What this PR does / why we need it

This PR implements dataset and model initializer support in the container backend, bringing it to feature parity with the Kubernetes backend. This addresses issue #171 by enabling users to automatically download and prepare datasets and models before training starts.

Solution Overview

This implementation adds full initializer support to the container backend by:

  1. Running initializer containers before training - Initializers execute sequentially (dataset first, then model) before any training containers start
  2. Using shared volumes - All containers (initializers and training nodes) share the same workspace directory on the host
  3. Proper lifecycle management - Initializers must complete successfully before training begins, with automatic cleanup on failures
  4. Comprehensive error handling - Clear error messages and proper resource cleanup when initialization fails

Detailed Changes

1. New Utility Functions (kubeflow/trainer/backends/container/utils.py)

build_initializer_command(initializer, init_type)

Builds the appropriate container command based on initializer type:

  • HuggingFace: Uses kubeflow.storage_initializer.hugging_face module
  • S3: Uses kubeflow.storage_initializer.s3 module
  • DataCache: Uses kubeflow.storage_initializer.datacache module

build_initializer_env(initializer, init_type)

Constructs environment variables from initializer configuration:

  • Sets STORAGE_URI from the initializer config
  • Sets OUTPUT_PATH to /workspace/dataset or /workspace/model based on type
  • Adds optional fields like ACCESS_TOKEN, ENDPOINT, REGION, etc.
  • Handles DataCache-specific variables like CLUSTER_SIZE, METADATA_LOC

get_initializer_image()

Returns the initializer container image (kubeflow/training-operator:latest).
This can be made configurable via backend config in future iterations.

2. Enhanced ContainerBackend (kubeflow/trainer/backends/container/backend.py)

_run_initializers(job_name, initializer, workdir, network_id)

Orchestrates the initialization phase:

  • Pulls the initializer image if needed (respects pull_policy)
  • Runs dataset initializer if configured
  • Runs model initializer if configured
  • Ensures proper sequencing and error propagation

_run_single_initializer(job_name, initializer_config, init_type, image, workdir, network_id)

Executes a single initializer container:

  • Creates container with proper labels for tracking
  • Mounts shared volume to /workspace
  • Monitors container status with configurable timeout (default 10 minutes)
  • Waits for successful completion (exit code 0)
  • Captures and reports logs on failure
  • Cleans up failed containers automatically

Updated train() method

  • Creates network and working directory first
  • Runs initializers before generating training script
  • Only proceeds to training if initialization succeeds
  • Maintains backward compatibility (initializers are optional)

Updated __get_trainjob_from_containers()

  • Correctly counts only training nodes for num_nodes (excludes initializers)
  • Includes initializer containers in the steps list
  • Properly tracks initializer status

Updated get_job_logs()

  • Supports fetching logs from specific initializer steps
  • When requesting node-0 logs (default), only shows training container logs
  • Can explicitly request initializer logs with step="dataset-initializer" or step="model-initializer"

3. Comprehensive Test Coverage (kubeflow/trainer/backends/container/backend_test.py)

Added 11 new test cases covering:

Initialization Success Scenarios

  • HuggingFace dataset initializer - Tests storage_uri parsing and access_token handling
  • S3 dataset initializer - Tests endpoint, region, and credential configuration
  • HuggingFace model initializer - Tests model downloads with ignore_patterns
  • S3 model initializer - Tests S3-compatible storage with authentication
  • Both dataset and model - Tests sequential execution of both initializers
  • DataCache initializer - Tests distributed cache configuration with metadata_loc and cluster size

Log Retrieval

  • Tests getting logs from dataset-initializer step
  • Tests getting logs from model-initializer step
  • Tests that default node logs exclude initializer logs

Error Handling

  • Non-zero exit code - Verifies proper error reporting when initializer fails
  • Timeout handling - Ensures timeout errors are caught and reported
  • Resource cleanup - Confirms containers and networks are cleaned up on failure

Implementation Details

Initialization Flow

  1. User calls train() with initializer parameter

  2. ContainerBackend creates:

   ├── Working directory: ~/.kubeflow/trainer/containers/<job-name>/
   └── Network: <job-name>-net
  1. If initializer.dataset is set:
   ├── Create dataset-initializer container
   ├── Mount workdir to /workspace
   ├── Run initialization (downloads to /workspace/dataset)
   └── Wait for completion (exit code 0)
  1. If initializer.model is set:
   ├── Create model-initializer container
   ├── Mount workdir to /workspace
   ├── Run initialization (downloads to /workspace/model)
   └── Wait for completion (exit code 0)
  1. Create training containers:
   ├── Mount same workdir to /workspace
   └── Access data at /workspace/dataset and /workspace/model

Volume Layout

Host: ~/.kubeflow/trainer/containers/<job-name>/

├── dataset/ (from dataset-initializer, if configured)
│   └── <downloaded dataset files>
├── model/ (from model-initializer, if configured)
│   └── <downloaded model files>
└── outputs/ (accessible to all training nodes)
    └── <training outputs>

Container Mount: /workspace/

├── dataset/ (read by training code)
├── model/ (read by training code)
└── outputs/ (written by training code)

Testing Results

All tests pass with no regressions:

  • 43/43 container backend tests passed
  • 173/173 trainer module tests passed
  • make verify (ruff lint + format) passed
  • pre-commit hooks passed

Usage Example

from kubeflow.trainer import TrainerClient
from kubeflow.trainer.types import (
    CustomTrainer,
    Initializer,
    HuggingFaceDatasetInitializer,
    HuggingFaceModelInitializer,
)

# Define initializers
initializer = Initializer(
    dataset=HuggingFaceDatasetInitializer(
        storage_uri="hf://username/my-dataset",
        access_token="hf_xxxxx",
    ),
    model=HuggingFaceModelInitializer(
        storage_uri="hf://username/my-model",
        access_token="hf_xxxxx",
    ),
)

# Define trainer
trainer = CustomTrainer(
    func=train_func,
    num_nodes=2,
)

# Train with initializers
client = TrainerClient()
job_name = client.train(
    trainer=trainer,
    initializer=initializer,  # <-- Now works with container backend!
)

# Data is automatically available at:
# - /workspace/dataset (in training containers)
# - /workspace/model (in training containers)

Implemented wait_for_container() in the adapter interface and both Docker/Podman adapters. This replaces the polling loop with a single blocking wait call - much more efficient.

You're right - that was inconsistent with the kubernetes backend. Changed to raise ValueError with a clear message listing all supported types instead of defaulting to datacache.

I ran this locally using docker/colima, I have left some comments that should be addressed.
I have created this quick PR in the trainer repo moving a kubernetes import to method level as it was causing an error locally looking for kubeconfig. This PR should be merged after that one. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for your work on this.

I tested the initializer functionality with the local Docker/Podman container backend and found some issues relating to the use of this image here that need to be addressed in this PR. This image is a controller image and does not container initializer code. Instead we should use these: kubeflow/dataset-initializer:latest, kubeflow/model-initializer:latest. Functionality should be updated to select whichever one is required for each initialiser.

Can you simplify the logic here to be consistent with what we do in Kubernetes backend:

dataset=utils.get_dataset_initializer(initializer.dataset)

Just simple define two utils function in container utils:

container_utils.get_dataset_initializer()
container_utils.get_model_initializer()

Which returns internal type that you can use in the _adapter.create_and_start_container() API:

@dataclass
class ContainerInitializer:
   image: str
   command: str
   env: dict

Instead of passing init_type separately, you can simple add name to the ContainerInitializer type which can be:

name = dataset-initializer
name = model-initializer

Then, just use this name in the f"{self.label_prefix}/step"

* chore!: upgrade to Python 3.10 (kubeflow#282)

This upgrades the minimum Python version for the project from 3.9 to
3.10. Python 3.9 is past end-of-life and dependencies will likely
require a supported version soon.

* feat(trainer): add dataset and model initializer support to container backend (kubeflow#188)

* feat(trainer): add dataset and model initializer support to container backend

Add support for dataset and model initializers in the container backend
to bring it to feature parity with the Kubernetes backend.

Changes:
- Add utility functions for building initializer commands and environment variables
- Implement _run_initializers() and _run_single_initializer() methods in ContainerBackend
- Run initializers sequentially before training containers start
- Download datasets to /workspace/dataset and models to /workspace/model
- Track initializer containers as separate steps in TrainJob
- Support all initializer types: HuggingFace, S3, and DataCache
- Add comprehensive unit tests for all initializer configurations
- Handle initializer failures with proper cleanup and error messages

Fixes kubeflow#171

Signed-off-by: HKanoje <[email protected]>

* feat(trainer): address reviewer feedback for initializer support

- Make initializer image configurable via ContainerBackendConfig
- Make initializer timeout configurable (default 600 seconds)
- Implement wait API in adapters instead of polling
- Clean up successful initializer containers after completion
- Clean up network on initializer failure
- Raise ValueError for unsupported initializer types (no datacache fallback)

All tests passing (173/173). Addresses all feedback from PR kubeflow#188.

* chore(trainer): add cleanup helper to reduce duplication

Add _cleanup_container_resources() helper method to consolidate
duplicated cleanup logic for stopping/removing containers and
deleting networks. Refactor 5 locations across train(), initializer
handlers, and delete_job() to use this helper.

Signed-off-by: HKanoje <[email protected]>

* fix(trainer): use correct initializer images and working directory

Address feedback for initializer support in container backend:

- Use separate images for dataset/model initializers:
  - kubeflow/dataset-initializer:latest for datasets
  - kubeflow/model-initializer:latest for models
  (instead of kubeflow/training-operator:latest)

- Update python commands to use pkg.initializers module:
  - python -m pkg.initializers.dataset (for dataset)
  - python -m pkg.initializers.model (for model)

- Change initializer working_dir from /workspace to /app
  per Dockerfile convention

This disables a couple ruff rules in pyproject.toml:
```
"UP007", # Use X | Y instead of Union[X, Y] (requires Python 3.10+)
"UP045", # Use X | None instead of Optional[X] (requires Python 3.10+)
```

```

* fix: handle unions, bools in convert_value

The convert_value function didn't seems to be handling union types
properly and also needs to handle `T | None` similarly to
`Optional[None]` after the upgrade to Python 3.10. This fixes union
types, an issue with bool conversion, and adds tests for this function.

1Ayush-Petwal added a commit to 1Ayush-Petwal/sdk that referenced this pull request Mar 21, 2026
Add docs/source/train/initializers.rst documenting the dataset and
model initializer types (HuggingFaceDatasetInitializer, S3DatasetInitializer,
DataCacheInitializer, HuggingFaceModelInitializer, S3ModelInitializer)
that were added to the container backend in PRs kubeflow#188 and kubeflow#313.

The guide covers: concept overview, per-initializer code examples,
combined usage, ContainerBackendConfig options (images, timeout),
log-based debugging, and backend limitations.
