flytekit.ContainerTask#

class flytekit.ContainerTask(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

This is an intermediate class that represents Flyte Tasks that run a container at execution time. This is the vast majority of tasks - the typical @task decorated tasks for instance all run a container. An example of something that doesn’t run a container would be something like the Athena SQL task.

Methods

compile(ctx, *args, **kwargs)[source]#

Generates a node that encapsulates this task in a workflow definition.

Parameters:: ctx (FlyteContext)
Return type:: Tuple[Promise] | Promise | VoidPromise | None

construct_node_metadata()[source]#

Used when constructing the node that encapsulates this task as part of a broader workflow definition.

Return type:: NodeMetadata

dispatch_execute(ctx, input_literal_map)[source]#

This method translates Flyte’s Type system based input values and invokes the actual call to the executor This method is also invoked during runtime.

VoidPromise is returned in the case when the task itself declares no outputs.
Literal Map is returned when the task returns either one more outputs in the declaration. Individual outputs may be none
DynamicJobSpec is returned when a dynamic workflow is executed

Parameters:

ctx (FlyteContext)
input_literal_map (LiteralMap)

Return type:

LiteralMap | DynamicJobSpec | Coroutine

execute(**kwargs)[source]#

This method will be invoked to execute the task.

Return type:: LiteralMap

find_lhs()[source]#

Return type:: str

get_config(settings)[source]#

Returns the task config as a serializable dictionary. This task config consists of metadata about the custom defined for this task.

Parameters:: settings (SerializationSettings)
Return type:: Dict[str, str] | None

get_container(settings)[source]#

Returns the container definition (if any) that is used to run the task on hosted Flyte.

Parameters:: settings (SerializationSettings)
Return type:: Container

get_custom(settings)[source]#

Return additional plugin-specific custom data (if any) as a serializable dictionary.

Parameters:: settings (SerializationSettings)
Return type:: Dict[str, Any] | None

get_extended_resources(settings)[source]#

Returns the extended resources to allocate to the task on hosted Flyte.

Parameters:: settings (SerializationSettings)
Return type:: ExtendedResources | None

get_input_types()[source]#

Returns the names and python types as a dictionary for the inputs of this task.

Return type:: Dict[str, type]

get_k8s_pod(settings)[source]#

Returns the kubernetes pod definition (if any) that is used to run the task on hosted Flyte.

Parameters:: settings (SerializationSettings)
Return type:: K8sPod

get_sql(settings)[source]#

Returns the Sql definition (if any) that is used to run the task on hosted Flyte.

Parameters:: settings (SerializationSettings)
Return type:: Sql | None

get_type_for_input_var(k, v)[source]#

Returns the python type for an input variable by name.

Parameters:

k (str)
v (Any)

Return type:

Type[Any]

get_type_for_output_var(k, v)[source]#

Returns the python type for the specified output variable by name.

Parameters:

k (str)
v (Any)

Return type:

Type[Any]

local_execute(ctx, **kwargs)[source]#

This function is used only in the local execution path and is responsible for calling dispatch execute. Use this function when calling a task with native values (or Promises containing Flyte literals derived from Python native values).

Parameters:: ctx (FlyteContext)
Return type:: Tuple[Promise] | Promise | VoidPromise | Coroutine | None

local_execution_mode()[source]#

Return type:: Mode

post_execute(user_params, rval)[source]#

Post execute is called after the execution has completed, with the user_params and can be used to clean-up, or alter the outputs to match the intended tasks outputs. If not overridden, then this function is a No-op

Parameters:

execute (rval is returned value from call to)
user_params (ExecutionParameters | None) – are the modified user params as created during the pre_execute step
rval (Any)

Return type:

Any

pre_execute(user_params)[source]#

This is the method that will be invoked directly before executing the task method and before all the inputs are converted. One particular case where this is useful is if the context is to be modified for the user process to get some user space parameters. This also ensures that things like SparkSession are already correctly setup before the type transformers are called

This should return either the same context of the mutated context

Parameters:: user_params (ExecutionParameters | None)
Return type:: ExecutionParameters | None

sandbox_execute(ctx, input_literal_map)[source]#

Call dispatch_execute, in the context of a local sandbox execution. Not invoked during runtime.

Parameters:

ctx (FlyteContext)
input_literal_map (LiteralMap)

Return type:

LiteralMap

disable_deck: If true, this task will not output deck html file
