> Pandas UDF is the ideal connection between PySpark and DL model inference
> workload. However, user needs to load the model file first to make
> predictions. It is common to see models of size ~100MB or bigger. If the
> Pandas UDF execution is limited to each batch, user needs to repeatedly load
> the same model for every batch in the same python worker process, which is
> inefficient.
> We can provide users the iterator of batches in pd.DataFrame and let user
> code handle it:
> {code}
> @pandas_udf(DoubleType(), PandasUDFType.SCALAR_ITER)
> def predict(batch_iter):
> model = ... # load model
> for batch in batch_iter:
> yield model.predict(batch)
> {code}
> The type of each batch is:
> * a pd.Series if UDF is called with a single non-struct-type column
> * a tuple of pd.Series if UDF is called with more than one Spark DF columns
> * a pd.DataFrame if UDF is called with a single StructType column
> Examples:
> {code}
> @pandas_udf(...)
> def evaluate(batch_iter):
> model = ... # load model
> for features, label in batch_iter:
> pred = model.predict(features)
> yield (pred - label).abs()
> df.select(evaluate(col("features"), col("label")).alias("err"))
> {code}
> {code}
> @pandas_udf(...)
> def evaluate(pdf_iter):
> model = ... # load model
> for pdf in pdf_iter:
> pred = model.predict(pdf['x'])
> yield (pred - pdf['y']).abs()
> df.select(evaluate(struct(col("features"), col("label"))).alias("err"))
> {code}
> If the UDF doesn't return the same number of records for the entire
> partition, user should see an error. We don't restrict that every yield
> should match the input batch size.
> Another benefit is with iterator interface and asyncio from Python, it is
> flexible for users to implement data pipelining.
