Summary

  • Add automatic training/validation data conversion through format and out_format (output_format alias), with dpdata>=1.1.0 as a runtime dependency.
  • Default converted output to deepmd/lmdb and cache it beneath the working directory in .deepmd_dpdata_cache. Record source file membership, size, nanosecond mtime/ctime, and small-file content hashes in an atomic sidecar manifest. Restored inputs with older timestamps invalidate the cache; inputs changed during conversion fail without publishing a valid manifest.
  • Support converted LMDB in TensorFlow, JAX, PyTorch, and PyTorch Exportable, with reproducible sampling and cleanup on training/setup failures. Preserve Python 3.10 compatibility.
  • Make LMDB prob_uniform sample original systems with equal probability; this changes existing LMDB runs that previously sampled them proportionally to their frame counts. Share extended block probability calculation with the NPY loader.
  • Serialize conversion with owned locks. Recover dead local writers, but never evict an identified remote writer solely because its heartbeat looks stale; report such locks for owner verification.

Closes #5237

Configuration constraints

The deepmd/lmdb default requires exactly one resolved input path and an explicit model/type_map. LMDB does not support Paddle, data modifiers, or explicit sys_probs; unsupported settings fail clearly. Use out_format: deepmd/hdf5 for those capabilities or multiple input paths. The training and validation option documentation states these constraints.

Validation

All checks below ran on Python 3.10.12 with CPU backends:

  • Built the Python package and TensorFlow/PyTorch native operators against TensorFlow 2.21.0 and PyTorch 2.13.0+cpu.
  • ruff check ., ruff format ., and git diff --check.
  • 178 focused tests passed across conversion/cache, shared task-map cleanup, common LMDB, PyTorch LMDB adapters, PyTorch Exportable routing, TensorFlow setup cleanup, and TestDPTestEner::test_1frame (plus 22 subtests).
  • Two JAX setup-cleanup tests and four TF2 entrypoint tests passed, for 184 tests total.
  • Real dpdata 1.1.0 conversion regression: replace energy 0 with energy 42, restore an older source mtime, and verify the LMDB reader sees energy 42.
  • Four simultaneous fresh processes reused one converted cache; after restoring the input with an older mtime, four fresh processes all read the updated energy and left no conversion lock.
  • dp --version and Python/TensorFlow imports succeeded.

1147-1162: ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Recursive mtime scan may be slow for large source directories.

_source_mtime walks the entire source directory tree to find the latest modification time. For datasets with many files, this could add noticeable latency on every cache freshness check. Consider caching the computed mtime or using a faster heuristic (e.g., only checking top-level directory mtime plus a sample of files).

In `@deepmd/utils/data_system.py` around lines 1147 - 1162, The `_source_mtime`
function performs a full recursive directory walk using source.rglob("*") to
find the latest modification time across all files, which becomes inefficient
for large source directories. To improve performance, implement a caching
mechanism to store previously computed mtimes so that repeated calls for the
same source directory do not re-scan the entire tree, or alternatively replace
the full recursive scan with a faster heuristic that only examines the top-level
directory mtime and a representative sample of files rather than traversing
every single file.

786-796: 💤 Low value

Mixed-type detection scans all frames at initialization.

_detect_mixed_type iterates through every frame in the LMDB dataset comparing atom types, which could be slow for very large datasets (thousands of frames). Consider caching this property in the LMDB metadata during conversion, or adding a sampling heuristic for large datasets.

large datasets (e.g., more than a configurable threshold), only a sample of
frames are checked instead of all frames. Update the method to return the cached
result on subsequent calls and use the sampling strategy to limit iterations
while still maintaining reasonable confidence in the mixed-type detection.

1395-1408: 💤 Low value

Single-LMDB fast-path only; consider documenting multi-LMDB limitation.

The LMDB routing only handles the case where systems resolves to exactly one LMDB path. If multiple LMDB paths are provided (or conversion produces multiple systems), they fall through to DeepmdDataSystem. Consider adding a log warning or updating docstring to clarify this behavior.

LmdbDataSystem, and update the function's docstring to document this single-LMDB
fast-path behavior and clarify what happens with multiple LMDB inputs.

1219-1277: ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Stale lock files may persist after process crashes.

If a process crashes after creating the lock file (line 1242) but before the finally block runs (e.g., SIGKILL), the .lock file will remain. Subsequent processes will wait 5 minutes before timing out. Consider adding stale-lock detection using the PID written to the lock file, or a timestamp-based staleness check.

FileExistsError block before calling _wait_for_conversion. Read the PID from the
existing lock file and check if that process is still running using
platform-appropriate methods (e.g., os.kill with signal 0 on Unix, or process
existence checks). If the process is not running or if the lock file is older
than a reasonable threshold (e.g., 10 minutes), remove the stale lock file and
retry the lock acquisition instead of waiting. This prevents indefinite hangs on
stale locks from crashed processes.

Inline comments:
In `@deepmd/pd/entrypoints/main.py`:
- Around line 123-144: The current LMDB validation checks for both
training_systems and validation_systems only reject LMDB when the result is a
single system (len(...) == 1), but the error messages indicate that Paddle does
not support LMDB data in general. Remove the len(...) == 1 condition from both
the training_systems check (around line 123) and the validation_systems check
(around line 139) so that any LMDB dataset is rejected regardless of whether
it's a single system or multiple systems in the list. This ensures that any
LMDB-resolved dataset triggers the NotImplementedError with a clear message,
preventing less clear failures downstream.

In `@deepmd/pt_expt/entrypoints/main.py`:
- Around line 118-132: The current code in _get_neighbor_stat_data only
validates the single-LMDB case with `if len(systems) == 1 and
is_lmdb(systems[0])`, but when format-based conversion produces multiple LMDB
paths, this check is skipped and execution falls through to get_data() instead
of raising an appropriate error for list-form LMDB systems. Add validation
guards in both _get_neighbor_stat_data and _build_data_system functions to
ensure that after process_systems() is called, if any LMDB systems are returned,
they are validated to not be in list form (similar to what _detect_lmdb_path
does), and raise a clear error before reaching the fallback get_data() or
DeepmdDataSystem paths.

In `@deepmd/pt/entrypoints/main.py`:
- Around line 197-204: Add a validation guard before the existing condition that
checks `len(systems) == 1 and is_lmdb(systems[0])` to prevent multiple LMDB
paths from being passed to DpLoaderSet. The guard should use
`isinstance(systems, list)` combined with `any(isinstance(s, str) and is_lmdb(s)
for s in systems)` to detect when systems is a list containing LMDB paths and
raise a clear ValueError message explaining that LMDB datasets must be passed as
a scalar string rather than as a list.

In `@deepmd/utils/data_system.py`:
- Around line 848-852: Add a defensive check at the beginning of the
`_stack_frames` method to guard against empty frames lists. Before accessing
`frames[0]` at line 864, add validation to check if the frames list is empty and
handle this edge case appropriately, such as raising a more informative error or
returning early. This will prevent IndexError when the sampler yields an empty
batch due to malformed LMDB data, since both `_load_set` and `get_batch` call
this method with frames lists derived from sampler indices.

Pull request overview

Adds dpdata-backed automatic dataset format conversion (with caching) to the DeePMD-kit training/validation data pipeline, defaulting converted outputs to LMDB and routing those datasets through backend-appropriate data loaders.

Changes:

  • Introduce format / out_format (output_format) options for training/validation datasets and wire them through TF/JAX legacy loaders, PyTorch, and PT-expt entrypoints.
  • Add an LMDB adapter (LmdbDataSystem) plus LMDB-path validation helpers to ensure backends either consume a single LMDB path or raise clear errors (notably for Paddle).
  • Add tests for conversion/caching behavior and LMDB validation, and promote dpdata>=1.0.1 to a runtime dependency.

Fixed in b16b180. LmdbDataSystem now uses the reader mixed_type metadata instead of scanning every frame during initialization. The targeted conversion and LMDB tests pass.

  • If the converting process crashes after creating the lock file, the .lock can persist indefinitely and every future run will wait ~5 minutes and then fail. Consider adding stale-lock recovery: include PID+timestamp in the lock file and, when waiting, remove the lock if it's older than a threshold and the recorded PID is not alive (or the lock mtime is старе than threshold). This avoids permanent failure modes on shared filesystems/cluster retries.

  • When format='auto' and systems points to a directory (common for existing DeePMD npy/raw datasets), suffix is empty and this returns 'auto', which then forces dpdata conversion via process_systems() even though the input may already be valid DeePMD data. This can lead to unexpected conversion attempts or failures. A concrete fix is to treat directory inputs specially under auto: detect DeePMD directory structure (e.g., set.* + type_map.raw/type.raw/coord.npy) and skip conversion (set fmt=None), otherwise fall back to suffix-based inference for files.

  • For directory sources this walks the entire tree (rglob('*')) to compute freshness, and it can be called repeatedly (e.g., per process_systems() invocation and during lock waits). On large datasets this becomes a noticeable overhead. A more scalable approach is to scope the scan to only the selected conversion inputs (especially when patterns is provided), cache the computed source timestamp per (source, cwd) within the process, or use a cheaper invalidation scheme (e.g., top-level mtime + a manifest hash) to avoid full-tree scans.

deepmd/pt/entrypoints/main.py:274

  • This direct-LMDB fast path also forwards training_data.batch_size into LmdbDataset, which does not accept list batch sizes. With format conversion defaulting to LMDB, users are more likely to hit LMDB datasets; normalizing/validating the batch size here will produce clearer behavior.
            auto_prob = training_dataset_params.get("auto_prob", None)
            train_data_single = LmdbDataset(
                training_systems,
                model_params_single["type_map"],
                training_dataset_params["batch_size"],

deepmd/pt_expt/entrypoints/main.py:172

  • LmdbDataSystem is constructed with batch_size=dataset_params["batch_size"], but batch_size may be a list in configs. Since LMDB readers expect int | str, normalize a single-element list (and reject longer lists) to avoid runtime type errors when conversion or direct LMDB systems are used.

This issue also appears on line 185 of the same file.

    if lmdb_path is not None:
        return LmdbDataSystem(
            lmdb_path=lmdb_path,
            type_map=type_map,
            batch_size=dataset_params["batch_size"],

deepmd/pt_expt/entrypoints/main.py:192

  • Same issue for the converted-LMDB branch: batch_size can be a list in config, but LmdbDataSystem expects int | str. Normalizing/validating before constructing the LMDB adapter avoids hard-to-diagnose failures when format triggers LMDB conversion.
    if converted_lmdb_path is not None:
        return LmdbDataSystem(
            lmdb_path=converted_lmdb_path,
            type_map=type_map,
            batch_size=dataset_params["batch_size"],
            auto_prob_style=dataset_params.get("auto_prob"),
            seed=seed,
        )

deepmd/utils/data_system.py:1445

  • When format conversion resolves to a single LMDB path, this code forwards batch_size directly into LmdbDataSystem, but batch_size can be a list per argcheck ([list[int], int, str]). Passing a list will raise at LMDB reader construction. Consider normalizing a single-element list to a scalar (and raising a clear error for longer lists) before constructing LmdbDataSystem so converted LMDB datasets work with common configs.
        return LmdbDataSystem(
            lmdb_path=lmdb_path,
            type_map=type_map,
            batch_size=batch_size,
            auto_prob_style=auto_prob,

deepmd/pt/entrypoints/main.py:255

  • process_systems(..., fmt=..., out_fmt=...) can now resolve converted datasets to a single LMDB path. LmdbDataset only accepts batch_size: int | str, but training_data.batch_size may legally be a list. Normalizing a single-element list (or raising a clear error) here prevents confusing type errors when conversion defaults to LMDB.

This issue also appears on line 270 of the same file.

            lmdb_path = validate_lmdb_systems(systems, backend_name="PyTorch")
            if lmdb_path is not None:
                return LmdbDataset(
                    lmdb_path,

Updated in e548f74ac and 929d02764:

  • require dpdata>=1.1.0 and use the canonical deepmd/lmdb format by default;
  • delegate LMDB staging, validation, and transactional overwrite to dpdata instead of wrapping it with DeePMD-kit-side directory removal and rename logic;
  • add a real dpdata 1.1 EXTXYZ → LMDB → DeePMD reader regression, including stale-cache refresh;
  • merge current master and adapt the legacy LMDB data system to LmdbBatchSampler plus availability-aware sampling groups.

Validation:

  • ruff check .
  • ruff format . (1,785 files unchanged)
  • LMDB conversion, reader, sampler, and pt-expt training tests: 160 passed and 18 subtests passed
  • TensorFlow core test: TestDPTestEner::test_1frame passed
  • CLI/import/backend-help smoke checks passed

325-325: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Close every LmdbDataSystem created by a test.

These tests construct an LmdbDataSystem and never call close(). Each instance holds an open LMDB environment and a live read transaction through the module-level _ENV_CACHE. Release depends on __del__ and therefore on garbage-collection timing. The environment can still be open when tearDown removes the temporary directory. test_get_data_uses_format_conversion already closes its instance at line 384. Use self.addCleanup(data.close) in the others.

♻️ Example for one call site
         data = LmdbDataSystem(str(lmdb_path), ["H"], batch_size=1)
+        self.addCleanup(data.close)

Restore the working directory with addCleanup.

setUp changes the working directory at line 224 and writes the source file at line 226. If line 226 raises, tearDown does not run. The process then keeps a working directory that TemporaryDirectory later removes, and every following test in the same process runs from a deleted directory. Register the restore and the cleanup immediately after they become needed.

         data_system._DPDATA_SOURCE_MTIME_CACHE.clear()

Note: addCleanup runs in reverse registration order, so the directory change is restored before the temporary directory is removed.

Forward the training seed to LmdbDataSystem.

When training.seed is configured, TensorFlow seeds the shared deepmd.utils.random generator. The LMDB branch omits seed, so LmdbBatchSampler creates an independent np.random.default_rng(None) and randomizes batch order. Pass the seed through get_data to preserve reproducibility.

Requesting changes for a supported-runtime compatibility blocker on the current head. deepmd/utils/data_system.py imports Self from typing, but DeePMD-kit supports Python 3.10 and typing.Self is only available starting in Python 3.11. On Python 3.10 this prevents the module from importing, so the new data-system path cannot run at all. The exact-head CI corroborates this: the Python 3.10 test matrix is failing. This issue is already raised in an existing inline review thread, so I am not duplicating the inline comment. Please use typing_extensions.Self (or avoid Self) and rerun the Python 3.10 jobs.

I reviewed the complete 14-file diff, linked issue, repository instructions, existing review threads/comments, and current-head checks. I did not find an additional high-confidence blocking issue that was not already raised by existing reviewers.

The conversion pipeline itself looks solid to me: the cache key covers the resolved path, both formats, the schema and the dpdata version, so same-basename systems do not collide; dpdata 1.1.0's deepmd/lmdb writer stages to a temp directory and publishes with a single os.replace, so a killed conversion cannot leave a half-written database at the final path; and the multi-element type_map question that worried me turned out fine, because MultiSystems harmonises atom_names before .to() and the writer refuses to emit metadata without a global type_map, which the reader then remaps or rejects loudly. I checked each of those against the 1.1.0 sources rather than assuming.

What holds this up is one hard blocker and one design point that shows up in three places.

The blocker is the Python 3.10 import, inline below. It is the same thing the bot review already requested changes for, and every 3.10 job on this commit is red because of it.

The design point: out_format defaults to deepmd/lmdb unconditionally, but the LMDB path through get_data has a narrower contract than the NPY path it replaces. It accepts exactly one resolved input, drops modifier and the seed, and is refused by Paddle. Each of those is a reasonable limitation of an LMDB-backed dataset on its own; the problem is that a user who sets only format gets all of them silently, under the default, and the argcheck doc says the default is conditional when it is not. The three inline comments below are the concrete symptoms. Either the default should be a format that keeps the NPY contract, or each dropped capability needs to fail fast the way sys_probs already does through validate_lmdb_sampling_options.

Non-blocking, for the same pass or a follow-up:

  • The lock-liveness code in _lock_owner_is_alive / _recover_stale_conversion_lock has several branches with no test (other-host owner, PermissionError, live owner, owner_alive is None and lease_expired), and format: auto plus _looks_like_extxyz are documented but never exercised, since every test passes fmt="extxyz". The repository guideline asks for both sides of each boolean branch to be covered, and these are the branches that decide whether a live writer's lock gets deleted.
  • Related: the 30 s stale lease is judged against a heartbeat that another node sees through NFS attribute caching, whose default window is longer than that. The repository already has a rank-0-plus-broadcast mechanism for exactly this shape of problem (run_stat_on_chief), and torch.distributed is initialised before conversion runs in the pt entrypoint, so it would be usable here and would also give waiters a propagated failure instead of a retry cascade.
  • deepmd/utils/data_system.py now carries a third LmdbDataSystem-shaped implementation next to deepmd/pt_expt/utils/lmdb_dataset.py and pt's LmdbDataset, with the stat-group logic from #5944 copied into it. Worth converging on one before the copies drift.
  • compute_block_targets in lmdb_data.py re-inlines prob_sys_size_ext (the function-local import used before already broke the cycle) and changes prob_uniform for existing LMDB runs from size-proportional to truly uniform. That is probably the right semantics, but it is a sampling change for current users and the PR description does not mention it.
  • The PR body says dpdata>=1.0.1; pyproject.toml pins >=1.1.0, and the 1.1.0 writer's atomicity is what the docstring in _write_dpdata_conversion relies on, so 1.1.0 is the right one and the body should match.

Blocking. typing.Self was added in Python 3.11 and pyproject.toml still declares requires-python = ">=3.10", so this module cannot be imported on 3.10 at all. It is what the earlier bot review requested changes for, and every Test Python (*, 3.10) job plus the cp310 wheel build on this commit fail with ImportError: cannot import name 'Self' from 'typing'.

typing_extensions is already a transitive dependency, so from typing_extensions import Self is the smallest fix; dropping the annotation in favour of the class name works too.

Under the defaults this makes the headline workflow fail for anything but a single input. out_format defaults to deepmd/lmdb for both training and validation data (argcheck.py 5431 and 5544), and _iter_conversion_inputs returns each systems entry as its own input, so "systems": ["/A", "/B"], "format": "extxyz" raises here, and so does a single directory with rglob_patterns matching more than one file. Nothing in doc_out_format tells the user the default carries this constraint.

The restriction itself is defensible for LMDB. What I would change is the default: either pick a format that keeps the multi-input contract, or make the doc state the single-input limitation and point at deepmd/hdf5 explicitly, so the error is not the first place a user learns about it.

modifier is accepted by get_data and forwarded to DeepmdDataSystem on the NPY branch, but this branch discards it without a word. The TF entrypoint builds the modifier from model/modifier and passes it into every get_data call (deepmd/tf/entrypoints/train.py 264, 273, 312), so a TF run that configures DipoleChargeModifier and also sets format on its training data ends up training on unmodified data, silently, under the default out_format.

sys_probs already gets the fail-fast treatment through validate_lmdb_sampling_options; modifier should get the same, or be implemented. Same call site, lower stakes: LmdbDataSystem.__init__ accepts seed and threads it into the batch sampler, but it is never passed here, while the pt path hands DpLoaderSet a per-rank seed and its sibling LmdbDataset(...) construction also omits it. Shuffle seeds configured in the training script therefore do not reach LMDB-backed datasets on either backend.

This describes a conditional default, but the Argument below sets default="deepmd/lmdb" unconditionally, and the same wording is repeated for validation data at 5504. The practical consequence is on Paddle: a user who sets format: extxyz and leaves out_format alone gets deepmd/lmdb injected by argcheck normalisation and then hits NotImplementedError: Paddle backend does not support LMDB data yet, from a key they never wrote. Either make the wording match the code, or make the default genuinely conditional and let Paddle pick a format it can read.

Reviewed the full diff against 8cfd46e3 at head b3a2715. One new blocking issue; details inline.

The conversion cache can silently serve stale data. _is_conversion_current infers freshness from output.st_mtime >= source.st_mtime, which any mtime-preserving restore (cp -p, rsync -a, tar -xp, snapshot rollback) breaks. Reproduced on this head.

Already reported and still reproducing, so not re-raised: the typing.Self import (the single root cause of all 15 red checks), the single-input LMDB restriction, the dropped modifier and seed in get_data, the doc_out_format mismatch, and six open CodeQL/CodeRabbit threads.

Checked and found sound: the dpdata>=1.1.0 pin and its transactional LMDB writer; the conversion lock under six concurrent processes; LmdbTestDataNlocView satisfying the JAX/TF2 validation contract; ordinary in-place source edits invalidating the cache correctly.

Not verified: multi-task, spin/Hessian, the C++/LAMMPS consumers, and the GPU runs listed in the description.

Blocking: the cache can serve stale data silently.

output.st_mtime >= source.st_mtime assumes a modified source carries a newer mtime. Every metadata-preserving copy or restore breaks that — cp -p, rsync -a, tar -xp, git checkout of a data file, a snapshot rollback — all give new content an older mtime than the cache that already exists.

Reproduced at this head:

  1. convert data.extxyz carrying energy=0.0; cache is built;
  2. replace it with energy=42.0 and set its mtime one day back, as an archive restore would;
  3. process_systems(src, fmt="extxyz") from a fresh process returns the cached LMDB, and LmdbDataReader serves energy=0.0.

Nothing is logged, so the run trains on the previous dataset. The directory branch of _source_mtime compares the same way, so a restored source directory behaves identically.

Fix: compare a recorded signature instead of mtime ordering — a sidecar manifest written at conversion time (per-file size and mtime, or a hash for small inputs) that must match exactly. Folding that signature into the _conversion_cache_path digest works too, since a changed source would then map to a different cache entry.

Validate conversion caches with recorded source signatures, preserve seeded
LMDB sampling, reject unsupported modifiers, and clean up partial training
setup. Document LMDB defaults and protect remote writers during lock recovery.

1466-1476: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Keep signature reuse phase-local. A writer normally performs four source scans: the outer check, the post-lock check, and the pre- and post-conversion checks. A waiter scans once before waiting and once after lock release. Do not reuse one signature across these phases because the source can change while waiting or converting, which would bypass the source-change-during-conversion check. Preserve the post-lock and post-conversion scans. Reduce overhead only by reusing the first result when the in-memory cache entry is already stale.

Close partial data in the PyTorch factory.

If validation-data construction or task_config.stat_file_spec raises after train_data is created, the factory raises before it returns. make_task_maps can close only data from completed factory calls, so the current task's data remains open. Add factory-local cleanup and a regression test for both failure paths.

Handle dangling symlinks without disabling target freshness.

os.walk places dangling file symlinks in files. Path.stat() follows the link, so _source_signature raises FileNotFoundError before dpdata.MultiSystems.load_systems_from_file processes the directory.

Do not use follow_symlinks=False for every file. Valid symlinks currently hash their targets, so target edits invalidate the conversion. Record dangling symlinks separately, while retaining followed metadata and content hashing for valid symlinks.

Clean up the lock when os.fstat fails

If os.fstat(lock_file.fileno()) raises before the try block, _ConversionLock.__init__ leaves the newly created empty lock file behind. _recover_stale_conversion_lock treats its empty payload as an unknown owner, so _wait_for_conversion waits for the 300-second lease to expire. Include this failure in the cleanup path, and guard cleanup so it does not access an unset _stat.
