<h1 id="how-to-use-largefiles">How to use LargeFiles<a class="headerlink" href="#how-to-use-largefiles" title="Permanent link">#</a></h1>
<p>The functions <a class="autorefs autorefs-internal" href="../../reference/#great_ai.use_model">save_model</a> and <a class="autorefs autorefs-internal" href="../../reference/#great_ai.use_model">@use_model</a> wrap LargeFile instances. Hence, besides configuring <a href="/reference/large-file">LargeFile</a>, users have few reasons to use LargeFiles directly.</p>
<h2 id="motivation">Motivation<a class="headerlink" href="#motivation" title="Permanent link">#</a></h2>
<p>Often, especially when working with data-heavy applications, large files can proliferate in a repository. Version controlling them is an obvious next step. However, GitHub's git LFS implementation <a href="https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/managing-large-files/removing-files-from-git-large-file-storage#git-lfs-objects-in-your-repository">doesn't support deleting</a> large files, making it easy for them to eat-up the LFS quota and explode the size of your repos.</p>
<p><a href="https://dvc.org/">DVC</a> is a viable alternative; however, it requires users to learn to use one more CLI tool.</p>
<details class="note">
<summary>Using LargeFile-s directly (usually not needed)</summary>
<p>LargeFile doesn't require users to learn too much new. It is a nearly exact copy of Python's built-in <code>open()</code> function, with which users are undoubtedly already familiar.</p>

<h3 id="more-details">More details<a class="headerlink" href="#more-details" title="Permanent link">#</a></h3>
<p><code>LargeFile</code> behaves like an opened file (in the background, it is a temp file after all). Binary reads and writes are supported along with the <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#open" target="_blank">different keywords <code>open()</code> accepts</a>.</p>
<p>The local cache can be configured with these properties:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><a id="__codelineno-1-1" name="__codelineno-1-1" href="#__codelineno-1-1"></a><span class="n">LargeFileS3</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">cache_path</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">Path</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;.cache&#39;</span><span class="p">)</span>

</code></pre></div>
<h4 id="i-only-need-a-path">I only need a path<a class="headerlink" href="#i-only-need-a-path" title="Permanent link">#</a></h4>
<p>In case you only need a path to the (proxy of the) remote file, this pattern can be applied:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><a id="__codelineno-2-1" name="__codelineno-2-1" href="#__codelineno-2-1"></a><span class="n">path_to_model</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">LargeFileS3</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;folder-of-my-bert-model&quot;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">version</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mi">31</span><span class="p">)</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">get</span><span class="p">()</span>
</code></pre></div>
<blockquote>
<p>This will first download the file/folder into your local cache folder. Then, it returns a <code>Path</code> object to the local version. Which can be turned into a string with <code>str(path_to_model)</code>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The same approach works for uploads:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><a id="__codelineno-3-1" name="__codelineno-3-1" href="#__codelineno-3-1"></a><span class="n">LargeFileS3</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;folder-of-my-bert-model&quot;</span><span class="p">)</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">push</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;path_to_local/folder_or_file&#39;</span><span class="p">)</span>
</code></pre></div>
<blockquote>
<p>This way, both regular files and folders can be handled. The uploaded file is called <strong>folder-of-my-bert-model</strong>, the local name is ignored.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Lastly, all version of the remote object can be deleted by calling <code>LargeFileS3("my-file").delete()</code>. It will still reside in your local cache afterwards; its deletion will happen next time your local cache has to be pruned.</p>
</details>
<h2 id="from-the-command-line">From the command-line<a class="headerlink" href="#from-the-command-line" title="Permanent link">#</a></h2>
<p>The main reason for using the <code>large-file</code> or <code>python3 -m great_ai.large_file</code> commands is to upload or download models from the terminal. For example, when building a docker image, it is best practice to cache the referred models.</p>

<div class="admonition important">
<p class="admonition-title">Using MongoDB</p>
<p>The possible values for <code>--backend</code> are <code>s3</code>, <code>mongo</code>, and <code>local</code>. The latter doesn't need credentials. It only versions and stores your files in a local folder. MongoDB, on the other hand, requires a <code>mongo_connection_string</code> and a <code>mongo_database</code> to be specified. For storing large files, it uses the <a href="https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/core/gridfs" target="_blank">GridFS</a> specification.</p>
