Calling Model Service


After completing the online deployment of model version, you can call the deployed model service through the model service interface. The MI Hub supports calling model services through REST API and GRPC.

Calling Model Service via HTTP

The following sample shows how to call the REST API model service via the HTTP protocol.

Getting Model Service Interface URL

The pattern of the model service interface URL is:


{URI-scheme}://{domainName}/eap/metrics/{namespace}/v0.2/{namespace}/{modelName}/{modelName-instanceName-deployment}/api/v1.0/predictions


Where:

  • URI-sheme: protocol, where HTTP protocol is supported.
  • domainName: gateway address of the service, the pattern of which is eap.{enos-environment}.{abc}.com, and the enos-environment is the name of the deployment environment in EnOS.
  • namespace: name of the container resource of the deployment service, as shown in the figure below:
  • modelName: model name.
  • instanceName: name of the model version deployment instance.

Request Sample

By taking the service that calls a certain predictive model as an example, the request format is shown as follows:

url: http://eap.{domainName}/eap/metrics/mmc-dw4pdv-o15960025444321/v0.2/mmc-dw4pdv-o15960025444321/demo01/demo01-instance-deployment/api/v1.0/predictions

method: POST

requestBody:
{
  "data": {
    "names": [
      "AGE",
      "AGE1",
      "AGE1",
      "AGE1"
    ],
    "ndarray": [
      [
        6,
        3,
        2,
        2
      ]
    ]
  }
}

Feedback Interface Request Sample

The feedback interface request format is shown as follows:

url: http://eap.{domainName}/eap/metrics/mmc-dw4pdv-o15960025444321/v0.2/mmc-dw4pdv-o15960025444321/demo01/demo01-instance-deployment/api/v1.0/feedback

methodPOST

requestBody
{
  "request": {
    "data": {
      "names": [
        "AGE",
        "RACE",
        "DCAPS",
        "VOL"
      ],
      "ndarray": [
        [
          1,
          1,
          1,
          100
        ]
      ]
    }
  },
  "response": {
    "meta": {
      "routing": {
        "eg-router": 1
      }
    },
  "data": {
    "names": [
      "t:0",
      "t:1",
      "t:2"
    ],
    "ndarray": [
      [
        0.027491291429107768,
        0.00240284367849394,
        1.0586489239828885E-4
      ]
    ]
  }
  },
  "reward": 1
}


Where:

  • request: input the test data.
  • response: return the real data.
  • data: real prediction results.
  • routing: slot machine deployment parameter, which is used to specify the model version for prediction (according to the model version deployment order).
  • reward: slot machine parameter, which is an activation value.

Calling Model Service via Seldon Client

Based on the framework services provided by Seldon, the MI Hub supports calling the model service API via REST (internal/external) and GRPC after installing the Seldon Client.


The following sample shows how to call the model service API via Seldon Client.

Installing Seldon Client

Currently, the Seldon Client only supports pip installation under Python. When being connected to the public network, it can be installed via Notebook or Python editor. Sample:

pip install seldon_core


After installation, you need to import Seldon Client before calling the code to call the model service. Sample:

from seldon_core.seldon_client import SeldonClient
import seldon_core.seldon_client
import time

Getting Model Service Interface URL

For the method of getting the model service interface URL, see the instructions in Calling Model Service via HTTP.

Calling Service via REST (Internal)

The following sample shows how to call the model services within EnOS:

from seldon_core.seldon_client import SeldonClient
import seldon_core.seldon_client
import time

if __name__ == '__main__':
    sc = SeldonClient(deployment_name="demo01-instance-deployment", # set deployment name
                      namespace="mmc-rd9vj2-o15960025444321", # set namespace where deployment is running
                      gateway_endpoint="istio-ingressgateway.istio-system.svc.cluster.local:80",
                      gateway="istio")

    success_cnt = 0
    failure_cnt = 0
    start_time = time.time()
    range_num = 1
    for i in range (range_num):
        res = sc.predict(transport="rest", json_data=[[1,25,167,1.205,265.133,24.771,860.392,1.181,41.64,1.329,281.878,18.26,
                                                                            852.903,1.389,80.508,13360]])
        if res.success:
            print(res)
            success_cnt = success_cnt + 1
        else:
            print(res)
            failure_cnt = failure_cnt + 1
    end_time = time.time()
    qps = range_num / (end_time - start_time)

    print(success_cnt)
    print(failure_cnt)
    print(qps)

Calling Service via REST (External)

If you need to call the model service outside EnOS, you need to mount the service as an externally accessible API through EnOS API Management, and then call the model service through REST (external). For more information about the EnOS API Management, see About API Management.


The following sample shows how to call the model services outside EnOS:

from seldon_core.seldon_client import SeldonClient
from seldon_core.seldon_client import microservice_api_rest_seldon_message
import seldon_core.seldon_client
import time


if __name__ == '__main__':
    sc = SeldonClient(gateway_endpoint="eap.{enos-environment}.{abc}.com",
                      gateway="istio")

    success_cnt = 0
    failure_cnt = 0
    start_time = time.time()
    range_num = 1
    for i in range (range_num):
        res = sc.predict(gateway_prefix="/eap/metrics/mmc-dw4pdv-o15960025444321/v0.2/mmc-rd9vj2-o15960025444321/demo01/demo01-instance-deployment/",
                         transport="rest", json_data=[[1,25,167,1.205,265.133,24.771,860.392,1.181,41.64,1.329,281.878,18.26,
                                                                            852.903,1.389,80.508,13360]])
        if res.success:
            print(res)
            success_cnt = success_cnt + 1
        else:
            print(res)
            failure_cnt = failure_cnt + 1
    end_time = time.time()
    qps = range_num / (end_time - start_time)

    print(success_cnt)
    print(failure_cnt)
    print(qps)

Calling Service via GRPC

The following sample shows how to call the model services via GRPC:

from seldon_core.seldon_client import SeldonClient
from seldon_core.seldon_client import microservice_api_rest_seldon_message
import seldon_core.seldon_client
import time

if __name__ == '__main__':
    sc = SeldonClient(deployment_name="demo01-instance-deployment", # set deployment name
                      namespace="mmc-rd9vj2-o15960025444321", # set namespace where deployment is running
                      gateway_endpoint="istio-ingressgateway.istio-system.svc.cluster.local:80",
                      gateway="istio")

    success_cnt = 0
    failure_cnt = 0
    start_time = time.time()
    range_num = 1
    for i in range (range_num):
        res = sc.predict(transport="grpc", json_data=[[1,25,167,1.205,265.133,24.771,860.392,1.181,41.64,1.329,281.878,18.26,
                                                                            852.903,1.389,80.508,13360]])
        if res.success:
            print(res)
            success_cnt = success_cnt + 1
        else:
            print(res)
            failure_cnt = failure_cnt + 1
    end_time = time.time()
    qps = range_num / (end_time - start_time)

    print(success_cnt)
    print(failure_cnt)
    print(qps)
