CreateMLTransform - AWS Glue

CreateMLTransform

Creates an AWS Glue machine learning transform. This operation creates the transform and all the necessary parameters to train it.

Call this operation as the first step in the process of using a machine learning transform (such as the FindMatches transform) for deduplicating data. You can provide an optional Description, in addition to the parameters that you want to use for your algorithm.

You must also specify certain parameters for the tasks that AWS Glue runs on your behalf as part of learning from your data and creating a high-quality machine learning transform. These parameters include Role, and optionally, AllocatedCapacity, Timeout, and MaxRetries. For more information, see Jobs.

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

Description

A description of the machine learning transform that is being defined. The default is an empty string.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 2048.

Pattern: [\u0020-\uD7FF\uE000-\uFFFD\uD800\uDC00-\uDBFF\uDFFF\r\n\t]*

Required: No

GlueVersion

This value determines which version of AWS Glue this machine learning transform is compatible with. Glue 1.0 is recommended for most customers. If the value is not set, the Glue compatibility defaults to Glue 0.9. For more information, see AWS Glue Versions in the developer guide.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 255.

Pattern: ^\w+\.\w+$

Required: No

InputRecordTables

A list of AWS Glue table definitions used by the transform.

Type: Array of GlueTable objects

Array Members: Minimum number of 0 items. Maximum number of 10 items.

Required: Yes

MaxCapacity

The number of AWS Glue data processing units (DPUs) that are allocated to task runs for this transform. You can allocate from 2 to 100 DPUs; the default is 10. A DPU is a relative measure of processing power that consists of 4 vCPUs of compute capacity and 16 GB of memory. For more information, see the AWS Glue pricing page.

MaxCapacity is a mutually exclusive option with NumberOfWorkers and WorkerType.

  • If either NumberOfWorkers or WorkerType is set, then MaxCapacity cannot be set.

  • If MaxCapacity is set then neither NumberOfWorkers or WorkerType can be set.

  • If WorkerType is set, then NumberOfWorkers is required (and vice versa).

  • MaxCapacity and NumberOfWorkers must both be at least 1.

When the WorkerType field is set to a value other than Standard, the MaxCapacity field is set automatically and becomes read-only.

When the WorkerType field is set to a value other than Standard, the MaxCapacity field is set automatically and becomes read-only.

Type: Double

Required: No

MaxRetries

The maximum number of times to retry a task for this transform after a task run fails.

Type: Integer

Required: No

Name

The unique name that you give the transform when you create it.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 255.

Pattern: [\u0020-\uD7FF\uE000-\uFFFD\uD800\uDC00-\uDBFF\uDFFF\t]*

Required: Yes

NumberOfWorkers

The number of workers of a defined workerType that are allocated when this task runs.

If WorkerType is set, then NumberOfWorkers is required (and vice versa).

Type: Integer

Required: No

Parameters

The algorithmic parameters that are specific to the transform type used. Conditionally dependent on the transform type.

Type: TransformParameters object

Required: Yes

Role

The name or Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role with the required permissions. The required permissions include both AWS Glue service role permissions to AWS Glue resources, and Amazon S3 permissions required by the transform.

  • This role needs AWS Glue service role permissions to allow access to resources in AWS Glue. See Attach a Policy to IAM Users That Access AWS Glue.

  • This role needs permission to your Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) sources, targets, temporary directory, scripts, and any libraries used by the task run for this transform.

Type: String

Required: Yes

Tags

The tags to use with this machine learning transform. You may use tags to limit access to the machine learning transform. For more information about tags in AWS Glue, see AWS Tags in AWS Glue in the developer guide.

Type: String to string map

Map Entries: Minimum number of 0 items. Maximum number of 50 items.

Key Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.

Value Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 256.

Required: No

Timeout

The timeout of the task run for this transform in minutes. This is the maximum time that a task run for this transform can consume resources before it is terminated and enters TIMEOUT status. The default is 2,880 minutes (48 hours).

Type: Integer

Valid Range: Minimum value of 1.

Required: No

TransformEncryption

The encryption-at-rest settings of the transform that apply to accessing user data. Machine learning transforms can access user data encrypted in Amazon S3 using KMS.

Type: TransformEncryption object

Required: No

WorkerType

The type of predefined worker that is allocated when this task runs. Accepts a value of Standard, G.1X, or G.2X.

  • For the Standard worker type, each worker provides 4 vCPU, 16 GB of memory and a 50GB disk, and 2 executors per worker.

  • For the G.1X worker type, each worker provides 4 vCPU, 16 GB of memory and a 64GB disk, and 1 executor per worker.

  • For the G.2X worker type, each worker provides 8 vCPU, 32 GB of memory and a 128GB disk, and 1 executor per worker.

MaxCapacity is a mutually exclusive option with NumberOfWorkers and WorkerType.

  • If either NumberOfWorkers or WorkerType is set, then MaxCapacity cannot be set.

  • If MaxCapacity is set then neither NumberOfWorkers or WorkerType can be set.

  • If WorkerType is set, then NumberOfWorkers is required (and vice versa).

  • MaxCapacity and NumberOfWorkers must both be at least 1.

Type: String

Valid Values: Standard | G.1X | G.2X | G.025X | G.4X | G.8X | Z.2X

Required: No
