vllm.distributed.kv_transfer.kv_connector.v1.umbp.data

Shared data types for the UMBP KV connector.

The types in this module deliberately do not depend on a UMBP client. They describe vLLM's logical KV objects and the physical ranges a runtime adapter will transfer.

Classes:

• BlockIdentityCodec –

  Build stable rank-local keys from vLLM block hashes.

• BlockTransferPlan –

  One complete logical block transfer.

• KVLayoutDescriptor –

  Backend-neutral description of one rank-local KV object layout.

• KVLayoutPlanner –

  Create a deterministic all-layer object layout from KVCacheConfig.

• KVRange –

  A source/destination range in a runtime transfer.

• KVRegion –

  One deterministic region in a rank-local KV object.

• LoadSpec –

  Scheduler decision for one externally loaded prefix.

• RankTopology –

  Model-parallel ranks that participate in one KV object.

• RequestTracker –

  Core request state shared by every runtime mode.

• StoreEventResult –

  Number of workers that finished one store event.

• TransferJobState –

  Per-key completion state; one failed key does not fail its siblings.

• UMBPConnectorMetadata –

  Scheduler-to-worker metadata for one engine step.

• UMBPConnectorWorkerMetadata –

  Worker completion metadata aggregated across ranks.

• UMBPHandshakeMetadata –

  Namespace a worker derived, reported to the scheduler at startup.

• UMBPNamespace –

  Compatibility namespace for objects stored outside the engine.
