Hi thanks for using Phoenix and for reaching out!
1.
Is not currently supported, but would be a great feature request.
2.
I don't believe the client as-is will support an upset unfortunately, that would be another great feature request. For now can you append the date or an incrementing integer to the dataset name?

Hi there! Thanks for the reply.
For now can you append the date or an incrementing integer to the dataset name?
That's exactly my workaround for now:
name: `qa-capital-france-${generateRandomString(5)}`,

Although, this will quickly fill the db with duplicate datasets. So perhaps better that I delete the existing dataset before adding it? Would that also remove existing evaluation results?
Søren L.

Hmm.. I don't see a deleteDataset method.

Okay I'm glad works for you in the meantime, I will file some tickets for you this morning. As far as deleting goes, the client offers fully typed http requests against the phoenix backend, and there is a delete method on the datasets route https://github.com/Arize-ai/phoenix/blob/main/schemas%2Fopenapi.json#L548

I would also love this 🙂 Regarding experiments: Is there a lighter package that I can install to run experiements Anthony P.? arize-phoenix gives me everything + the kitchen sink

We just added experiment running to our typescript package if you're comfortable running that instead of python https://github.com/Arize-ai/phoenix/blob/main/js%2Fpackages%2Fphoenix-client%2FREADME.md

That sounds lovely. I might pick that up in the short term. Is there a timeline for python to have that as a bespoke package? Truthfully, I miss typescript, but python has so much of the ecosystem that it has become our default

I am a typescript evangelist so I know how you feel 😅 I do believe it's on the roadmap but I'd have to double check with the team

No real rush. It’s not hurting anything necessarily. We just have a bigger docker image for a while
