Migration guide from Kedro 0.16.1 to 0.16.2

Guide to apply the fix for %run_viz line magic in existing project

Even though this release ships a fix for project generated with kedro==0.16.2, after upgrading, you will still need to make a change in your existing project if it was generated with kedro>=0.16.0,<=0.16.1 for the fix to take effect. Specifically, please change the content of your project's IPython init script located at .ipython/profile_default/startup/00-kedro-init.py with the content of this file. You will also need kedro-viz>=3.3.1.

Migration guide from Kedro 0.15.* to 0.16.*

General Migration

reminder How do I upgrade Kedro covers a few key things to remember when updating any kedro version.

Migration for datasets

Since all the datasets (from kedro.io and kedro.contrib.io) were moved to kedro/extras/datasets you must update the type of all datasets in <project>/conf/base/catalog.yml file. Here how it should be changed: type: <SomeDataSet> -> type: <subfolder of kedro/extras/datasets>.<SomeDataSet> (e.g. type: CSVDataSet -> type: pandas.CSVDataSet).

In addition, all the specific datasets like CSVLocalDataSet, CSVS3DataSet etc. were deprecated. Instead, you must use generalized datasets like CSVDataSet. E.g. type: CSVS3DataSet -> type: pandas.CSVDataSet.

Note: No changes required if you are using your custom dataset.

Migration for Pipeline.transform()

Pipeline.transform() has been dropped in favour of the pipeline() constructor. The following changes apply:

  • Remember to import from kedro.pipeline import pipeline
  • The prefix argument has been renamed to namespace
  • And datasets has been broken down into more granular arguments:
    • inputs: Independent inputs to the pipeline
    • outputs: Any output created in the pipeline, whether an intermediary dataset or a leaf output
    • parameters: params:... or parameters

As an example, code that used to look like this with the Pipeline.transform() constructor:

result = my_pipeline.transform(
    datasets={"input": "new_input", "output": "new_output", "params:x": "params:y"},
    prefix="pre"
)

When used with the new pipeline() constructor, becomes:

from kedro.pipeline import pipeline

result = pipeline(
    my_pipeline,
    inputs={"input": "new_input"},
    outputs={"output": "new_output"},
    parameters={"params:x": "params:y"},
    namespace="pre"
)

Migration for decorators, color logger, transformers etc.

Since some modules were moved to other locations you need to update import paths appropriately. You can find the list of moved files in the 0.15.6 release notes under the section titled Files with a new location.

Migration for CLI and KEDRO_ENV environment variable

Note: If you haven't made significant changes to your kedro_cli.py, it may be easier to simply copy the updated kedro_cli.py .ipython/profile_default/startup/00-kedro-init.py and from GitHub or a newly generated project into your old project.

  • We've removed KEDRO_ENV_VAR from kedro.context. To get your existing project template working, you'll need to remove all instances of KEDRO_ENV_VAR from your project template:
    • From the imports in kedro_cli.py and .ipython/profile_default/startup/00-kedro-init.py: from kedro.context import KEDRO_ENV_VAR, load_context -> from kedro.framework.context import load_context
    • Remove the envvar=KEDRO_ENV_VAR line from the click options in run, jupyter_notebook and jupyter_lab in kedro_cli.py
    • Replace KEDRO_ENV_VAR with "KEDRO_ENV" in _build_jupyter_env
    • Replace context = load_context(path, env=os.getenv(KEDRO_ENV_VAR)) with context = load_context(path) in .ipython/profile_default/startup/00-kedro-init.py

Migration for kedro build-reqs

We have upgraded pip-tools which is used by kedro build-reqs to 5.x. This pip-tools version requires pip>=20.0. To upgrade pip, please refer to their documentation.

0.15.6

Major features and improvements

TL;DR We're launching kedro.extras, the new home for our revamped series of datasets, decorators and dataset transformers. The datasets in kedro.extras.datasets use fsspec to access a variety of data stores including local file systems, network file systems, cloud object stores (including S3 and GCP), and Hadoop, read more about this here. The change will allow #178 to happen in the next major release of Kedro.

An example of this new system can be seen below, loading the CSV SparkDataSet from S3:

weather:
  type: spark.SparkDataSet  # Observe the specified type, this  affects all datasets
  filepath: s3a://your_bucket/data/01_raw/weather*  # filepath uses fsspec to indicate the file storage system
  credentials: dev_s3
  file_format: csv

You can also load data incrementally whenever it is dumped into a directory with the extension to PartionedDataSet, a feature that allows you to load a directory of files. The IncrementalDataSet stores the information about the last processed partition in a checkpoint, read more about this feature here.

New features

  • Added layer attribute for datasets in kedro.extras.datasets to specify the name of a layer according to data engineering convention, this feature will be passed to kedro-viz in future releases.
  • Enabled loading a particular version of a dataset in Jupyter Notebooks and iPython, using catalog.load("dataset_name", version="<2019-12-13T15.08.09.255Z>").
  • Added property run_id on ProjectContext, used for versioning using the Journal. To customise your journal run_id you can override the private method _get_run_id().
  • Added the ability to install all optional kedro dependencies via pip install "kedro[all]".
  • Modified the DataCatalog's load order for datasets, loading order is the following:
    • kedro.io
    • kedro.extras.datasets
    • Import path, specified in type
  • Added an optional copy_mode flag to CachedDataSet and MemoryDataSet to specify (deepcopy, copy or assign) the copy mode to use when loading and saving.

  • Made bucket_name argument optional for the following datasets: CSVS3DataSet, HDFS3DataSet, PickleS3DataSet, contrib.io.parquet.ParquetS3DataSet, contrib.io.gcs.JSONGCSDataSet - bucket name can now be included into the filepath along with the filesystem protocol (e.g. s3://bucket-name/path/to/key.csv).
  • Documentation improvements and fixes.

Breaking changes to the API

  • Renamed entry point for running pip-installed projects to run_package() instead of main() in src/<package>/run.py.

  • Added get_last_load_version and get_last_save_version to AbstractVersionedDataSet.
  • Implemented __call__ method on Node to allow for users to execute my_node(input1=1, input2=2) as an alternative to my_node.run(dict(input1=1, input2=2)).
  • Added new --from-inputs run argument.

Bug fixes and other changes

  • Fixed a bug in load_context() not loading context in non-Kedro Jupyter Notebooks.
  • Fixed a bug in ConfigLoader.get() not listing nested files for **-ending glob patterns.
  • Fixed a logging config error in Jupyter Notebook.
  • Updated documentation in 03_configuration regarding how to modify the configuration path.
  • Documented the architecture of Kedro showing how we think about library, project and framework components.
  • extras/kedro_project_loader.py renamed to extras/ipython_loader.py and now runs any IPython startup scripts without relying on the Kedro project structure.
  • Fixed TypeError when validating partial function's signature.
  • After a node failure during a pipeline run, a resume command will be suggested in the logs. This command will not work if the required inputs are MemoryDataSets.

0.15.0

Major features and improvements

  • Added KedroContext base class which holds the configuration and Kedro's main functionality (catalog, pipeline, config, runner).
  • Added a new CLI command kedro jupyter convert to facilitate converting Jupyter Notebook cells into Kedro nodes.
  • Added support for pip-compile and new Kedro command kedro build-reqs that generates requirements.txt based on requirements.in.
  • Running kedro install will install packages to conda environment if src/environment.yml exists in your project.
  • Added a new --node flag to kedro run, allowing users to run only the nodes with the specified names.
  • Added new --from-nodes and --to-nodes run arguments, allowing users to run a range of nodes from the pipeline.
  • Added prefix params: to the parameters specified in parameters.yml which allows users to differentiate between their different parameter node inputs and outputs.
  • Jupyter Lab/Notebook now starts with only one kernel by default.
  • Added the following datasets:
    • CSVHTTPDataSet to load CSV using HTTP(s) links.
    • JSONBlobDataSet to load json (-delimited) files from Azure Blob Storage.
    • ParquetS3DataSet in contrib for usage with pandas. (by @mmchougule)
    • CachedDataSet in contrib which will cache data in memory to avoid io/network operations. It will clear the cache once a dataset is no longer needed by a pipeline. (by @tsanikgr)
    • YAMLLocalDataSet in contrib to load and save local YAML files. (by @Minyus)

Bug fixes and other changes

  • Documentation improvements including instructions on how to initialise a Spark session using YAML configuration.
  • anyconfig default log level changed from INFO to WARNING.
  • Added information on installed plugins to kedro info.
  • Added style sheets for project documentation, so the output of kedro build-docs will resemble the style of kedro docs.

Breaking changes to the API

  • Simplified the Kedro template in run.py with the introduction of KedroContext class.
  • Merged FilepathVersionMixIn and S3VersionMixIn under one abstract class AbstractVersionedDataSet which extendsAbstractDataSet.
  • name changed to be a keyword-only argument for Pipeline.
  • CSVLocalDataSet no longer supports URLs. CSVHTTPDataSet supports URLs.

Migration guide from Kedro 0.14.* to Kedro 0.15.0

Migration for Kedro project template

This guide assumes that:

  • The framework specific code has not been altered significantly
  • Your project specific code is stored in the dedicated python package under src/.

The breaking changes were introduced in the following project template files:

  • <project-name>/.ipython/profile_default/startup/00-kedro-init.py
  • <project-name>/kedro_cli.py
  • <project-name>/src/tests/test_run.py
  • <project-name>/src/<package-name>/run.py
  • <project-name>/.kedro.yml (new file)

The easiest way to migrate your project from Kedro 0.14.* to Kedro 0.15.0 is to create a new project (by using kedro new) and move code and files bit by bit as suggested in the detailed guide below:

  1. Create a new project with the same name by running kedro new

  2. Copy the following folders to the new project:

  • results/
  • references/
  • notebooks/
  • logs/
  • data/
  • conf/
  1. If you customised your src/<package>/run.py, make sure you apply the same customisations to src/<package>/run.py
  • If you customised get_config(), you can override config_loader property in ProjectContext derived class
  • If you customised create_catalog(), you can override catalog() property in ProjectContext derived class
  • If you customised run(), you can override run() method in ProjectContext derived class
  • If you customised default env, you can override it in ProjectContext derived class or pass it at construction. By default, env is local.
  • If you customised default root_conf, you can override CONF_ROOT attribute in ProjectContext derived class. By default, KedroContext base class has CONF_ROOT attribute set to conf.
  1. The following syntax changes are introduced in ipython or Jupyter notebook/labs:
  • proj_dir -> context.project_path
  • proj_name -> context.project_name
  • conf -> context.config_loader.
  • io -> context.catalog (e.g., io.load() -> context.catalog.load())

  1. If you customised your kedro_cli.py, you need to apply the same customisations to your kedro_cli.py in the new project.

  2. Copy the contents of the old project's src/requirements.txt into the new project's src/requirements.in and, from the project root directory, run the kedro build-reqs command in your terminal window.

Migration for versioning custom dataset classes

If you defined any custom dataset classes which support versioning in your project, you need to apply the following changes:

  1. Make sure your dataset inherits from AbstractVersionedDataSet only.
  2. Call super().__init__() with the appropriate arguments in the dataset's __init__. If storing on local filesystem, providing the filepath and the version is enough. Otherwise, you should also pass in an exists_function and a glob_function that emulate exists and glob in a different filesystem (see CSVS3DataSet as an example).
  3. Remove setting of the _filepath and _version attributes in the dataset's __init__, as this is taken care of in the base abstract class.
  4. Any calls to _get_load_path and _get_save_path methods should take no arguments.
  5. Ensure you convert the output of _get_load_path and _get_save_path appropriately, as these now return PurePaths instead of strings.
  6. Make sure _check_paths_consistency is called with PurePaths as input arguments, instead of strings.

These steps should have brought your project to Kedro 0.15.0. There might be some more minor tweaks needed as every project is unique, but now you have a pretty solid base to work with. If you run into any problems, please consult the Kedro documentation.

0.14.3

Major features and improvements

  • Tab completion for catalog datasets in ipython or jupyter sessions. (Thank you @datajoely and @WaylonWalker)
  • Added support for transcoding, an ability to decouple loading/saving mechanisms of a dataset from its storage location, denoted by adding '@' to the dataset name.
  • Datasets have a new release function that instructs them to free any cached data. The runners will call this when the dataset is no longer needed downstream.

Bug fixes and other changes

  • Add support for pipeline nodes made up from partial functions.
  • Expand user home directory ~ for TextLocalDataSet (see issue #19).
  • Add a short_name property to Nodes for a display-friendly (but not necessarily unique) name.
  • Add Kedro project loader for IPython: extras/kedro_project_loader.py.
  • Fix source file encoding issues with Python 3.5 on Windows.
  • Fix local project source not having priority over the same source installed as a package, leading to local updates not being recognised.

Breaking changes to the API

  • Remove the max_loads argument from the MemoryDataSet constructor and from the AbstractRunner.create_default_data_set method.

0.14.2

Major features and improvements

  • Added Data Set transformer support in the form of AbstractTransformer and DataCatalog.add_transformer.

Breaking changes to the API

  • Merged the ExistsMixin into AbstractDataSet.
  • Pipeline.node_dependencies returns a dictionary keyed by node, with sets of parent nodes as values; Pipeline and ParallelRunner were refactored to make use of this for topological sort for node dependency resolution and running pipelines respectively.
  • Pipeline.grouped_nodes returns a list of sets, rather than a list of lists.
