online_read_async
method to Postgres Online Store
#4260
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
With the implementation of
get_online_features_async
to theFeatureStore
class (Issue and PR),online_read_async
methods are required for each online store in order to be able to retrieve features in an async manner.This issue aims to implement this for the Postgres Online Store.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add a
online_read_async
method to Postgres Online Store.However, the current Postgres implementation within
feast
leveragespsycopg2
, which doesn't support async operations. The newer version -psycopg3
- does however support this.Therefore, we would like to propose to implement this change with two separate PRs:
psycopg2
dependency to usepsycopg3
. The latter tries to behave as close as possible to the former, however, there are a few differences that need to be accounted for. A full list of difference can be found here.online_read_async
method on the Postgres Online Store.Would love to hear your thoughts on this approach before I start working on this!
Describe alternatives you've considered
Another library to handle async postgres operations is asyncpg. However, this repos latest release was 5 Nov, 2023. Furthermore, the last commit was three months ago, and the last 7 months only 5 commits are made in total. Since this seems quite limited, we don't think it would be a good move to add this library to the dependencies for the postgres extension within feast.
