Issue

I am loading LightGbmBinaryTrainer from memory stream

            ITransformer model = null;
            using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(kv.Value))
            {
                model = _mLContext.Model.Load(ms, out _inputSchema);
            }

Note, this code is executed in several threads in parallel over the same model.

And I occasionally get the following exception:

System.IO.IOException: The file 'D:\SvcFab_App\AIBuilder.Platform.Host_App157\temp\TLC_1CBA6C2E\0' already exists.

This happens occasionally and I can't reliably reproduce this 100%.

• What did you expect?

1. I expected that no file operations are performed during loading from memory stream. My models are relatively small, but I can't guarantee that the filesystem is always available. I would appreciate to at least have some control over this behavior.

2. But if file operations cannot be avoided, I expect to have no naming conflicts.

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.IO.IOException: The file 'D:\SvcFab_App\AIBuilder.Platform.Host_App157\temp\TLC_1CBA6C2E\0' already exists.

@dasokolo could you please provide a repro project and necessary dataset so we can investigate further? BTW, are you working on latest version of ML.NET (1.5.0)?

Unfortunately I don’t have a reproducer. This issue happened in a production environment and the only thing I have is logs. I tried to reproduce this issue in a controlled environment, but have not succeeded so far.

Is there a way to make File IO functionality configurable and only use memory?

[frank-dong-ms-zz]

@dasokolo I can't repro the issue with provided code piece as well. Regarding the question, I believe the answer is no but let me check code and get back to you later, thanks.

[frank-dong-ms-zz]

@dasokolo I have checked the code, currently there is no option that can user can set to avoid file operation when load model. I already open a PR to fix the issue you met.

[frank-dong-ms-zz]

This issue should already fixed at below PR:
#4645

please upgrade to latest version of ml.net.

[frank-dong-ms-zz]

Close this issue now as this already fixed, feel free to reopen if necessary, thanks
