[docs]@dataclass(frozen=True) class SchedulerOptions: """Settings for a scheduler instance. Attributes: max_pending_trials: Maximum number of pending trials the scheduler can have ``STAGED`` or ``RUNNING`` at once, required. If looking to use ``Runner.poll_available_capacity`` as a primary guide for how many trials should be pending at a given time, set this limit to a high number, as an upper bound on number of trials that should not be exceeded. trial_type: Type of trials (1-arm ``Trial`` or multi-arm ``Batch Trial``) that will be deployed using the scheduler. Defaults to 1-arm `Trial`. NOTE: use ``BatchTrial`` only if need to evaluate multiple arms *together*, e.g. in an A/B-test influenced by data nonstationarity. For cases where just deploying multiple arms at once is beneficial but the trials are evaluated *independently*, implement ``run_trials`` method in scheduler subclass, to deploy multiple 1-arm trials at the same time. batch_size: If using BatchTrial the number of arms to be generated and deployed per trial. total_trials: Limit on number of trials a given ``Scheduler`` should run. If no stopping criteria are implemented on a given scheduler, exhaustion of this number of trials will be used as default stopping criterion in ``Scheduler.run_all_trials``. Required to be non-null if using ``Scheduler.run_all_trials`` (not required for ``Scheduler.run_n_trials``). tolerated_trial_failure_rate: Fraction of trials in this optimization that are allowed to fail without the whole optimization ending. Expects value between 0 and 1. NOTE: Failure rate checks begin once min_failed_trials_for_failure_rate_check trials have failed; after that point if the ratio of failed trials to total trials ran so far exceeds the failure rate, the optimization will halt. min_failed_trials_for_failure_rate_check: The minimum number of trials that must fail in `Scheduler` in order to start checking failure rate. log_filepath: File, to which to write optimization logs. logging_level: Minimum level of logging statements to log, defaults to ``logging.INFO``. ttl_seconds_for_trials: Optional TTL for all trials created within this ``Scheduler``, in seconds. Trials that remain ``RUNNING`` for more than their TTL seconds will be marked ``FAILED`` once the TTL elapses and may be re-suggested by the Ax optimization models. init_seconds_between_polls: Initial wait between rounds of polling, in seconds. Relevant if using the default wait- for-completed-runs functionality of the base ``Scheduler`` (if ``wait_for_completed_trials_and_report_results`` is not overridden). With the default waiting, every time a poll returns that no trial evaluations completed, wait time will increase; once some completed trial evaluations are found, it will reset back to this value. Specify 0 to not introduce any wait between polls. min_seconds_before_poll: Minimum number of seconds between beginning to run a trial and the first poll to check trial status. timeout_hours: Number of hours after which the optimization will abort. seconds_between_polls_backoff_factor: The rate at which the poll interval increases. run_trials_in_batches: If True and ``poll_available_capacity`` is implemented to return non-null results, trials will be dispatched in groups via `run_trials` instead of one-by-one via ``run_trial``. This allows to save time, IO calls or computation in cases where dispatching trials in groups is more efficient then sequential deployment. The size of the groups will be determined as the minimum of ``self.poll_available_capacity()`` and the number of generator runs that the generation strategy is able to produce without more data or reaching its allowed max paralellism limit. debug_log_run_metadata: Whether to log run_metadata for debugging purposes. early_stopping_strategy: A ``BaseEarlyStoppingStrategy`` that determines whether a trial should be stopped given the current state of the experiment. Used in ``should_stop_trials_early``. global_stopping_strategy: A ``BaseGlobalStoppingStrategy`` that determines whether the full optimization should be stopped or not. suppress_storage_errors_after_retries: Whether to fully suppress SQL storage-related errors if encounted, after retrying the call multiple times. Only use if SQL storage is not important for the given use case, since this will only log, but not raise, an exception if it's encountered while saving to DB or loading from it.
