<span id="error-propagation"></span><span id="elastic-errors-api"></span><h1>Error Propagation<a class="headerlink" href="#module-torch.distributed.elastic.multiprocessing.errors" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>Each host in a distributed PyTorch job runs with a single TorchElastic agent,
and multiple workers (as children processes of the TorchElastic agent).
Since the workers are user-provided (your PyTorch script/job), TorchElastic
has a way to propagate errors on the trainers through the agent and up to the
scheduler, which ultimately informs the end-user about the state of the job
and applies any retry policies.</p>
<p>TorchElastic categorizes errors into 3 categories:</p>
<table class="docutils colwidths-auto align-default">
<thead>
<tr class="row-odd"><th class="head"><p>Category</p></th>
<th class="head"><p>Sub-Category</p></th>
<th class="head"><p>Description</p></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="row-even"><td rowspan="2"><p>User Error</p></td>
<td><p>Input Error</p></td>
<td><p>invalid inputs to TorchElastic APIs (e.g. min > max nodes)</p></td>
</tr>
<tr class="row-odd"><td><p>Worker Failure</p></td>
<td><p>any failures on the worker child process</p></td>
</tr>
<tr class="row-even"><td><p>Platform Error</p></td>
<td><p>n/a</p></td>
<td><p>failures caused by the agent</p></td>
</tr>
<tr class="row-odd"><td><p>Infra Error</p></td>
<td><p>n/a</p></td>
<td><p>failures outside the domain of the agent and workers
(e.g. host failures)</p></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>All errors other than “Worker Failure” are either raised canonically from the
agent process or implicitly or explicitly crash the agent process. So the
standard language (python) provided exception handling strategies apply.</p>
<p>Worker Failures are special because the exception/failure originates on a different
process from the agent so the error needs to be propagated inter-process
(e.g. the agent cannot simply <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">try-catch</span></code> an exception raised on the worker process).</p>
<p>TorchElastic agents use <a class="reference internal" href="multiprocessing.html#torch.distributed.elastic.multiprocessing.start_processes" title="torch.distributed.elastic.multiprocessing.start_processes"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.distributed.elastic.multiprocessing.start_processes()</span></code></a>
to launch the workers which has a simple file based inter-process error propagation
built-in.</p>
<p>Any function or binary entrypoint decorated with <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.distributed.elastic.multiprocessing.errors.record" title="torch.distributed.elastic.multiprocessing.errors.record"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">record()</span></code></a>
will write uncaught exceptions (with the trace information) to a file specified by the
environment variable <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TORCHELASTIC_ERROR_FILE</span></code>. The parent process (e.g. agent)
sets this env var on each child it launches, then aggregates the error files for all
children, and propagates the one with the <strong>smallest</strong> timestamp (e.g. the <strong>first</strong> error).</p>

<p>Useful in cases where the parent is a simple nanny process

is not doing anything non-trivial, and child errors should be propagated
to the scheduler for accurate root cause diagnostics.</p>
