instanceType property

The format of the instance that the Model accepts.

Vertex AI will convert compatible batch prediction input instance formats to the specified format. Supported values are: * object: Each input is converted to JSON object format. * For bigquery, each row is converted to an object. * For jsonl, each line of the JSONL input must be an object. * Does not apply to csv, file-list, tf-record, or tf-record-gzip. * array: Each input is converted to JSON array format.

• For bigquery, each row is converted to an array. The order of columns is determined by the BigQuery column order, unless included_fields is populated. included_fields must be populated for specifying field orders.
• For jsonl, if each line of the JSONL input is an object, included_fields must be populated for specifying field orders. * Does not apply to csv, file-list, tf-record, or tf-record-gzip. If not specified, Vertex AI converts the batch prediction input as follows: * For bigquery and csv, the behavior is the same as array. The order of columns is the same as defined in the file or table, unless included_fields is populated. * For jsonl, the prediction instance format is determined by each line of the input. * For tf-record/tf-record-gzip, each record will be converted to an object in the format of {"b64": }, where is the Base64-encoded string of the content of the record. * For `file-list`, each file in the list will be converted to an object in the format of `{"b64": }`, where is the Base64-encoded string of the content of the file.
