0.11.0 / 2016-08-24¶

Major Points¶

DataFrames now enforce knowing full metadata (columns, dtypes) everywhere. Previously we would operate in an ambiguous state when functions lost dtype information (such as apply). Now all dataframes always know their dtypes and raise errors asking for information if they are unable to infer (which they usually can). Some internal attributes like _pd and _pd_nonempty have been moved.

The internals of the distributed scheduler have been refactored to transition tasks between explicit states. This improves resilience, reasoning about scheduling, plugin operation, and logging. It also makes the scheduler code easier to understand for newcomers.

Breaking Changes¶

The distributed.s3 and distributed.hdfs namespaces are gone. Use protocols in normal methods like read_text('s3://...' instead.
Dask.array.reshape now errs in some cases where previously it would have create a very large number of tasks

0.10.2 / 2016-07-27¶

More Dataframe shuffles now work in distributed settings, ranging from setting-index to hash joins, to sorted joins and groupbys.
Dask passes the full test suite when run when under in Python’s optimized-OO mode.
On-disk shuffles were found to produce wrong results in some highly-concurrent situations, especially on Windows. This has been resolved by a fix to the partd library.
Fixed a growth of open file descriptors that occurred under large data communications
Support ports in the --bokeh-whitelist option ot dask-scheduler to better routing of web interface messages behind non-trivial network settings
Some improvements to resilience to worker failure (though other known failures persist)
You can now start an IPython kernel on any worker for improved debugging and analysis
Improvements to dask.dataframe.read_hdf, especially when reading from multiple files and docs

0.10.0 / 2016-06-13¶

Major Changes¶

This version drops support for Python 2.6
Conda packages are built and served from conda-forge
The dask.distributed executables have been renamed from dfoo to dask-foo. For example dscheduler is renamed to dask-scheduler
Both Bag and DataFrame include a preliminary distributed shuffle.

Bag¶

Add task-based shuffle for distributed groupbys
Add accumulate for cumulative reductions

DataFrame¶

Add a task-based shuffle suitable for distributed joins, groupby-applys, and set_index operations. The single-machine shuffle remains untouched (and much more efficient.)
Add support for new Pandas rolling API with improved communication performance on distributed systems.
Add groupby.std/var
Pass through S3/HDFS storage options in read_csv
Improve categorical partitioning
Add eval, info, isnull, notnull for dataframes

Distributed¶

Rename executables like dscheduler to dask-scheduler
Improve scheduler performance in the many-fast-tasks case (important for shuffling)
Improve work stealing to be aware of expected function run-times and data sizes. The drastically increases the breadth of algorithms that can be efficiently run on the distributed scheduler without significant user expertise.
Support maximum buffer sizes in streaming queues
Improve Windows support when using the Bokeh diagnostic web interface
Support compression of very-large-bytestrings in protocol
Support clean cancellation of submitted futures in Joblib interface

Other¶

All dask-related projects (dask, distributed, s3fs, hdfs, partd) are now building conda packages on conda-forge.
Change credential handling in s3fs to only pass around delegated credentials if explicitly given secret/key. The default now is to rely on managed environments. This can be changed back by explicitly providing a keyword argument. Anonymous mode must be explicitly declared if desired.

0.9.0 / 2016-05-11¶

API Changes¶

dask.do and dask.value have been renamed to dask.delayed
dask.bag.from_filenames has been renamed to dask.bag.read_text
