Refactor MinioDataFramePayload usage across activities
- Updated instances of MinioDataFramePayload initialization in Gates, MLFlow, and Storage classes to use the new from_dict method for better data reconstruction from dictionaries.
- Enhanced the PredictionProcess workflow to utilize the updated payload handling.
- Added passthrough fixtures in tests to accommodate the new from_dict method for consistent testing behavior.
Enhance README and Implement Drift Detection and Metrics Workflows
- Added new sections in README for Drift Workflow and Simple Metrics Workflow, detailing their execution flows and functionalities.
- Introduced `drift.py` for data drift detection, comparing current data against reference datasets.
- Added `simple_metrics.py` for calculating regression metrics (RMSE, MSE, MAE, R²).
- Updated `values.yaml` to include configuration for MinIO retention hours and offload threshold.
- Refactored `minio_dataframe_payload.py` to use the new offload threshold environment variable.
- Adjusted tests to reflect changes in environment variable handling for MinIO offload threshold.
Remove code validation script and refactor imports in activities and workflows
- Deleted the `validate.sh` script, which was responsible for running code quality checks.
- Cleaned up import statements in `activities.py`, `gates.py`, `mlflow.py`, and `storage.py` by removing unused imports and organizing them.
- Refactored initialization methods in `MinioManager` and `MLFlow` classes for improved readability.
- Updated various workflows to ensure compatibility with the new structure and removed unnecessary comments.
- Enhanced test cases to accommodate changes in the activities and workflows, ensuring proper mocking of dependencies.
Implement MinIO Offload and Retention Features
- Added configuration options for MinIO retention hours and offload threshold in README.
- Introduced MinIO payload offloading for large DataFrame-derived payloads, storing them as parquet files.
- Updated activities to utilize MinIO for data loading and cleanup, including new methods for offloading and retention management.
- Refactored existing activities to integrate MinIO functionality, ensuring compatibility with previous workflows.
- Removed the legacy MinioRepository class, consolidating MinIO operations under a new manager structure.
- Updated requirements to use the latest version of the sientia-dataops-library.
