Note

Ensure checkpoint_state_dir is rewritten under /filestore when gs_bucket_path is set and the path isn’t already in filestore.

  • Checkpointing:
    • When gs_bucket_path is provided (and gs_checkpoint_state_dir unset), rewrite checkpoint_state_dir to /filestore/... if it doesn't already start with /filestore, before GCS download/calibration.

Summary of Changes

Hello @saurabh111233212, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request implements a critical fix to how checkpoint directories are constructed, specifically for multi-learn node setups. It ensures that all checkpoint paths are correctly routed to the /filestore system by programmatically adding the prefix if it's missing. This change is vital for maintaining data integrity and proper recovery mechanisms during distributed training, preventing potential failures related to incorrect storage locations.

Highlights

  • Checkpoint Path Correction: Introduced a conditional check to ensure that the checkpoint_state_dir is always prefixed with /filestore if it isn't already, addressing potential issues with checkpoint storage paths.
  • Multi-Node Checkpointing Reliability: This fix specifically targets improving the reliability of checkpointing in multi-learn node environments, ensuring consistent storage paths for 'augusta' checkpoints.

Code Review

This pull request adds a fix for checkpointing on multi-learn nodes on the 'augsta' cluster by ensuring checkpoint paths are prefixed with /filestore. While the intention is correct, the implementation has a bug where it creates an invalid path for relative checkpoint_state_dir values (e.g., my_checkpoints becomes /filestoremy_checkpoints). I've suggested a fix to correctly handle both relative and absolute paths.

Wdyt about making this logic live in mason?

@finbarrtimbers hmm, actually, this is the logic for auto-setting checkpoint state dir.

should we move the whole block to mason? Basically, can't move just the filestore bit because the checkpoint state dir might not exist before grpo_fast is actually called

but we could move the entire logic of auto-setting checkpoint_state_dir to mason (the entire if statement in which the if not checkpoint_dir_name.startswith("/filestore") check lives under)
