Databricks Runtime 5.3 ML (EoS)
Note
Support for this Databricks Runtime version has ended. For the end-of-support date, see End-of-support history. For all supported Databricks Runtime versions, see Databricks Runtime release notes versions and compatibility.
Databricks released this version in April 2019.
Databricks Runtime 5.3 ML provides a ready-to-go environment for machine learning and data science based on Databricks Runtime 5.3 (EoS). Databricks Runtime for ML contains many popular machine learning libraries, including TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, and XGBoost. It also supports distributed deep learning training using Horovod.
For more information, including instructions for creating a Databricks Runtime ML cluster, see AI and machine learning on Databricks.
New features
Databricks Runtime 5.3 ML is built on top of Databricks Runtime 5.3. For information on what's new in Databricks Runtime 5.3, see the Databricks Runtime 5.3 (EoS) release notes. In addition to library updates, Databricks Runtime 5.3 ML introduces the following new features:
MLflow + Apache Spark MLlib integration: Databricks Runtime 5.3 ML supports automatic logging of MLflow runs for models fit using PySpark tuning algorithms
CrossValidatorandTrainValidationSplit.Important
This feature is in Private Preview. Contact your Azure Databricks sales representative to learn about enabling it.
Upgrades the following libraries to the latest version:
- PyArrow from 0.8.0 to 0.12.1:
BinaryTypeis supported by Arrow-based conversion and can be used in PandasUDF. - Horovod from 0.15.2 to 0.16.0.
- TensorboardX from 1.4 to 1.6.
- PyArrow from 0.8.0 to 0.12.1:
The Databricks ML Model Export API has been deprecated. Azure Databricks recommends using MLeap instead, which provides broader coverage of MLlib model types. Find out more at MLeap ML model export.
Note
In addition, Databricks Runtime 5.3 contains a new FUSE mount optimized for data loading, model checkpointing, and logging from each worker to a shared storage location file:/dbfs/ml, which provides high-performance I/O for deep learning workloads. See Load data for machine learning and deep learning.
Maintenance updates
