I prefer to make uses_ray a property + abstract class, but other than that it lgtm
@Yard1 I'm kind of wary about making this pluggable since it's something additional that needs to be supported and may hamper our ability to evolve the architecture of these parts. Are there concrete examples / use cases of this that can be shared? If it's just for the purpose of experimentation, it's not difficult to do that with custom changes in a separate branch? |
I consider this is not a big issue because of the following reasons:
I could provide 2 use cases as examples:
Thanks. |
@comaniac @Yard1 ok fair enough! I guess we should clearly document that this isn't for general use though and could change/break at any point in future.
I meant in terms of us having to avoid changing the executor structure such that it would break others' custom executors.
I thought that this was vLLM BAU :-) I'm not sure how the executor is special in this regard. Any large change that takes time to get merged ends up having to be regularly kept up-to-date with main (which I agree is very painful). We've had some PRs that took multiple months to get merged and required countless nontrivial conflict resolutions over that time (for example the multiproc executor, soft prompt support, ...) |
👍
Understood. IMO it's not the OSS community's responsibility to make sure the change of executor structure won't break other's downstream custom executors.
I totally understand, and that's also the motivation of this PR. Hopefully this could make our life less painful lol |

This PR allows the user to pass in their custom Executor and TokenizerGroup classes if they so desire. This allows easy experimentation and customized deployments.
PR Checklist (Click to Expand)
Thank you for your contribution to vLLM! Before submitting the pull request, please ensure the PR meets the following criteria. This helps vLLM maintain the code quality and improve the efficiency of the review process.
PR Title and Classification
Only specific types of PRs will be reviewed. The PR title is prefixed appropriately to indicate the type of change. Please use one of the following:
[Bugfix]
for bug fixes.[CI/Build]
for build or continuous integration improvements.[Doc]
for documentation fixes and improvements.[Model]
for adding a new model or improving an existing model. Model name should appear in the title.[Frontend]
For changes on the vLLM frontend (e.g., OpenAI API server,LLM
class, etc.)[Kernel]
for changes affecting CUDA kernels or other compute kernels.[Core]
for changes in the core vLLM logic (e.g.,LLMEngine
,AsyncLLMEngine
,Scheduler
, etc.)[Hardware][Vendor]
for hardware-specific changes. Vendor name should appear in the prefix (e.g.,[Hardware][AMD]
).[Misc]
for PRs that do not fit the above categories. Please use this sparingly.Note: If the PR spans more than one category, please include all relevant prefixes.
Code Quality
The PR need to meet the following code quality standards:
format.sh
to format your code.docs/source/
if the PR modifies the user-facing behaviors of vLLM. It helps vLLM user understand and utilize the new features or changes.Notes for Large Changes
Please keep the changes as concise as possible. For major architectural changes (>500 LOC excluding kernel/data/config/test), we would expect a GitHub issue (RFC) discussing the technical design and justification. Otherwise, we will tag it with
rfc-required
and might not go through the PR.What to Expect for the Reviews
The goal of the vLLM team is to be a transparent reviewing machine. We would like to make the review process transparent and efficient and make sure no contributor feel confused or frustrated. However, the vLLM team is small, so we need to prioritize some PRs over others. Here is what you can expect from the review process:
action-required
label on the PR if there are changes required. The contributor should address the comments and ping the reviewer to re-review the PR.Thank You
