Changelog

Version 5.3.0 (2021-12-10)

  • Add Deprecation warnings and migration helpers in order to facilitate the Kartothek version 6.0.0 migration.

  • Removed warning for distinct categoricals (#501)

Version 5.2.0 (2021-11-22)

  • Remove support for Python 3.6

  • Allow pyarrow<7 as a dependency.

Version 5.1.0 (2021-07-05)

Version 5.0.0 (2021-06-23)

This release rolls all the changes introduced with 4.x back to 3.20.0.

As the incompatibility between 4.0 and 5.0 will be an issue for some customers, we encourage you to use the very stable kartothek 3.20.0 and not version 4.x.

Please refer the Issue #471 for further information.

Kartothek 4.0.3 (2021-06-10)

  • Pin dask to not use 2021.5.1 and 2020.6.0 (#475)

Kartothek 4.0.2 (2021-06-07)

  • Fix a bug in MetaPartition._reconstruct_index_columns that would raise an IndexError when loading few columns of a dataset with many primary indices.

Kartothek 4.0.1 (2021-04-13)

  • Fixed dataset corruption after updates when table names other than “table” are used (#445).

Kartothek 4.0.0 (2021-03-17)

This is a major release of kartothek with breaking API changes.

  • Removal of complex user input (see gh427)

  • Removal of multi table feature

  • Removal of kartothek.io.merge module

  • class DatasetMetadata now has an attribute called schema which replaces the previous attribute table_meta and returns only a single schema

  • All outputs which previously returned a sequence of dictionaries where each key-value pair would correspond to a table-data pair now returns only one pandas.DataFrame

  • All read pipelines will now automatically infer the table to read such that it is no longer necessary to provide table or table_name as an input argument

  • All writing pipelines which previously supported a complex user input type now expose an argument table_name which can be used to continue usage of legacy datasets (i.e. datasets with an intrinsic, non-trivial table name). This usage is discouraged and we recommend users to migrate to a default table name (i.e. leave it None / table)

  • All pipelines which previously accepted an argument tables to select the subset of tables to load no longer accept this keyword. Instead the to-be-loaded table will be inferred

  • Trying to read a multi-tabled dataset will now cause an exception telling users that this is no longer supported with kartothek 4.0

  • The dict schema for to_dict() and from_dict() changed replacing a dictionary in table_meta with the simple schema

  • All pipeline arguments which previously accepted a dictionary of sequences to describe a table specific subset of columns now accept plain sequences (e.g. columns, categoricals)

  • Remove the following list of deprecated arguments for io pipelines * label_filter * central_partition_metadata * load_dynamic_metadata * load_dataset_metadata * concat_partitions_on_primary_index

  • Remove output_dataset_uuid and df_serializer from kartothek.io.eager.commit_dataset() since these arguments didn’t have any effect

  • Remove metadata, df_serializer, overwrite, metadata_merger from kartothek.io.eager.write_single_partition()

  • store_dataframes_as_dataset() now requires a list as an input

  • Default value for argument date_as_object is now universally set to True. The behaviour for False will be deprecated and removed in the next major release

  • No longer allow to pass delete_scope as a delayed object to update_dataset_from_ddf()

  • update_dataset_from_ddf() and store_dataset_from_ddf() now return a dd.core.Scalar object. This enables all dask.DataFrame graph optimizations by default.

  • Remove argument table_name from collect_dataset_metadata()

Version 3.20.0 (2021-03-15)

This will be the final release in the 3.X series. Please ensure your existing codebase does not raise any DeprecationWarning from kartothek and migrate your import paths ahead of time to the new kartothek.api modules to ensure a smooth migration to 4.X.

Version 3.19.1 (2021-02-24)

  • Allow pyarrow==3 as a dependency.

  • Fixed the import issue of zstd module for kartothek.core _zmsgpack.
