Major features and improvements
- Supported passing
database
toibis.TableDataset
for load and save operations. - Added functionality to save pandas DataFrames directly to Snowflake, facilitating seamless
.csv
ingestion. - Added Python 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11 support for
snowflake.SnowflakeTableDataset
. - Enabled connection sharing between
ibis.FileDataset
andibis.TableDataset
instances, thereby allowing nodes to save data loaded by one to the other (as long as they share the same connection configuration). - Added the following new experimental datasets:
Type | Description | Location |
---|---|---|
databricks.ExternalTableDataset |
A dataset for accessing external tables in Databricks. | kedro_datasets_experimental.databricks |
safetensors.SafetensorsDataset |
A dataset for securely saving and loading files in the SafeTensors format. | kedro_datasets_experimental.safetensors |
Bug fixes and other changes
- Delayed backend connection for
pandas.GBQTableDataset
. In practice, this means that a dataset's connection details aren't used (or validated) until the dataset is accessed. On the plus side, the cost of connection isn't incurred regardless of when or whether the dataset is used. Furthermore, this makes the dataset object serializable (e.g. for use withParallelRunner
), because the unserializable client isn't part of it. - Removed the unused BigQuery client created in
pandas.GBQQueryDataset
. This makes the dataset object serializable (e.g. for use withParallelRunner
) by removing the unserializable object. - Implemented Snowflake's local testing framework for testing purposes.
- Improved the dependency management for Spark-based datasets by refactoring the Spark and Databricks utility functions used across the datasets.
- Added deprecation warning for
tracking.MetricsDataset
andtracking.JSONDataset
. - Moved
kedro-catalog
JSON schemas from Kedro core tokedro-datasets
.
Breaking Changes
- Demoted
video.VideoDataset
from core to experimental dataset. - Removed file handling capabilities from
ibis.TableDataset
. Useibis.FileDataset
to load and save files with an Ibis backend instead.
