Connection.connection(
    host=None,
    port=443,
    project=None,
    engine=None,

Connection factory method, accessible through hopsworks.connection().

This class provides convenience classmethods accessible from the hopsworks-module:

Connection factory

For convenience, hopsworks provides a factory method, accessible from the top level module, so you don't have to import the Connection class manually:

import hopsworks
conn = hopsworks.connection()

Save API Key as File

To get started quickly, you can simply create a file with the previously created Hopsworks API Key and place it on the environment from which you wish to connect to Hopsworks.

You can then connect by simply passing the path to the key file when instantiating a connection:

    import hopsworks
    conn = hopsworks.connection(
        'my_instance',                      # DNS of your Hopsworks instance
        443,                                # Port to reach your Hopsworks instance, defaults to 443
        api_key_file='hopsworks.key',       # The file containing the API key generated above
        hostname_verification=True)         # Disable for self-signed certificates
    )
    project = conn.get_project("my_project")

Clients in external clusters need to connect to the Hopsworks using an API key. The API key is generated inside the Hopsworks platform, and requires at least the "project" scope to be able to access a project. For more information, see the integration guides.

Arguments

  • host str | None: The hostname of the Hopsworks instance in the form of [UUID].cloud.hopsworks.ai, defaults to None. Do not use the url including https:// when connecting programatically.
  • port int: The port on which the Hopsworks instance can be reached, defaults to 443.
  • project str | None: The name of the project to connect to. When running on Hopsworks, this defaults to the project from where the client is run from. Defaults to None.
  • engine str | None: Which engine to use, "spark", "python" or "training". Defaults to None, which initializes the engine to Spark if the environment provides Spark, for example on Hopsworks and Databricks, or falls back to Python if Spark is not available, e.g. on local Python environments or AWS SageMaker. This option allows you to override this behaviour. "training" engine is useful when only feature store metadata is needed, for example training dataset location and label information when Hopsworks training experiment is conducted.
  • hostname_verification bool: Whether or not to verify Hopsworks' certificate, defaults to True.
  • trust_store_path str | None: Path on the file system containing the Hopsworks certificates, defaults to None.
  • cert_folder str: The directory to store retrieved HopsFS certificates, defaults to "/tmp". Only required when running without a Spark environment.
  • api_key_file str | None: Path to a file containing the API Key, defaults to None.
  • api_key_value str | None: API Key as string, if provided, api_key_file will be ignored, however, this should be used with care, especially if the used notebook or job script is accessible by multiple parties. Defaults to None.

Returns

Connection. Connection handle to perform operations on a Hopsworks project.

Methods#

close#

Connection.close()

Close a connection gracefully.

This will clean up any materialized certificates on the local file system of external environments such as AWS SageMaker.

Usage is recommended but optional.

Example

import hopsworks
conn = hopsworks.connection()
conn.close()

[source]

connect#

Connection.connect()

Instantiate the connection.

Creating a Connection object implicitly calls this method for you to instantiate the connection. However, it is possible to close the connection gracefully with the close() method, in order to clean up materialized certificates. This might be desired when working on external environments such as AWS SageMaker. Subsequently you can call connect() again to reopen the connection.

Example

import hopsworks
conn = hopsworks.connection()
conn.close()
conn.connect()

    host=None,
