ax.storage.json_store.encoder module¶

ax.storage.json_store.encoder.object_to_json(obj)[source]¶

The root node passed to this function should always be an instance of a core Ax class or a JSON-compatible python builtin. The sub-fields of the input will then be recursively passed to this function.

e.g. if we pass an instance of Experiment, we will first fall through to the line object_dict = ENCODER_REGISTRY[_type](object), which will convert the Experiment to a (shallow) dictionary, where search subfield remains “unconverted”, i.e.: {“name”: <name: string>, “search_space”: <search space: SearchSpace>}.

This operation should be designed with the reverse operation in mind, which would be the process_result_value method of this class.

Parameters

• dialect (Any) – the Dialect in use.

Return type

Optional[str]

process_result_value(value, dialect)[source]¶

The operation could be anything desired to perform custom behavior, such as transforming or serializing data. This could also be used as a hook for validating logic.

Parameters

• value (Any) – Data to operate upon, of any type expected by this method in the subclass. Can be None.

• dialect (Any) – the Dialect in use.

ax.storage.sqa_store.sqa_config module¶

class ax.storage.sqa_store.sqa_config.SQAConfig[source]¶

Bases: tuple

Metadata needed to save and load an experiment to SQLAlchemy.

class_to_sqa_class¶

Mapping of user-facing class to SQLAlchemy class that it will be encoded to. This allows overwriting of the default classes to provide custom save functionality.

experiment_type_enum¶

Enum containing valid Experiment types.

generator_run_type_enum¶

Enum containing valid Generator Run types.

property class_to_sqa_class

Alias for field number 0

property experiment_type_enum

Alias for field number 1

property generator_run_type_enum

Alias for field number 2

ax.storage.sqa_store.sqa_enum module¶

class ax.storage.sqa_store.sqa_enum.BaseNullableEnum(enum, *arg, **kw)[source]¶

Bases: sqlalchemy.sql.type_api.TypeDecorator

process_bind_param(value, dialect)[source]¶

Receive a bound parameter value to be converted.

Subclasses override this method to return the value that should be passed along to the underlying TypeEngine object, and from there to the DBAPI execute() method.

The operation could be anything desired to perform custom behavior, such as transforming or serializing data. This could also be used as a hook for validating logic.

This operation should be designed with the reverse operation in mind, which would be the process_result_value method of this class.

Parameters

• value (Any) – Data to operate upon, of any type expected by this method in the subclass. Can be None.

• dialect (Any) – the Dialect in use.

Return type

Any

process_result_value(value, dialect)[source]¶

Receive a result-row column value to be converted.

Subclasses should implement this method to operate on data fetched from the database.

Subclasses override this method to return the value that should be passed back to the application, given a value that is already processed by the underlying TypeEngine object, originally from the DBAPI cursor method fetchone() or similar.

The operation could be anything desired to perform custom behavior, such as transforming or serializing data. This could also be used as a hook for validating logic.

Parameters

• value (Any) – Data to operate upon, of any type expected by this method in the subclass. Can be None.

• dialect (Any) – the Dialect in use.

This operation should be designed to be reversible by the “process_bind_param” method of this class.

Return type

Any

process_bind_param(value, dialect)[source]¶

Receive a bound parameter value to be converted.

Subclasses override this method to return the value that should be passed along to the underlying TypeEngine object, and from there to the DBAPI execute() method.

The operation could be anything desired to perform custom behavior, such as transforming or serializing data. This could also be used as a hook for validating logic.

This operation should be designed with the reverse operation in mind, which would be the process_result_value method of this class.

Parameters

• value (Optional[datetime]) – Data to operate upon, of any type expected by this method in the subclass. Can be None.

• dialect (Dialect) – the Dialect in use.

Return type

Optional[int]

process_result_value(value, dialect)[source]¶

Receive a result-row column value to be converted.

Subclasses should implement this method to operate on data fetched from the database.

Subclasses override this method to return the value that should be passed back to the application, given a value that is already processed by the underlying TypeEngine object, originally from the DBAPI cursor method fetchone() or similar.

Parameters

• value (Optional[int]) – Data to operate upon, of any type expected by this method in the subclass. Can be None.

• dialect (Dialect) – the Dialect in use.

This operation should be designed to be reversible by the “process_bind_param” method of this class.

Return type
