This release makes major changes to data processing in the ingestion layer of Feast. By decoupling ingestion into two phases, Feast v0.2.0 allows Feast to support decentralized serving with centralized feature management.
Change summary:
- A centralized stream is introduced in Feast for managing state for all consuming Feast deployments.
- Ingestion is decoupled and now produces data to the stream instead of starting jobs that directly ingest to stores.
- Feast serving deployments consume from this central feature stream. This consumption is handled by long running jobs.
