Development Guide: feast-java

The higher level Development Guide gives contributing to Feast codebase as a whole.

Overview

This guide is targeted at developers looking to contribute to Feast components in the feast-java Repository:

Don't see the Feast component that you want to contribute to here?
Check out the Development Guide to learn how Feast components are distributed over multiple repositories.

Common Setup

Common Environment Setup for all feast-java Feast components:

  1. feast-java contains submodules that need to be updated:
git submodule init
git submodule update --recursive
  1. Ensure following development tools are installed:
  • Java SE Development Kit 11, Maven 3.6, make

Code Style

feast-java's codebase conforms to the Google Java Style Guide.

Automatically format the code to conform the style guide by:

# formats all code in the feast-java repository
mvn spotless:apply

If you're using IntelliJ, you can import these code style settings if you'd like to use the IDE's reformat function.

Project Makefile

The Project Makefile provides useful shorthands for common development tasks:

Run all Unit tests:

make test-java

Run all Integration tests:

make test-java-integration

Building Docker images for Feast Core & Feast Serving:

make build-docker REGISTRY=gcr.io/kf-feast VERSION=develop

Feast Core

Environment Setup

Setting up your development environment for Feast Core:

  1. Complete the feast-java Common Setup
  2. Boot up a PostgreSQL instance (version 11 and above). Example of doing so via Docker:
# spawn a PostgreSQL instance as a Docker container running in the background
docker run \
    --rm -it -d \
    --name postgres \
    -e POSTGRES_DB=postgres \
    -e POSTGRES_USER=postgres \
    -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password \
    -p 5432:5432 postgres:12-alpine

Configuration

Feast Core is configured using it's application.yml.

Building and Running

  1. Build / Compile Feast Core with Maven to produce an executable Feast Core JAR
mvn package -pl core --also-make -Dmaven.test.skip=true
  1. Run Feast Core using the built JAR:
# where X.X.X is the version of the Feast Core JAR built
java -jar core/target/feast-core-X.X.X-exec.jar

Unit / Integration Tests

Unit & Integration Tests can be used to verify functionality:

# run unit tests
mvn test -pl core --also-make
# run integration tests
mvn verify -pl core --also-make

Feast Serving

Environment Setup

Setting up your development environment for Feast Serving:

  1. Complete the feast-java Common Setup
  2. Boot up a Redis instance (version 5.x). Example of doing so via Docker:
docker run --name redis --rm -it -d -p 6379:6379 redis:5-alpine

Feast Serving requires a running Feast Core instance to retrieve Feature metadata in order to serve features. See the Feast Core section for how to get a Feast Core instance running.

Configuration

Feast Serving is configured using it's application.yml.

Building and Running

  1. Build / Compile Feast Serving with Maven to produce an executable Feast Serving JAR
mvn package -pl serving --also-make -Dmaven.test.skip=true 

2. Run Feast Serving using the built JAR:
```sh
# where X.X.X is the version of the Feast serving JAR built
java -jar serving/target/feast-serving-X.X.X-exec.jar

Unit / Integration Tests

Unit & Integration Tests can be used to verify functionality:

# run unit tests
mvn test -pl serving --also-make
# run integration tests
mvn verify -pl serving --also-make

Feast Java Client

Environment Setup

Setting up your development environment for Feast Java SDK:

  1. Complete the feast-java Common Setup

Feast Java Client is a Java Client for retrieving Features from a running Feast Serving instance.
See the Feast Serving Section section for how to get a Feast Serving instance running.

Configuration

Feast Java Client is configured as code

Building

  1. Build / Compile Feast Java Client with Maven:
mvn package -pl sdk/java --also-make -Dmaven.test.skip=true

Unit Tests

Unit Tests can be used to verify functionality:

mvn package -pl sdk/java test --also-make
