the metadata, and materialized with the registered providers.
After applying new resource definitions, you can use the GET command to see the status of the resources you applied. A resource with the status READY is available for serving.
GET Command
The GET command displays status, variants, and other metadata on a resource.
featureform get RESOURCE_TYPE NAME [VARIANT] --host $FEATUREFORM_HOST --cert $FEATUREFORM_CERT
RESOURCE_TYPE (required) can be:
feature - machine learning features
label - machine learning labels
training-set - set of features and one label for training ML models
user - registered users in your instance
entity - identifier for a source of features or labels (akin to a primary key)
model - registered machine learning models which training sets and features are fed to
provider - registered 3rd party providers which store your data
source - files, tables, or transformations that features, labels and training sets source from
NAME is the name of the resource type to be queried.
VARIANT is optional, for when information on a specific variant is needed.
Example: Getting a User
The commands are both valid ways to retrieve information on the user "featureformer".
The first is with certification. The second without; the --insecure flag disables the need for the --cert flag
featureform get user featureformer --host $FEATUREFORM_HOST --cert $FEATUREFORM_CERT
featureform get user featureformer --insecure --host $FEATUREFORM_HOST
Either command returns the following output.
USER NAME: featureformer
NAME VARIANT TYPE
avg_transactions quickstart feature
fraudulent quickstart label
fraud_training quickstart training set
transactions kaggle source
average_user_transaction quickstart source
Listed below the user are all the resources registered to that user.
Example: Getting a Resource
The following command shows how to retrieve information on a specific resource, a feature named "avg_transactions".
featureform get feature avg_transactions --host $FEATUREFORM_HOST --cert $FEATUREFORM_CERT
NAME: avg_transactions
STATUS: NO_STATUS
VARIANTS:
quickstart default
v1
v2
prodThis would be the output:
Example: Getting a Resource Variant
The command below retrieves information on the specific variant of the feature "avg_transactions", "quickstart"
featureform get feature avg_transactions quickstart --host $FEATUREFORM_HOST --cert $FEATUREFORM_CERT
NAME: avg_transactions
VARIANT: quickstart
TYPE: float32
ENTITY: user
OWNER: featureformer
DESCRIPTION:
PROVIDER: redis-quickstart
STATUS: READY
SOURCE:
