9 years ago I don't remember much by now, but if I am not wrong mila-udem/blocks#569 should partially work in case the training is resumed from a checkpoint (i.e., it shouldn't preventing from resuming the training): it should open a new Plot filling it with the new data, but you would loose the data you had in the previous Plot. I am not sure though, it should be tested.
If I remember correctly, the Session was a reference to a single Plot object on a server (somewhat in the middle between a socket and a Plot object) and many inner behaviors of Bokeh relied on a "default session" object. This was the origin of many problems because whenever I created a new Plot it would create a new session, which would become the "default" one, making it impossible to write on the previous one(s).
My 2 cents: working with Bokeh has been a terrible experience. I hope they improved the documentation and changed the way session is handled, because when I used it last time it was really hard to understand what was going on behind the curtains and some of the inner elements of the framework were simply not accessible and not documented. On top of that, half of the documentation is built around some examples, which makes it very hard to find the information you are looking for. If they didn't improve these points, I suggest you don't waste your time on it and drop the support to Bokeh until it's usable.
This is all I remember, a more accurate description of the specific problem I had and of the solution we came up with can be found in a discussion on their forum: https://groups.google.com/a/continuum.io/forum/#!searchin/bokeh/fvisin/bokeh/snm3qxAIomI/YKloSfBsSTAJ

Looking into adding an extension for plotting filters and/or samples from image models I've noticed that things have gotten complicated with the Plot extension. At least two pull requests with potentially useful changes got tossed on the floor (I believe that was a mistake, even if the code was to be eventually moved here) and have since rotted ( mila-udem/blocks#447, mila-udem/blocks#569 ). Since half of our open issues on this repo concern Plot, maybe we should try and organize efforts to finally bring it up to working order.
@fvisin had what looked like a useful change in mila-udem/blocks#569 for each instance of Plot to keep track of the session rather than using
cursession(). @rizar had concerns about picklability that may or may not have to do with this. This seems necessary if we're going to move to multiple kinds of plotting extensions that all write to the same Bokeh document.Thoughts?
