    Fields
    instancesFormat string

    Required. The format in which instances are given, must be one of the Model's supportedInputStorageFormats .

    source Union type
    Required. The source of the input. source can be only one of the following:
    gcsSource object ( GcsSource )

    The Cloud Storage location for the input instances.

    bigquerySource object ( BigQuerySource )

    The BigQuery location of the input table. The schema of the table should be in the format described by the given context OpenAPI Schema, if one is provided. The table may contain additional columns that are not described by the schema, and they will be ignored.

 }

    InstanceConfig

    Configuration defining how to transform batch prediction input instances to the instances that the Model accepts.

    Fields
    instanceType string

    The format of the instance that the Model accepts. Vertex AI will convert compatible batch prediction input instance formats to the specified format.

    Supported values are:

    • object : Each input is converted to JSON object format.

      • For bigquery , each row is converted to an object.
      • For jsonl , each line of the JSONL input must be an object.
      • Does not apply to csv , file-list , tf-record , or tf-record-gzip .

    • array : Each input is converted to JSON array format.

      • For bigquery , each row is converted to an array. The order of columns is determined by the BigQuery column order, unless includedFields is populated. includedFields must be populated for specifying field orders.
      • For jsonl , if each line of the JSONL input is an object, includedFields must be populated for specifying field orders.
      • Does not apply to csv , file-list , tf-record , or tf-record-gzip .

    If not specified, Vertex AI converts the batch prediction input as follows:

    • For bigquery and csv , the behavior is the same as array . The order of columns is the same as defined in the file or table, unless includedFields is populated.
    • For jsonl , the prediction instance format is determined by each line of the input.
    • For tf-record / tf-record-gzip , each record will be converted to an object in the format of {"b64": <value>} , where <value> is the Base64-encoded string of the content of the record.
    • For file-list , each file in the list will be converted to an object in the format of {"b64": <value>} , where <value> is the Base64-encoded string of the content of the file.
    keyField string

    The name of the field that is considered as a key.

    The values identified by the key field is not included in the transformed instances that is sent to the Model. This is similar to specifying this name of the field in excludedFields . In addition, the batch prediction output will not include the instances. Instead the output will only include the value of the key field, in a field named key in the output:

    • For jsonl output format, the output will have a key field instead of the instance field.
    • For csv / bigquery output format, the output will have have a key column instead of the instance feature columns.

    The input must be JSONL with objects at each line, CSV, BigQuery or TfRecord.

    includedFields[] string

    Fields that will be included in the prediction instance that is sent to the Model.

    If instanceType is array , the order of field names in includedFields also determines the order of the values in the array.

    When includedFields is populated, excludedFields must be empty.

    The input must be JSONL with objects at each line, BigQuery or TfRecord.

    excludedFields[] string

    Fields that will be excluded in the prediction instance that is sent to the Model.

    Excluded will be attached to the batch prediction output if keyField is not specified.

    When excludedFields is populated, includedFields must be empty.

    The input must be JSONL with objects at each line, BigQuery or TfRecord.

    OutputConfig

    Configures the output of BatchPredictionJob . See Model.supported_output_storage_formats for supported output formats, and how predictions are expressed via any of them.

    Fields
    predictionsFormat string

    Required. The format in which Vertex AI gives the predictions, must be one of the Model's supportedOutputStorageFormats .

    destination Union type
    Required. The destination of the output. destination can be only one of the following:
    gcsDestination object ( GcsDestination )

    The Cloud Storage location of the directory where the output is to be written to. In the given directory a new directory is created. Its name is prediction-<model-display-name>-<job-create-time> , where timestamp is in YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssZ ISO-8601 format. Inside of it files predictions_0001.<extension> , predictions_0002.<extension> , ..., predictions_N.<extension> are created where <extension> depends on chosen predictionsFormat , and N may equal 0001 and depends on the total number of successfully predicted instances. If the Model has both instance and prediction schemata defined then each such file contains predictions as per the predictionsFormat . If prediction for any instance failed (partially or completely), then an additional errors_0001.<extension> , errors_0002.<extension> ,..., errors_N.<extension> files are created (N depends on total number of failed predictions). These files contain the failed instances, as per their schema, followed by an additional error field which as value has google.rpc.Status containing only code and message fields.

    bigqueryDestination object ( BigQueryDestination )

    The BigQuery project or dataset location where the output is to be written to. If project is provided, a new dataset is created with name prediction_<model-display-name>_<job-create-time> where is made BigQuery-dataset-name compatible (for example, most special characters become underscores), and timestamp is in YYYY_MM_DDThh_mm_ss_sssZ "based on ISO-8601" format. In the dataset two tables will be created, predictions , and errors . If the Model has both instance and prediction schemata defined then the tables have columns as follows: The predictions table contains instances for which the prediction succeeded, it has columns as per a concatenation of the Model's instance and prediction schemata. The errors table contains rows for which the prediction has failed, it has instance columns, as per the instance schema, followed by a single "errors" column, which as values has google.rpc.Status represented as a STRUCT, and containing only code and message .
