Disable Progress bars for Train/Validation/Predict separately

🚀 Feature

Currently we can turn off progress bars by setting enable_progress_bar=False but this is an all or nothing solution.

Motivation

I am using PL trainer to make predictions in a small customer facing prototype, the progress bars make the output look very different to the previous solution we are proposing a drop in solution for. We can disable all the progress bars but it’s useful to have them for monitoring training even if we do not want them when calling predict.

Pitch

Additional kwargs to disable progress bars for Trainer.predict calls

You could create a new Trainer instance for prediction with the progress bar disabled.

@justusschock We discussed adding such function in the past. I think it makes sense.

Do you mind writing a proposal in a separate issue about it? Closing this as I don’t want to sidetrack the original question.
