PersistedResult

Bases: BaseResult

Result type which stores a reference to a persisted result.

When created, the user's object is serialized and stored. The format for the content is defined by ResultRecord. This reference contains metadata necessary for retrieval of the object, such as a reference to the storage block and the key where the content was written.

                            This is a known issue in Pydantic that prevents
                            locally-defined (non-imported) models from being
                            serialized by cloudpickle in IPython/Jupyter
                            environments. Please see
                            https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic/issues/8232 for
                            more information. To fix the issue, either: (1) move
                            your Pydantic class definition to an importable
                            location, (2) use the JSON serializer for your flow
                            or task (`result_serializer="json"`), or (3)
                            disable result persistence for your flow or task
                            (`persist_result=False`).
