How to Connect MaxCompute with SQLFlow

This tutorial explains how to connect SQLFlow with MaxCompute (a.k.a ODPS).

Connect Existing MaxCompute Server

To connect an existed MaxCompute server instance, we need to configure a datasource string in the format of
maxcompute://{accesskey_id}:{accesskey_secret}@{endpoint}?curr_project={curr_project}&scheme={scheme}

In the above format,

  • accesskey_id:accesskey_secret are the API keys for you to access aliyun. You may find it at the user center of aliyun after login.

  • endpoint. You may find it through the workbench of aliyun and the configure endpoints. In the workbench page, let's find the region in the workspace block, e.g.China North 2. Then, in the configure endpoints page, we may find out the public endpoint corresponding to the region, in this case, is service.cn-beijing.maxcompute.aliyun-inc.com/api.

    Note: please be aware that the whole endpoint is http://service.cn-beijing.maxcompute.aliyun-inc.com/api. We just take service.cn-beijing.maxcompute.aliyun-inc.com/api as the endpoint and the protocol(http) as scheme for the datasource.

  • curr_project specifies the workspace name. Let's find it out in the basic information of the workspace setting.

  • scheme specifies the connection protocol of the endpoint. Both http and https are supported. If you need to encrypt your requests, use https.

Using the datasource, you may launch an all-in-one Docker container by running:

> docker run --rm -p 8888:8888 sqlflow/sqlflow bash -c \
"sqlflowserver & \
SQLFLOW_DATASOURCE='maxcompute://{accesskey_id}:{accesskey_secret}@{endpoint}?curr_project={curr_project}&scheme={scheme}' \
SQLFLOW_SERVER=localhost:50051 \
jupyter notebook --ip=0.0.0.0 --port=8888 --allow-root --NotebookApp.token=''"

Open localhost:8888 through a web browser, you will find there are many SQLFlow tutorials, e.g. iris-dnn.ipynb. Please follow the tutorials and substitute the data for your use.

Create a MaxCompute Instance for Testing

Aliyun supplies a development version that is suitable as a testing environment. Follow the tutorial Create Workspace, we could create a MaxCompute instance for testing. The development version has some capacity limitations. If you wanna play the testing on a large dataset, please turn to the standard version.

Then, according to the above section, we could build a datasource and launch a container.
