The file path is required to be the same on any 2 machines and is
explicitly in the metadata. If you have the deploy machine dir in a different
path than the train machine dir (actually the build dir in 0.10.0) you'll get
the completely incomprehensible "one for one" failure. At least this is one
reason for it.
This IMO is a major confusion point in PIO. Therefore I still think the ID
should be explicit and engine-id and engine-version should be eradicated
completely.
Can someone please tell me why we need anything more than
- a dataset-id (app)
- a model-id, which points to metadata used to create a model from a
dataset
- the metadata would contain the specific engine.json data used and the
dataset-id (actually the appName in the engine but we need to remove this too)
so it would connect the model-id to the dataset-id with all data needed to
create the model from the dataset.
In all commands (but one) this would allow the metadata to be retrieved
from the metastore.
We can then re-do the CLI to be completely stateless, and not require
anything be copied between machines except a common knowledge of IDs.
I will write up a proposal for this, maybe it will make sense but at least
we can discuss it in concrete terms.
