tensorflow/tfx v0.26.0-rc0

TFX 0.26.0-rc0

on GitHub

Major Features and Improvements

• Supported output examples artifact for BulkInferrer which can be used to
  link with downstream training.
• TFX Transform switched to a (notably) faster and more accurate
  implementation of tft.quantiles analyzer.
• Added native TF 2 implementation of Transform. The default
  behavior will continue to use Tensorflow's compat.v1 APIs. This can be
  overriden by passing force_tf_compat_v1=False and enabling TF 2 behaviors.
  The default behavior for TF 2 will be switched to the new native
  implementation in a future release.
• Added support for passing a callable to set pre/post transform statistic
  generation options.

Breaking changes

• Wheel package building for TFX has changed, and users need to follow the
  [new TFX package build instructions]
  (https://github.com/tensorflow/tfx/blob/master/package_build/README.md) to
  build wheels for TFX.

Deprecations

• TrainerFnArgs is deprecated by FnArgs.
• Deprecated DockerComponentConfig class: user should set a DockerPlatformConfig
  proto in platform_config using with_platform_config() API instead.

Bug fixes and other changes

• Official TFX container image's entrypoint is changed so the image can be
  used as a custom worker for Dataflow.
• In the published TFX container image, wheel files are now used to install
  TFX, and the TFX source code has been moved to /tfx/src.
• Added a skeleton of CLI support for Kubeflow V2 runner, and implemented
  support for pipeline operations.
• Added an experimental template to use with Kubeflow V2 runner.
• Added sanitization of user-specified pipeline name in Kubeflow V2 runner.
• Migrated deployment_config in Kubeflow V2 runner from Any proto message
  to Struct, to ensure compatibility across different copies of the proto
  libraries.
• The tfx.dsl.io.fileio filesystem handler will delegate to
  tensorflow.io.gfile for any unknown filesystem schemes if TensorFlow
  is installed.
