Create a batch prediction job.

Parameters

Name	Description
job_display_name	`str` Required. The user-defined name of the BatchPredictionJob. The name can be up to 128 characters long and can be consist of any UTF-8 characters.
model_name	`str` Required. A fully-qualified model resource name or model ID. Example: "projects/123/locations/us-central1/models/456" or "456" when project and location are initialized or passed.
instances_format	`str` Required. The format in which instances are given, must be one of "jsonl", "csv", "bigquery", "tf-record", "tf-record-gzip", or "file-list". Default is "jsonl" when using `gcs_source`. If a `bigquery_source` is provided, this is overriden to "bigquery".
predictions_format	`str` Required. The format in which AI Platform gives the predictions, must be one of "jsonl", "csv", or "bigquery". Default is "jsonl" when using `gcs_destination_prefix`. If a `bigquery_destination_prefix` is provided, this is overriden to "bigquery".
gcs_source	`Optional[Sequence[str]]` Google Cloud Storage URI(-s) to your instances to run batch prediction on. They must match `instances_format`. May contain wildcards. For more information on wildcards, see https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/gsutil/addlhelp/WildcardNames.
bigquery_source	`Optional[str]` BigQuery URI to a table, up to 2000 characters long. For example: `projectId.bqDatasetId.bqTableId`
gcs_destination_prefix	`Optional[str]` The Google Cloud Storage location of the directory where the output is to be written to. In the given directory a new directory is created. Its name is `prediction-<model-display-name>-<job-create-time>`, where timestamp is in YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssZ ISO-8601 format. Inside of it files `predictions_0001.<extension>`, `predictions_0002.<extension>`, ..., `predictions_N.<extension>` are created where `<extension>` depends on chosen `predictions_format`, and N may equal 0001 and depends on the total number of successfully predicted instances. If the Model has both `instance` and `prediction` schemata defined then each such file contains predictions as per the `predictions_format`. If prediction for any instance failed (partially or completely), then an additional `errors_0001.<extension>`, `errors_0002.<extension>`,..., `errors_N.<extension>` files are created (N depends on total number of failed predictions). These files contain the failed instances, as per their schema, followed by an additional `error` field which as value has `google.rpc.Status
bigquery_destination_prefix	`Optional[str]` The BigQuery project location where the output is to be written to. In the given project a new dataset is created with name `prediction_<model-display-name>_<job-create-time>` where is made BigQuery-dataset-name compatible (for example, most special characters become underscores), and timestamp is in YYYY_MM_DDThh_mm_ss_sssZ "based on ISO-8601" format. In the dataset two tables will be created, `predictions`, and `errors`. If the Model has both `instance` and `prediction` schemata defined then the tables have columns as follows: The `predictions` table contains instances for which the prediction succeeded, it has columns as per a concatenation of the Model's instance and prediction schemata. The `errors` table contains rows for which the prediction has failed, it has instance columns, as per the instance schema, followed by a single "errors" column, which as values has `google.rpc.Status
model_parameters	`Optional[Dict]` The parameters that govern the predictions. The schema of the parameters may be specified via the Model's `parameters_schema_uri`.
machine_type	`Optional[str]` The type of machine for running batch prediction on dedicated resources. Not specifying machine type will result in batch prediction job being run with automatic resources.
accelerator_type	`Optional[str]` The type of accelerator(s) that may be attached to the machine as per `accelerator_count`. Only used if `machine_type` is set.
accelerator_count	`Optional[int]` The number of accelerators to attach to the `machine_type`. Only used if `machine_type` is set.
starting_replica_count	`Optional[int]` The number of machine replicas used at the start of the batch operation. If not set, AI Platform decides starting number, not greater than `max_replica_count`. Only used if `machine_type` is set.
max_replica_count	`Optional[int]` The maximum number of machine replicas the batch operation may be scaled to. Only used if `machine_type` is set. Default is 10.
generate_explanation	`bool` Optional. Generate explanation along with the batch prediction results. This will cause the batch prediction output to include explanations based on the `prediction_format`: - `bigquery`: output includes a column named `explanation`. The value is a struct that conforms to the [aiplatform.gapic.Explanation] object. - `jsonl`: The JSON objects on each line include an additional entry keyed `explanation`. The value of the entry is a JSON object that conforms to the [aiplatform.gapic.Explanation] object. - `csv`: Generating explanations for CSV format is not supported.
explanation_metadata	`aiplatform.explain.ExplanationMetadata` Optional. Explanation metadata configuration for this BatchPredictionJob. Can be specified only if `generate_explanation` is set to `True`. This value overrides the value of `Model.explanation_metadata`. All fields of `explanation_metadata` are optional in the request. If a field of the `explanation_metadata` object is not populated, the corresponding field of the `Model.explanation_metadata` object is inherited. For more details, see `Ref docs <http://tinyurl.com/1igh60kt>`
explanation_parameters	`aiplatform.explain.ExplanationParameters` Optional. Parameters to configure explaining for Model's predictions. Can be specified only if `generate_explanation` is set to `True`. This value overrides the value of `Model.explanation_parameters`. All fields of `explanation_parameters` are optional in the request. If a field of the `explanation_parameters` object is not populated, the corresponding field of the `Model.explanation_parameters` object is inherited. For more details, see `Ref docs <http://tinyurl.com/1an4zake>`
labels	`Optional[dict]` The labels with user-defined metadata to organize your BatchPredictionJobs. Label keys and values can be no longer than 64 characters (Unicode codepoints), can only contain lowercase letters, numeric characters, underscores and dashes. International characters are allowed. See https://goo.gl/xmQnxf for more information and examples of labels.
credentials	`Optional[auth_credentials.Credentials]` Custom credentials to use to create this batch prediction job. Overrides credentials set in aiplatform.init.
encryption_spec_key_name	`Optional[str]` Optional. The Cloud KMS resource identifier of the customer managed encryption key used to protect the job. Has the form: `projects/my-project/locations/my-region/keyRings/my-kr/cryptoKeys/my-key`. The key needs to be in the same region as where the compute resource is created. If this is set, then all resources created by the BatchPredictionJob will be encrypted with the provided encryption key. Overrides encryption_spec_key_name set in aiplatform.init.
sync	`bool` Whether to execute this method synchronously. If False, this method will be executed in concurrent Future and any downstream object will be immediately returned and synced when the Future has completed.

Returns

Type	Description
(jobs.BatchPredictionJob)	Instantiated representation of the created batch prediction job.

iter_outputs

iter_outputs(bq_max_results: Optional[int] = 100)

Returns an Iterable object to traverse the output files, either a list of GCS Blobs or a BigQuery RowIterator depending on the output config set when the BatchPredictionJob was created.

Exceptions

Type	Description
RuntimeError	If BatchPredictionJob is in a JobState other than SUCCEEDED, since outputs cannot be retrieved until the Job has finished.
NotImplementedError	If BatchPredictionJob succeeded and output_info does not have a GCS or BQ output provided.

Returns

Type	Description
Union[Iterable[storage.Blob], Iterable[bigquery.table.RowIterator]]	Either a list of GCS Blob objects within the prediction output directory or an iterable BigQuery RowIterator with predictions.
