Hi. What’s an easy way to halt the execution of a pipeline run when a solid raises

Failure

? I naively thought that would stop it, but it seems like I need to use conditional branching to achieve it? Is there an example somewhere? I am having a bit of hard time grasping how I can apply it.

Hi, trying to run a Dagster POC on our Kubernetes cluster using the helm chart. We maintain our secrets using Vault and want to load the Postgres DB password from Vault. Is there any example on how this can be done in the Helm chart?

Hey all, quick 1 - if we write pickles during intermediary load steps (e.g. extract, transform etc.) to the file system on a K8 Helm deployment in Dagster, are we not really able to do this given that one of multiple machines may service the pod in the back-end? I.e., is it better if we write these tables to storage e.g. postgres instead ? It's quite possible I've answered my own questions but looking for a second opinion from someone more experienced. Cheers

I have a pipeline run that went on for long and generated A LOT of log events, and now when I try and open it in Dagit, I get this session timeout message. This is Dagster 0.10.4 running on Kubernetes, with the database being a RDS PostgreSQL instance (v12.5). The instance type was originally

db.t3.micro

, which is grossly underpowered. I recently scaled it up to

db.m6g.large

, restarted the Dagit deployment, yet the issue persists. I'd like some clues on how exactly this issue appears, and what I many be able to do about it.

Has anyone using PyCharm run into a the TypeChecker inspection getting triggered by different decorator arguments like this:

Expected type '_SpecialForm[bool]', got 'bool' instead

It mostly just happens when constructing an OutputDefinition but I’ve seen it trigger in the

@resource

decorator as well. The only problem it actually is causing is that it makes it more tedious looking for Inspections that actually matter.

Hi all, hitting a wall trying to set up a queued coordinator. Daemon running, dagit running, and ran the grpc with:

dagster api grpc --python-file pipelines/my_repo.py --attribute my_repository --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8889

But every pipeline fails with:

AttributeError: module 'grpc' has no attribute 'insecure_channel'

Seen this before?

Hi Team, Is it possible to create dynamic pipeline based off some metadata.

eg: 
task-group   seq
A             1
B             1
C             2

task   seq task-group
a1       1.  A  
a2       1.  A
b1       1.  B
b2       2.  B
c3       1.  C

task-group is only a logical wrapper that helps to group and control the execution flow, maybe composite solids are a fit here
tasks are essentially solids, say

@solid
def a1():
  pass

Execution flow:
Task group A and B starts parallely (seq=1) and the task a1, a2 run parallel (seq=1) but b2 runs only after b1 is complete. c3 starts after tasks in Task group A and B are complete.

Now based off this metadata that resides in file or DB - is it possible to create a dynamic pipeline?

I think I just found a bug in how custom materializers/loaders are used in

dagster_pandas

. I haven't done any development on dagster before, but I created a PR. I'm not sure how to do about this from here on out: https://github.com/dagster-io/dagster/pull/4179

further from this, I'm getting an error when creating a custom pandas datatype if the dataframe has a Timestamp object in it.

An unexpected exception was thrown. Please file an issue.
TypeError: Object of type Timestamp is not JSON serializable

I have just started going down the path of a custom materializer, but then thought I should ask if there's any guidance on how to handle this?

I also noticed the error is actually being thrown from serdes parts of dagster, so would a custom materializer work?

Hey, how does

intermediate_storage_defs

relate to pipeline level

io_manager

's ? Our current mode_defs have intermediate storage and at some places we use io_manager in solids, if I set

<http://resources.io|resources.io>_manager

can/should I delete ``intermediate_storage_defs` from the mode definitions ?

Hey there, wondering if there is a recommended way to handle pipeline versions? For example in a situation where the pipeline changes on the more frequent side, but you also would want to be able to run the older versions of the pipeline if needed. One way I can think of right now is to add new solids to the grpc and dynamically create new pipelines with the DSL using a set of YAML files, but that could potentially get pretty messy. Would there be a better pattern to organize this?

Hey 👋 I’ve been getting the same “framework error” on a pipeline I tried running twice. Curious if you know of ways to debug this? This is running on Kubernetes — the pod did not reach the CPU or Memory limits, and is marked as

Status:Terminated

and

Reason: Completed

.

An exception was thrown during execution that is likely a framework error, rather than an error in user code.

Hi, is there a way to get a specific output by name from a composite solid that yields multiple outputs? We have some functions that generate composites and the returned composites can have a variable number of outputs, and it would be useful to be able to get a subset of those outputs based on a list of the output names. I see a way we could implement it by wrapping the generated composite in another composite that yields the requested outputs, but if this functionality is already part of Dagster, that would be great to know. thanks!

Hi. I’m getting stumped on something that seems simple or maybe I am just getting confused. I have the following 2 dbt solids, one that only runs changed models and the other runs all models. :

state_modified_config_in_test = {"project-dir": PROJECT_DIR, "models": ["state:modified"], "target": "test"}
run_only_changed_models_in_test = dbt_cli_run.configured(state_modified_config_in_test,
                                                        name="run_only_changed_models_in_test")

run_all_config_in_test = {"project-dir": PROJECT_DIR, "target": "test"}
run_all_models_in_test = dbt_cli_run.configured(run_all_config_in_test, name="run_all_models_in_test")

I want to be able to conditionally run them depending on if the

run

directory exists under the target directory. I read up on conditional branching but what I am not sure how to do is to conditionally invoke one of the dbt solids. I tried using a composite solid to pass in the yielded output but since the dbt solid does not take any input argument, I get the unused input error for the composite solid. Is there a way to work around it or a better way to achieve it?

Hey, if I wanted to map multiple solids to a DynamicOutput can I just chain the map statements? In the example from https://docs.dagster.io/0.11.3/concepts/solids-pipelines/pipelines#dynamic-mapping--collect Or would I just have each mapped solid return a Dynamic output and map to that?

I'm pretty sure I know the answer here,, but I just want to verify: Is it possible to access a SolidExecutionContext from a composite solid?

Hey, I am trying to work out how to deploy into a dagit into a kubernetes where the user deployment is in a image that requires pull secrets, and the imagePullSecrets never seem to get used, am I missing a step or something here, I also can’t see how to pass the secret on to the Run Worker

Has anyone here successfully implemented authentication to the Graphql API endpoint with AWS load balancer and Cognito? I am looking to require authentication for hitting the Graphql API.

Document processing. Hello, I have a few questions coming up with this use case. I have a bunch of document I want to process. Those documents have different template. For the example, I want to extract some meta data on both types. First I concentrate on the first document then I might change my pipeline to take both types. I want my pipeline just execute at the minimum. Document already extracted do nothing, other extract. How can I do that ? How can I see if an asset is already there ? Other questions I might not think about

Hey, is there an easy way to pass a list in yaml to a solid? When I try to pass one it says something like: Expected one value in list either json, pickle or value. Or am I better off passing in a json list and having my solid input set as a string?

Hey, posting again - getting:

An exception was thrown during execution that is likely a framework error, rather than an error in user code.
dagster.core.errors.DagsterInvariantViolationError: Could not find pipeline 'redshift_checks'. Found ['y', 'z']

This is happening on a pipeline that has a first solid with a step that outputs a DynamicOutput which I think is somewhat related to this. For whatever reason it runs fine when I execute it locally with preset and mode not listed here, but when I run it in k8s with this config it returns the above error. It loads fine in dagit & playground but not when execution is launched. I'm using version 0.11.3 Pipeline def:

@pipeline(
    mode_defs=[
        ModeDefinition(
            name="production",
            resource_defs={
                "redshift": redshift_resource,
                "slack": slack_resource,
                "s3": s3_resource,
                "io_manager": s3_pickle_io_manager
                },
            executor_defs=default_executors + [celery_k8s_job_executor],
        ),
    ],
    preset_defs=[
        PresetDefinition.from_files(
            name="celery_k8s",
            mode="production",
            config_files=[
                    'celery_k8s.yaml',
                    'redshift_config.yaml', -- contains the env info for redshift resource
                    'redshift_queries.yaml', -- contains the list of dicts to run queries
            ]
        ),
    ]
)
def redshift_checks():
    redshift_yaml_map().map(redshift_data_check)

could this be related to the dynamic output with k8s processing / is this something that updating would solve?

Hi. I have a pipeline which runs once a day and produces an output which is saved to S3 and tracked using the asset catalogue, using the date to partition the asset. I attach the S3 object key of the saved output as metadata so I know where to load the object from later on. I then have a second pipeline the input to which should be the output from the first pipeline for a range of partitions (i.e. dates). I think I could write a GraphQL query to get the S3 object keys for the asset for the given partitions. Does this sound like a reasonable approach, or does Dagster have any patterns / concepts that fit this use case? Thanks

Hi. I have a pipeline running on K8S with the K8SRunLauncher and QueuedRunCoordinator. I'm launching runs via the graphql python client. The idea is that python script loops over 1000 files and launches a run for each. This part seem to work. Once all the runs are submitted and the QueuedRunCoordinator is working through them, eventually the dagit pods on K8S crash and the dagit UI becomes unresponsive. The dagit pods restart themselves on K8S but continue to be unresponsive and never recover. My only way out of this crash loop is to kill all the pods and restart from scratch. Any thoughts about why this is happening? I currently have the dagster daemon pod, the dagit pod (with 2 replicas), the user deployment pod and the postgresql pod.

hi… how can i set environment variable in dagster.yaml under

scheduler

?

hey team, is there any way to use type checking in solid's

config_schema

(arbitrary types). As a workaround we can use inputs and configure it in the

run_config

. But I would like to do it in code. Can I codify solid static inputs (not in run_config) ?

Is there a way to modify or create a resource during a run? For example if a new database is created as part of the pipeline, is there a way to make it available to other solids without having to pass that through every input/output?

Hi, Is there a way to set version (as in Versioning and Memoization) for dagstermill solids? Thank you!
