Databricks Runtime 5.4 for 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 June 2019.

Databricks Runtime 5.4 for Machine Learning provides a ready-to-go environment for machine learning and data science based on Databricks Runtime 5.4 (EoS). Databricks Runtime 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 5.4 ML is built on top of Databricks Runtime 5.4. For information on what’s new in Databricks Runtime 5.4, see the Databricks Runtime 5.4 (EoS) release notes.

In addition to library updates, Databricks Runtime 5.4 ML introduces the following new features:

Distributed Hyperopt + automated MLflow tracking

Databricks Runtime 5.4 ML introduces a new implementation of Hyperopt powered by Apache Spark to scale and simplify hyperparameter tuning. A new Trials class SparkTrials is implemented to distribute Hyperopt trial runs among multiple machines and nodes using Apache Spark. In addition, all tuning experiments, along with the tuned hyperparameters and targeted metrics, are automatically logged to MLflow runs. See Parallelize Hyperopt hyperparameter tuning.

Important

This feature is in Public Preview.

Apache Spark MLlib + automated MLflow tracking

Databricks Runtime 5.4 ML supports automatic logging of MLflow runs for models fit using PySpark tuning algorithms CrossValidator and TrainValidationSplit. See Apache Spark MLlib and automated MLflow tracking. This feature is on by default in Databricks Runtime 5.4 ML but was off by default in Databricks Runtime 5.3 ML.

Important

This feature is in Public Preview.

HorovodRunner improvement

Output sent from Horovod to the Spark driver node is now visible in notebook cells.

XGBoost Python package update

XGBoost Python package 0.80 is installed.

System environment

The system environment in Databricks Runtime 5.4 ML differs from Databricks Runtime 5.4 as follows:

  • Python: 2.7.15 for Python 2 clusters and 3.6.5 for Python 3 clusters.
  • DBUtils: Databricks Runtime 5.4 ML does not contain Library utility (dbutils.library) (legacy).
  • For GPU clusters, the following NVIDIA GPU libraries:
    • Tesla driver 396.44
    • CUDA 9.2
    • CUDNN 7.2.1
