Reproducible Data Science with Pachyderm

By: Svetlana Karslioglu

Overview of this book

Pachyderm is an open source project that enables data scientists to run reproducible data pipelines and scale them to an enterprise level. This book will teach you how to implement Pachyderm to create collaborative data science workflows and reproduce your ML experiments at scale. You’ll begin your journey by exploring the importance of data reproducibility and comparing different data science platforms. Next, you’ll explore how Pachyderm fits into the picture and its significance, followed by learning how to install Pachyderm locally on your computer or a cloud platform of your choice. You’ll then discover the architectural components and Pachyderm's main pipeline principles and concepts. The book demonstrates how to use Pachyderm components to create your first data pipeline and advances to cover common operations involving data, such as uploading data to and from Pachyderm to create more complex pipelines. Based on what you've learned, you'll develop an end-to-end ML workflow, before trying out the hyperparameter tuning technique and the different supported Pachyderm language clients. Finally, you’ll learn how to use a SaaS version of Pachyderm with Pachyderm Notebooks. By the end of this book, you will learn all aspects of running your data pipelines in Pachyderm and manage them on a day-to-day basis.

Running maintenance operations

Like with every system or tool, Pachyderm might require periodic maintenance, upgrades, and troubleshooting. In the following sections, we will discuss the most important aspects of pipeline maintenance.

Troubleshooting your pipeline

In this section, you will learn how to troubleshoot your pipeline.

Your pipelines might fail for the following reasons:

  • Error in your code: This type of error occurs when something in your code is incorrect, such as a resource is not available or an incorrect value is specified. Fixing this type of error involves troubleshooting your code. You could try to do it locally before testing it inside Pachyderm.
  • Pipeline specification error: This type of error occurs when something is incorrect in the pipeline specification; for example, a pipeline cannot pull the Docker image. This often happens when a wrong image version is specified or there is a network issue.
  • Resource-related error: This type of error...
