Why are the changes needed?
The current Tuple IDL design is complicated by this function since if we want to guess the
LiteralType
fromLiteral
, we have to store the name of the tuple and the name of each field inside the tuple in theLiteral
.However, guessing the
LiteralType
is not necessary for Flyte since whenever we create a new literal, there must be a target type (maybe inputs or outputs, but they will always have a defined type). Also, almost all use cases ofLiteralTypeForLiteral
are followed by a functionAreTypesCastable
, we could simply combine these two functions into a function determining whether a Literal could be instantiated by a LiteralType. It is really similar toisinstance()
function in Python.What changes were proposed in this pull request?
IsInstance()
for the flytepropeller to check whether a Literal could be represented by a LiteralType.LiteralTypeForLiteral
and update all necessary code in FlyteAdmin & FlytePropeller.LiteralTypeForLiteral
toIsInstance
