Customized plan cannot be captured as in the RASP tutorial example

[jiaywu-deloitte]

I'm running the examples in the RASP tutorial in an environment built from reagent cpu docker image in a MAC OS, and I was trying to replicate this (but just replacing the heuristic plan with a new generated plan):

python serving/examples/ecommerce/customer_simulator.py heuristic.json

I was able to generate an epsilon_greedy_plan.json using the epsilongreedyranker_decision_plan() in example.py, the EpsilonGreedyRanker() in operator.py, and the DecisionPlanBuilder() class in builder.py:

{
    "operators": [
        {
            "name": "EpsilonGreedyRanker_1",
            "op_name": "EpsilonGreedyRanker",
            "input_dep_map": {
                "epsilon": "constant_2",
                "values": "constant_3"
            }
        }
    ],
    "constants": [
        {
            "name": "constant_2",
            "value": {
                "double_value": 0.1
            }
        },
        {
            "name": "constant_3",
            "value": {
                "map_double_value": {
                    "action1": 10.0,
                    "action2": 20.0
                }
            }
        }
    ],
    "num_actions_to_choose": 1,
    "reward_function": "",
    "reward_aggregator": [
        "max"
    ]
}

This plan is now in the same dir as the heuristic plan but running python serving/examples/ecommerce/customer_simulator.py epsilon_greedy_plan.json returned error messages:

E1110 21:29:26.775698  6181 DecisionService.cpp:27] Tried to get a config that doesn't exist: epsilon_greedy_plan.json
E1110 21:29:26.775782  6181 Server.cpp:25] GOT ERROR: Tried to get a config that doesn't exist: epsilon_greedy_plan.json

It seems the getPlan() failed to capture the plan but I'm wondering how to connect customized plans to the server. Is this something related to the export() function in the builder as well as in the main file? Thanks!!

I got lucky with this one. I tried to rebuild the environment and found those when restarting the server:

./serving/build/RaspCli --logtostderr

And realized the only chance for the new plan to be captured and registered is when starting the server. So basically every time you generated a new plan, you should put it in this dir: serving/examples/ecommerce/plans and then restart the server.

Is this the way the authors of the library intended for users to serve custom plans with RASP or is this just a temporary solution?
