Collect features from the sltr query
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Currently feature collection in mjolnir runs a multi-search for each feature individually. Now that the ltr plugin is (or soon will be) available in prod and relforge it would be good to switch this over to collecting features from the ltr query as well.

@dcausse I know you were looking for somewhere to start in the mjolnir codebase, this might be as reasonable a place as any.

I started to work on feature logging from the plugin, I think I'll continue on the plugin and use it in mjolnir.
Problem right now is that I can only obtain the explain output from a model, it means that a dummy model must be created before the fact. Logging inside the plugin should work with feature set and exisiting models.
So because both options (logging in the plugin vs explain) require some work in the plugin:

  • implement logging
  • extend sltr query to accept a featureset

I prefer to go with the long term approach and implement proper feature logging (unless there's some urgency in doing otherwise)?

Proper feature logging sounds great to me, @dcausse :)

dcausse renamed this task from Collect features from the explain of an sltr query to Collect features from the sltr query.Jun 29 2017, 4:42 PM
dcausse updated the task description. (Show Details)

Feature logging in the plugin is written and can be reviewed: https://github.com/o19s/elasticsearch-learning-to-rank/pull/54
I'll now work on mjolnir.
