<div class="section" id="">
<span id="id2"></span><h2>流程介绍<a class="headerlink" href="#" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>生产环境中的训练数据集通常体积很大，并被存储在诸如Hadoop HDFS，Ceph，AWS S3之类的分布式存储之上。这些分布式存储服务通常会把数据切割成多个分片分布式的存储在多个节点之上。这样就可以在云端执行多种数据类计算任务，包括：</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>数据预处理任务</li>
<li>Paddle训练任务</li>
<li>在线模型预测服务</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="src/paddle-cloud-in-data-center.png" width="500"/></p>
<p>在上图中显示了在一个实际生产环境中的应用（人脸识别）的数据流图。生产环境的日志数据会通过实时流的方式（Kafka）和离线数据的方式（HDFS）存储，并在集群中运行多个分布式数据处理任务，比如流式数据处理（online data process），离线批处理（offline data process）完成数据的预处理，提供给paddle作为训练数据。用于也可以上传labeled data到分布式存储补充训练数据。在paddle之上运行的深度学习训练输出的模型会提供给在线人脸识别的应用使用。</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="">
<span id="id3"></span><h2>训练数据的存储<a class="headerlink" href="#" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>选择CephFS作为训练数据的存储服务。</p>
<p>在Kubernetes上运行的不同的计算框架，可以通过Volume或PersistentVolume挂载存储空间到每个容器中。</p>
<p>在CephFS存储系统中的公开目录，需要保存一些预置的公开数据集（比如MNIST, BOW, ImageNet数据集等），并且可以被提交的job直接使用。</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="">
<span id="id4"></span><h2>文件预处理<a class="headerlink" href="#" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>在数据集可以被训练之前，文件需要预先被转换成PaddlePaddle集群内部的存储格式（RecordIO）。我们提供两个转换方式：</p>
<ol class="simple">
<li>用户在本地转换好再上传</li>
<li>用户上传数据后，在机群上运行转换程序</li>
</ol>
<p>转换生成的文件名会是以下格式：</p>
<div class="highlight-text"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>name_prefix-aaaaa-of-bbbbb
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>&#8220;aaaaa&#8221;和&#8221;bbbbb&#8221;都是五位的数字，每一个文件是数据集的一个shard，&#8221;aaaaa&#8221;代表shard的index，&#8221;bbbbb&#8221;代表这个shard的最大index。</p>
<p>比如ImageNet这个数据集可能被分成1000个shard，它们的文件名是：</p>
<div class="highlight-text"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>imagenet-00000-of-00999
imagenet-00001-of-00999
...
imagenet-00999-of-00999
</pre></div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="">
<span id="id5"></span><h3>转换库<a class="headerlink" href="#" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>无论是在本地或是云端转换，我们都提供Python的转换库，接口是：</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">convert</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">output_path</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">reader</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">num_shards</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">name_prefix</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<ul class="simple">
<li><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">output_path</span></code>: directory in which output files will be saved.</li>
<li><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">reader</span></code>: a <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/doc/design/reader/README.md#data-reader-interface">data reader</a>, from which the convert program will read data instances.</li>

<li><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">name_prefix</span></code>: the name prefix of generated files.</li>
</ul>
<p><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">reader</span></code>每次输出一个data instance，这个instance可以是单个值，或者用tuple表示的多个值：</p>

<p>每个值的类型可以是整形、浮点型数据、字符串，或者由它们组成的list，以及numpy.ndarray。如果是其它类型，会被Pickle序列化成字符串。</p>
