Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We should allow Feature Views to return matrices/tensors natively. For example, torch.tensors
.
At the moment, for some features we require the client to serialize the output into a matrix before running inference. Feast should support executing these transformations and serializing the data into matrices for both online and offline retrieval.
Describe the solution you'd like
features: torch.Tensor = store.get_online_features()
Describe alternatives you've considered
Not supporting this is the alternative, which is the current state, which leaves users to write their own brittle logic to handle various complexities.
Additional context
@HaoXuAI @tokoko I know we discussed sklearn pipelines in the past and I thought I'd share my thoughts.
