SparkTrainingStats (deeplearning4j 1.0.0-beta7 API)

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

CommonSparkTrainingStats, ParameterAveragingTrainingMasterStats, ParameterAveragingTrainingWorkerStats
```
public interface SparkTrainingStats
extends Serializable
```
SparkTrainingStats is an interface that is used for accessing training statistics, for multiple TrainingMaster implementations.
The idea is that for debugging purposes, we want to collect a number of statistics related to the training. However, these statistics will vary, depending on which the type of training we are doing. Specifically, both the keys (number/names of stats) and their actual values (types/classes) can vary.
The interface here operates essentially as a Map<String,Object>. Note however that SparkTrainingStats instances may be nested: for example a ParameterAveragingTrainingMasterStats may have a CommonSparkTrainingStats instance which may in turn have a ParameterAveragingTrainingWorkerStats instance.

- Method Detail
  - getKeySet
```
Set<String> getKeySet()
```
    Returns:
    
    Set of keys that can be used with getValue(String)
  - getValue
```
List<EventStats> getValue(String key)
```
    Get the statistic value for this key
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - Key to get the value for
    
    Returns:
    
    Statistic for this key, or an exception if key is invalid
  - getShortNameForKey
```
String getShortNameForKey(String key)
```
    Return a short (display) name for the given key.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - Key
    
    Returns:
    
    Short/display name for key
  - defaultIncludeInPlots
```
boolean defaultIncludeInPlots(String key)
```
    When plotting statistics, we don't necessarily want to plot everything. For example, some statistics/measurements are made up multiple smaller components; it does not always make sense to plot both the larger stat, and the components that make it up
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - Key to check for default plotting behaviour
    
    Returns:
    
    Whether the specified key should be included in plots by default or not
  - addOtherTrainingStats
```
void addOtherTrainingStats(SparkTrainingStats other)
```
    Combine the two training stats instances. Usually, the two objects must be of the same type
    
    Parameters:
    
    other - Other training stats to return
  - getNestedTrainingStats
```
SparkTrainingStats getNestedTrainingStats()
```
    Return the nested training stats - if any.
    
    Returns:
    
    The nested stats, if present/applicable, or null otherwise
  - statsAsString
```
String statsAsString()
```
    Get a String representation of the stats. This functionality is implemented as a separate method (as opposed to toString()) as the resulting String can be very large.
    NOTE: The String representation typically includes only duration information. To get full statistics (including machine IDs, etc) use getValue(String) or export full data via exportStatFiles(String, SparkContext)
    
    Returns:
    
    A String representation of the training statistics
  - exportStatFiles
```
void exportStatFiles(String outputPath,
                     org.apache.spark.SparkContext sc)
              throws IOException
```
    Export the stats as a collection of files. Stats are comma-delimited (CSV) with 1 header line
    
    Parameters:
    
    outputPath - Base directory to write files to
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
