DSS 13 Release notes

Migration notes

How to upgrade

Pay attention to the warnings described in Limitations and warnings.

Migration paths to DSS 13

Limitations and warnings

Automatic migration from previous versions is supported (see above). Please pay attention to the following cautions, removal and deprecation notices.

Cautions

XGBoost models migration

(Introduced in 13.0)

DSS 13.0 now uses XGBoost 1.5 in the default VisualML setup.

No action is required on existing models when Optimized scoring is used for scoring. (Note that in particular, row-level explanations cannot use Optimized scoring.)

If Optimized scoring cannot be used, you can either:

Python 2.7 builtin env removal

(Introduced in 13.0)

Note

If you are using Dataiku Cloud or Dataiku Cloud Stacks, you do not need to pay attention to this

Very few Dataiku Custom customers are affected by this, as this was a very legacy setup.

Python 2.7 support for the builtin env of Dataiku was deprecated years ago and is now fully removed. If your builtin env was still Python 2.7, it will automatically migrate to Python 3. This may affect:

  • Existing code running on the builtin env, that may need adaptations to work in Python 3.

  • Machine Learning models, that will usually need to be retrained

Behavior change: handling of schema mismatch on SQL datasets

(Introduced in 13.1)

DSS will now by default refuse to drop SQL tables for managed datasets when the parent recipe is in append mode. In case of schema mismatch, the recipe now fails. This behavior can be reverted in the advanced settings of the output dataset

Models retraining

(Introduced in 13.2)

The following models, if trained using DSS’ built-in code environment, will need to be retrained after upgrading to remain usable for scoring:

  • Isolation Forest (AutoML Clustering Anomaly Detection)

  • Spectral clustering

  • KNN

Support removal

Some features that were previously announced as deprecated are now removed or unsupported

  • Hadoop distributions support

    • Support for Cloudera CDH 6

    • Support for Cloudera HDP 3

    • Support for Amazon EMR

  • OS support

    • Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux before 7.9

    • Support for CentOS 7 before 7.9

    • Support for Oracle Linux before 7.9

    • Support fot CentOS 8

  • Support for Java 8

  • Support for Python 2.7

  • Support for Spark 2

Deprecation notices

DSS 13 deprecates support for some features and versions. Support for these will be removed in a later release.

  • Support for Python 3.6 and Python 3.7

  • Support for Ubuntu 18.04

  • Support for RedHat 7

Version 13.2.0 - October 3rd, 2024

DSS 13.2.0 is a significant new release with both new features, performance enhancements and bugfixes.

New feature: Column-level Data Lineage

Column-level data lineage offers a new view that allows performing Root cause and Impact analysis on dataset columns:

  • When identifying a data-related issue, investigate the upstream pipeline to find where the data comes from.

  • Before performing any change on a dataset column, discover the potential impact on downstream datasets and projects.

For more details, please see Column-level Data Lineage

New feature: LLM evaluation recipe

Note

This feature is available in Private Preview as part of the Advanced LLM Mesh Early Adopter Program

When building GenAI applications, evaluating the quality of the output is paramount. The LLM evaluation recipe uses specific GenAI & LLM techniques to compute several metrics that are relevant to the specific cases of GenAI.

The metrics can be output to a Model Evaluation Store and compared across runs.

Individual outputs of the LLMs can also be reviewed and compared across runs.

New feature: Delete & Reconnect recipes

From the Flow, you can now easily delete a recipe and reconnect the subsequent recipe, in order to avoid breaking the Flow.

For more information, please see Inserting and deleting recipes

New feature: Microsoft Fabric OneLake SQL Connection

This new connection allows you to access data stored in Microsoft Fabric OneLake through Microsoft Fabric Warehouses.

New feature: repeating mode for datasets

Some datasets now have the ability to “repeat” themselves based on the rows of a secondary dataset.

This feature allows for example to:

  • Create a files-from-folder dataset using only the files whose names come from a secondary dataset

  • Create a SQL dataset based on multiple tables whose names come from a secondary dataset

New feature: repeating mode for SQL query recipe

The SQL query recipe can now execute several times, using variables subtitution with variables coming from a secondary dataset, to generate a single concatenated output dataset

New feature: filtering & repeating mode for export recipe

The export recipe can now filter rows, and can now execute several times, using variables subtitution with variables coming from a secondary dataset.

This can be used to generate multiple export files, each containing a part of the data. For example, you can use this to create one file per year, one file per country, …

New feature: Share projects by email

Project administrators can now grant permissions to access a project using an email address. If the email address does not match an existing user, an invitation email is sent and the permission grant is put on hold until their account is created.

This capability can be globally disabled by administrators.

Version 13.1.0 - August 14th, 2024

DSS 13.1.0 is a significant new release with both new features, performance enhancements and bugfixes.

New feature: Managed LLM fine-tuning

Note

This feature is available in Private Preview as part of the Advanced LLM Mesh Early Adopter Program

LLM Fine-tuning allows you to fine-tune LLMs using your data.

Fine-tuning is available:

  • Using a visual recipe for local models (HuggingFace) and OpenAI models

  • Using Python recipes for local models (HuggingFace)

For more information, please see Model fine-tuning

New feature: Gauge chart

The Gauge chart, also known as speedometer, is used to display data along a circular axis to demonstrate performance or progress. This axis can be colored to offer better segmentation and clarity.

../_images/gauge.png

New feature: Chart median and percentile aggregations

Charts (and pivot tables) can now display median, as well as arbitrary percentiles of numerical values

New feature: enhanced Python dataset read API

The Python API to read datasets has been enhanced with numerous new capabilities and performance improvements.

The new fast-path reading Dataset.get_native_dataframe method performs direct read from data sources. This provides massive performance improvements, especially when reading only a few columns out of a wide dataset. Fast-path reading is available for:

  • Parquet files stored in S3

  • Snowflake tables/views

For regular reading, the following have been added:

  • Ability to disable some thorough data checking, yielding performance improvements up to 50%

  • Ability to read some columns as categoricals to reduce memory usage (depending on the data, can be up to 10-100 times lower)

  • Ability to use pandas “nullable integers”, allowing to read integer columns with missing values as integers (rather than floating-point values)

  • Ability to precisely match integer types to reduce memory usage (up to 8x for columns containing only tinyints)

  • Added ability to completely override dtypes when reading

For samples and documentation, please see the Developer Guide

New feature: Builtin Git merging

In addition to the existing ability to push projects and branches to remote Git repositories and perform merges there, you can now perform Git merges directly within Dataiku, including the ability to view and resolve merge conflicts
