proxystore.stream.interface¶

proxystore/stream/interface.py

Stream producer and consumer interfaces.

Note

The StreamProducer and StreamConsumer are re-exported in proxystore.stream for convenience.

StreamProducer ¶

StreamProducer(
    publisher: Publisher,
    stores: Mapping[str | None, Store[Any]],
    *,
    aggregator: Callable[[list[T]], T] | None = None,
    batch_size: int = 1,
    filter_: Filter | None = None
)

Bases: Generic[T]

Proxy stream producer interface.

Note

The StreamProducer can be used as a context manager.

with StreamProducer(...) as stream:
    for item in ...:
        stream.send(item)

Warning

The producer is not thread-safe.

Tip

This class is generic, so it is recommended that the type of objects in the stream be annotated appropriately. This is useful for enabling a static type checker to validate that the correct object types are published to the stream.

producer = StreamProducer[str](...)
# mypy will raise an error that StreamProducer.send() expects a str
# but got a list[int].
producer.send('default', [1, 2, 3])

Attributes:

publisher –

Publisher interface.

Parameters:

publisher (Publisher) –

Object which implements the Publisher protocol. Used to publish event messages when new objects are added to the stream.
stores (Mapping[str | None, Store[Any]]) –

Mapping from topic names to the Store instance used to store and communicate serialized objects streamed to that topic. The None topic can be used to specify a default Store used for topics not present in this mapping.
aggregator (Callable[[list[T]], T] | None, default: None ) –

Optional aggregator which takes as input the batch of objects and returns a single object of the same type when invoked. The size of the batch passed to the aggregator is controlled by the batch_size parameter. When aggregation is used, the metadata associated with the aggregated object will be the union of each metadata dict from each object in the batch.
batch_size (int, default: 1 ) –

Batch size used for batching and aggregation.
filter_ (Filter | None, default: None ) –

Optional filter to apply prior to sending objects to the stream. If the filter returns True for a given object's metadata, the object will not be sent to the stream. The filter is applied before aggregation or batching.

close() ¶

close(
    *,
    topics: Iterable[str] = (),
    publisher: bool = True,
    stores: bool = False
) -> None

Close the producer.

Warning

Objects buffered in an incomplete batch will be lost. Call flush() to ensure that all objects are sent before closing.

Warning

By default, this will close the Publisher interface, but will not close the Store interfaces.

Parameters:

topics (Iterable[str], default: () ) –

Topics to send end of stream events to. Equivalent to calling close_topics() first.
publisher (bool, default: True ) –

Close the Publisher interface.
stores (bool, default: False ) –

Close and unregister the Store instances.

close_topics() ¶

close_topics(*topics: str) -> None

Send publish an end of stream event to each topic.

A StreamConsumer will raise a StopIteration exception when an end of stream event is received. The end of stream event is still ordered, however, so all prior sent events will be consumed first before the end of stream event is propagated.

Note

This will flush the topic buffer.

Parameters:

send(
    topic: str,
    obj: T,
    *,
    evict: bool = True,
    metadata: dict[str, Any] | None = None
) -> None

Send an item to the stream.

This method:

Applies the filter to the metadata associated with this event, skipping streaming this object if the filter returns True.
Adds the object to the internal event buffer for this topic.
Flushes the event buffer once the batch size is reached.

Warning

Careful consideration should be given to the setting of the evict flag. When set to True, the corresponding proxy yielded by the consumer of the stream will only be resolvable once. If you encounter unexpected ProxyResolveMissingKeyError errors, it may be due to proxies from the stream being resolved multiple times but the first resolve triggered an eviction of the underlying data.

Parameters:

topic (str) –

Stream topic to send the object to.
obj (T) –

Object to send via the stream.
evict (bool, default: True ) –

Evict the object from the Store once the object is consumed by a StreamConsumer. Set to False if a single object in the stream will be consumed by multiple consumers. Note that when set to False, data eviction must be handled manually.
metadata (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

Dictionary containing metadata about the object. This can be used by the producer or consumer to filter new object events. The default value None is replaced with an empty dict.

Raises:

TopicClosedError –

if the topic has already been closed via close_topics().
ValueError –

if a store associated with topic is not found in the mapping of topics to stores nor a default store is provided.

StreamConsumer ¶

StreamConsumer(
    subscriber: Subscriber, *, filter_: Filter | None = None
)

Bases: Generic[T]

Proxy stream consumer interface.

This interface acts as an iterator that will yield items from the stream until the stream is closed.

Note

The StreamConsumer can be used as a context manager.

with StreamConsumer(...) as stream:
    for item in stream:
        ...

Tip

This class is generic, so it is recommended that the type of objects in the stream be annotated appropriately.

consumer = StreamConsumer[str](...)
reveal_type(consumer.next())
# Proxy[str]

If the stream is heterogeneous or objects types are not known ahead of time, it may be appropriate to annotate the stream with Any.

consumer = StreamConsumer[Any](...)
reveal_type(consumer.next())
# Proxy[Any]

Warning

If you encounter unexpected ProxyResolveMissingKeyError errors, it may be due to proxies from the stream being resolved multiple times but the first resolve triggered an eviction of the underlying data. If this is the case, confirm that the setting of the evict flag on StreamProducer.send() is set correctly and the there is not code incidentally resolving proxies before you expect.

Note

The consumer is not thread-safe.

Attributes:

subscriber –

Subscriber interface.

Parameters:

subscriber (Subscriber) –

Object which implements the Subscriber protocol. Used to listen for new event messages indicating new objects in the stream.
filter_ (Filter | None, default: None ) –

Optional filter to apply to event metadata received from the stream. If the filter returns True, the event will be dropped (i.e., not yielded back to the user), and the object associated with that event will be deleted if the evict flag was set on the producer side.

This method has the potential side effect of initializing and globally registering a new Store instance.

Raises:
