Deploy Spark MLlib model with PMML InferenceService

Setup

  1. Install pyspark 3.0.x and pyspark2pmml 
    pip install pyspark~=3.0.0
pip install pyspark2pmml
  2. Get JPMML-SparkML jar

Train a Spark MLlib model and export to PMML file

Launch pyspark with --jars to specify the location of the JPMML-SparkML uber-JAR 

pyspark --jars ./jpmml-sparkml-executable-1.6.3.jar

Fitting a Spark ML pipeline: 

from pyspark.ml import Pipeline
from pyspark.ml.classification import DecisionTreeClassifier
from pyspark.ml.feature import RFormula

df = spark.read.csv("Iris.csv", header = True, inferSchema = True)

formula = RFormula(formula = "Species ~ .")
classifier = DecisionTreeClassifier()
pipeline = Pipeline(stages = [formula, classifier])
pipelineModel = pipeline.fit(df)

from pyspark2pmml import PMMLBuilder

pmmlBuilder = PMMLBuilder(sc, df, pipelineModel)

pmmlBuilder.buildFile("DecisionTreeIris.pmml")

Upload the DecisionTreeIris.pmml to a GCS bucket, note that the PMMLServer expect model file name to be model.pmml 

gsutil cp ./DecisionTreeIris.pmml gs://$BUCKET_NAME/sparkpmml/model.pmml

Create the InferenceService with PMMLServer

Create the InferenceService with pmml predictor and specify the storageUri with bucket location you uploaded to 

apiVersion: "serving.kserve.io/v1beta1"
kind: "InferenceService"
metadata:
  name: "spark-pmml"
spec:
  predictor:
    pmml:
      storageUri: gs://kfserving-examples/models/sparkpmml

apiVersion: "serving.kserve.io/v1beta1"
kind: "InferenceService"
metadata:
  name: "spark-pmml"
spec:
  predictor:
    model:
      modelFormat:
        name: pmml
      storageUri: gs://kfserving-examples/models/sparkpmml

Apply the InferenceService custom resource 

kubectl apply -f spark_pmml.yaml

Expected Output

$ inferenceservice.serving.kserve.io/spark-pmml created

Wait the InferenceService to be ready 

kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready inferenceservice spark-pmml
inferenceservice.serving.kserve.io/spark-pmml condition met

Run a prediction

The first step is to determine the ingress IP and ports and set INGRESS_HOST and INGRESS_PORT

MODEL_NAME=spark-pmml
INPUT_PATH=@./pmml-input.json
SERVICE_HOSTNAME=$(kubectl get inferenceservice spark-pmml -o jsonpath='{.status.url}' | cut -d "/" -f 3)
curl -v -H "Host: ${SERVICE_HOSTNAME}" http://${INGRESS_HOST}:${INGRESS_PORT}/v1/models/$MODEL_NAME:predict -d $INPUT_PATH
