Databricks Runtime 6.3 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 January 2020.

Databricks Runtime 6.3 for Machine Learning provides a ready-to-go environment for machine learning and data science based on Databricks Runtime 6.3 (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 6.3 ML is built on top of Databricks Runtime 6.3. For information on what’s new in Databricks Runtime 6.3, see the Databricks Runtime 6.3 (EoS) release notes.

Improvements

Upgraded machine learning libraries

  • PyTorch: 1.3.0 to 1.3.1
  • torchvision: 0.4.1 to 0.4.2 - includes an optimized video reader backend
  • MLflow: 1.4.0 to 1.5.0
    • Includes support for LightGBM, XGBoost, and Gluon flavors.
    • Fixed a bug where MLflow projects could not be executed against Databricks Runtime ML clusters.
    • For more details, see the MLflow 1.5.0 release.
  • Hyperopt: 0.2.1 to 0.2.2 - Updates include:
    • Fixed a bug in ATPE (Adaptiv-TPE), where the algorithm did not work properly with hp.choice and hp.randint.

    • Fixed some bugs in using tqdm, a Python module for reporting progress. For example, the progress bar was sometimes incorrect when executing parallel fmin().

    • Now warns about Spark task retries for long running trials. When retries are enabled and trial runs are making slow progress, this message will be printed:

      SparkTrials found that the Spark conf 'spark.task.maxFailures' is set to 4, which will make trials re-run automatically if they fail.
      If failures can occur from bad hyperparameter settings, or if trials are very long-running, then retries may not be a good idea.
      Consider setting spark.conf.set('spark.task.maxFailures', '1') to prevent retries.
      
    • Other small fixes. For details, see the Hyperopt 0.2.2 release.

Bug fixes

Fixed an issue that caused some missing cluster metrics, which happens frequently on GPU clusters with multi-GPU nodes.
