Migrate to v3.x of the Read OCR container

  • מאמר

If you're using version 2 of the Azure AI Vision Read OCR container, use this article to learn how to upgrade your application to use version 3.x of the container.

API changes

The Read v3.2 container uses version 3 of the Azure AI Vision API and has the following endpoints:

  • /vision/v3.2/read/analyzeResults/{operationId}
  • /vision/v3.2/read/analyze
  • /vision/v3.2/read/syncAnalyze

See the Azure AI Vision v3 REST API migration guide for detailed information on updating your applications to use version 3 of the Read API. Synchronous operations are only supported in containers.

Configuration changes

  • ReadEngineConfig:ResultExpirationPeriod is no longer supported. The Read OCR container has a built Cron job that removes the results and metadata associated with a request after 48 hours.
  • Cache:Redis:Configuration is no longer supported. The Cache isn't used in the v3.x containers, so you don't need to set it.

Memory requirements

The requirements and recommendations are based on benchmarks with a single request per second, using a 523-KB image of a scanned business letter that contains 29 lines and a total of 803 characters. The following table describes the minimum and recommended allocations of resources for each Read OCR container.

Container Minimum Recommended
Read 3.2 2022-04-30 4 cores, 8-GB memory 8 cores, 16-GB memory

Each core must be at least 2.6 gigahertz (GHz) or faster.

Core and memory correspond to the --cpus and --memory settings, which are used as part of the docker run command.

Storage implementations

Note

MongoDB is no longer supported in 3.x versions of the container. Instead, the containers support Azure Storage and offline file systems.

Implementation Required runtime argument(s)
File level (default) No runtime arguments required. /share directory will be used.
Azure Blob Storage:ObjectStore:AzureBlob:ConnectionString={AzureStorageConnectionString}

Queue implementations

In v3.x of the container, RabbitMQ is currently not supported. The supported backing implementations are:

Implementation Runtime Argument(s) Intended use
In Memory (default) No runtime arguments required. Development and testing
Azure Queues Queue:Azure:ConnectionString={AzureStorageConnectionString} Production
RabbitMQ Unavailable Production

For added redundancy, the Read v3.x container uses a visibility timer to ensure requests can be successfully processed if a crash occurs when running in a multi-container setup.

Set the timer with Queue:Azure:QueueVisibilityTimeoutInMilliseconds, which sets the time for a message to be invisible when another worker is processing it. To avoid pages from being redundantly processed, we recommend setting the timeout period to 120 seconds. The default value is 30 seconds.

Default value Recommended value
30000 120000
