[docs]class SavePlanner(abc.ABC): """ Abstract class defining the protocol used by save_state_dict to plan the save process. SavePlanners are stateful objects that can be used to customize the whole save process. SavePlanner acts as an access proxy to the state_dict, so any transformation done to it will be visible to the whole process. A planner subclass can expect the following sequence of calls during save_state_dict: 1) set_up_planner - called on all ranks. Signals the start of a checkpoint save. 2) create_local_plan - called on all ranks. Process the state_dict and produces a `SavePlan` that will be sent for global planning. 3) create_global_plan - called on the coordinator rank only. Takes the SavePlan from all ranks and make any global decision. 4) finish_plan - called on all ranks. This gives each rank a chance to adjust to global planning decisions. 5) resolve_data - called multiple times on each rank Lookups a value on the `state_dict` for the storage layer to write. Users are recommended to extend DefaultSavePlanner instead of this interface directly as most changes can be expressed by changes in a single method. There are 3 usual patterns of extension: Rewriting state_dict.
