Databricks Runtime 7.0 ML (unsupported)

Databricks released this image in June 2020.

Databricks Runtime 7.0 for Machine Learning provides a ready-to-go environment for machine learning and data science based on Databricks Runtime 7.0 (unsupported). Databricks Runtime ML contains many popular machine learning libraries, including TensorFlow, PyTorch, 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 and major changes

Databricks Runtime 7.0 ML is built on top of Databricks Runtime 7.0. For information on what’s new in Databricks Runtime 7.0, including Apache Spark MLlib and SparkR, see the Databricks Runtime 7.0 (unsupported) release notes.

GPU-aware scheduling

Databricks Runtime 7.0 ML supports GPU-aware scheduling from Apache Spark 3.0. Databricks automatically configures it for you. See GPU scheduling.

Major changes to ML Python environment

This section describes the major changes to the pre-installed ML Python environment compared to Databricks Runtime 6.6 ML (unsupported). You should also review the major changes to the base Python environment in Databricks Runtime 7.0 (unsupported). For a full list of installed Python packages and their versions, see Python libraries.

Major changes to ML R environment

Databricks Runtime 7.0 ML includes an unmodified version of RStudio Server Open Source v1.2.5033 for which the source code can be found in GitHub. Read more about RStudio Server on Databricks.

Changes to ML Spark packages, Java and Scala libraries

The following packages are upgraded. Some are upgraded to SNAPSHOT releases that are compatible with Apache Spark 3.0:

  • graphframes: 0.7.0-db1-spark2.4 -> 0.8.0-db2-spark3.0

  • spark-tensorflow-connector: 1.15.0 (Scala 2.11) -> 1.15.0 (Scala 2.12)

  • xgboost4j and xgboost4j-spark: 0.90 -> 1.0.0

  • mleap-databricks-runtime: 0.17.0-4882dc3 (SNAPSHOT)

The following packages are removed:

  • TensorFlow (Java)

  • TensorFrames

  • Deep Learning Pipelines for Apache Spark (HorovodRunner is available in Python)

Added conda and pip commands to support notebook-scoped Python libraries (public preview)

Starting with Databricks Runtime 7.0 ML, you can use %pip and %conda commands to manage Python libraries installed in a notebook session. You can also use these commands to create a custom environment for a notebook and to reproduce this environment between notebooks. To enable this feature, in cluster settings, set the Spark configuration spark.databricks.conda.condaMagic.enabled true. For more information, see Notebook-scoped Python libraries.

Deprecations and unsupported features

Databricks Runtime 7.0 ML does not support table access control. If you need table access control, we recommend that you use Databricks Runtime 7.0.

Known issues

  • If you’re logging an MLlib model in mleap format, when the sample_input argument is passed to mlflow.spark.log_model it fails with an AttributeError. This issue is caused by an API change to mleap. To work around this issue, upgrade to MLflow 1.9.0. You can install MLflow 1.9.0 using Notebook-scoped Python libraries.

System environment

The system environment in Databricks Runtime 7.0 ML differs from Databricks Runtime 7.0 as follows:
