- The semantics of Cron inputs have changed slightly, each tick will now be a separate file unless the
Overwrite
flag is set to true, which will get you the old behavior. The name of the emitted file is now the timestamp that triggered the cron, rather than a static filename. Pipelines that use cron will need to be updated to work in 1.8.6. See the docs for more info. (#3509) - 1.8.6 contains alpha support for a new kind of pipeline, spouts, which take no inputs and run continuously outputting (or spouting) data. Documentation and an example of spout usage will be in a future release. (#3531)
- New debug commands have been added to
pachctl
to easily profile running pachyderm clusters. They aredebug-profile
debug-binary
anddebug-pprof
. See the docs for these commands for more information. (#3559) - The performance of
list-job
has been greatly improved. (#3557) pachctl undeploy
now asks for confirmation in all cases. (#3535)- Logging has been unified and made less verbose. (#3532)
- Bogus output in with
--raw
flags has been removed. (#3523, thanks to @mdaniel) - Fixes a bug in
list-file --history
that would cause it to fail with too many files. (#3516) pachctl deploy
is more liberal in what it accepts for bucket names. (#3506)pachctl
now respects Kubernetes auth when port-forwarding. (#3504)- Output repos now report non-zero sizes, the size reported is that of the HEAD commit of the master branch. (#3475)
- Pachyderm will no longer mutate custom image names when there's no registry. (#3487, thanks to @mdaniel)
- Fixes a bug that caused
pod_patch
andpod_spec
to be reapplied over themselves. (#3484, thanks to @mdaniel)
- New shuffle step which should improve the merge performance on certain workloads.
- Azure Blob Storage block size has been changed to 4MB due to object body too large errors. (#3464)
- Fixed a bug in
--no-metrics
and--no-port-forwarding
. (#3462) - Fixes a bug that caused
list-job
to panic if theReason
field was too short. (#3453)
--push-images
oncreate-pipeline
has been replaced with--build
which builds and pushes docker images. (#3370)- Fixed a bug that would cause malformed config files to panic pachctl. (#3336)
- Port-forwarding will now happen automatically when commands are run. (#3340)
- Fix bug where
create-pipeline
accepts names which Kubernetes considers invalid. (#3344) - Fix a bug where put-file would respond
master not found
for an open commit. (#3184) - Fix a bug where jobs with stats enabled and no datums would never close their stats commit. (#3355)
- Pipelines now reject files paths with utf8 unprintable characters. (#3356)
- Fixed a bug in the Azure driver that caused it to choke on large files. (#3378)
- Fixed a bug that caused pipelines go into a loop and log a lot when they were stopped. (#3397)
ADDRESS
has been renamed toPACHD_ADDRESS
to be less generic.ADDRESS
will still work for the remainder of the 1.8.x series of releases. (#3415)- The
pod_spec
field in pipelines has been revamped to use JSON Merge Patch (rfc7386) Additionally, a field,pod_patch
has been added the the pipeline spec which is similar topod_spec
but uses JSON Patches (rfc6902) instead. (#3427) - Pachyderm developer names should no longer appear in backtraces. (#3436)
- Updated support for GPUs (through device plugins).
- Adds support for viewing file history via the
--history
flag tolist-file
(#3277, #3299). - Adds a new job state,
merging
which indicates that a job has finished processing everything and is merging the results together (#3261). - Fixes a bug that prevented s3
put-file
from working (#3273). atom
inputs have been renamed topfs
inputs. They behave the same,atom
still works but is deprecated and will be removed in 1.9.0 (#3258).- Removed
message
anddescription
fromput-file
, they don't work with the new multiput-file
features and weren't commonly used enough to reimplement. For similar functionality usestart-commit
(#3251).
- Completely rewritten hashtree backend that provides massive performance boosts.
- Single sign-on Auth via Okta.
- Support for groups and robot users.
- Support for splitting file formats with headers and footers such as SQL and CSV.
- Adds
put-file --split
support for SQL dumps. (#3064) - Adds support for headers and footers for data types passed to
--split
such as CSV and the above mentioned SQL. (#3064) - Adds support for accessing previous versions of pipelines using the same syntax as is used with commits. I.e.
pachctl inspect-pipeline foo^
will give the previous version offoo
. (#3159) - Adds support in pipelines for additional Kubernetes primitives on workers, including: node selectors, priority class and storage requests and limits. Additionally there is now a field in the pipeline spec
pod_spec
that allows you to set any field on the pod using json. (#3169)
- Moves garbage collection over to a bloom filter based indexing method. This
greatly decreases the amount of memory that garbage collection requires, at the
cost of a small probability of not deleting objects that should be. Garbage
collection can be made more accurate by using more memory with the flag
--memory
passed topachctl garbage-collect
. (#3161)
- Fixes multiple issues that could cause jobs to hang when they encountered intermittent errors such as network hiccups. (#3155)
- Greatly improves the performance of the pfs FUSE implementation. Performance should be close to on par with the that of pachctl get-file. The only trade-off is that the new implementation will use disk space to cache file contents. (#3140)
- Pachyderm's FUSE support (
pachctl mount
) has been rewritten. (#3088) put-file
requests that put files from multiple sources (-i
or-r
) now create a single commit. (#3118)- Fixes a bug that caused
put-file
to throw spurious warnings about URL formatted paths. (#3117) - Several fixes have been made to which user code runs as to allow services such as Jupyter to work out of the box. (#3085)
pachctl
now hasauth set-config
andauth get-config
commands. (#3095)
- Workers no longer run privileged containers. (#3031) To achieve this a few modifications had to be made to the
/pfs
directory that may impact some user code. Directories under/pfs
are now symlinks to directories, previously they were bind-mounts (which requires that the container be privileged). Furthermore there's now a hidden directory under/pfs
called.scratch
which contains the directories that the symlinks under/pfs
point to. - The number of times datums are retries is now configurable. (#3033)
- Fixed a bug that could cause Kubernetes errors to prevent pipelines from coming up permanently. (#3043, #3005)
- Robot users can now modify admins. (#3049)
- Fixed a bug that could permanently lock robot-only admins out of the cluster. (#3050)
- Fixed a couple of bugs (#3045, #3046) that occurred when a pipeline was rapidly updated several times. (#3054)
restore
now propagates user credentials, allowing it to work on clusters with auth turned on. (#3057)- Adds a
debug-dump
command which dumps running goroutines from the cluster. (#3078) pachd
now prints a full goroutine dump if it encounters an error. (#3103)
- Fixes a bug that prevented image pull secrets from propagating through
pachctl deploy
. (#2956, thanks to @jkinkead) - Fixes a bug that made
get-file
fail on empty files. (#2960) ListFile
andGlobFile
now return results leixcographically sorted. (#2972)- Fixes a bug that caused
Extract
to crash. (#2973) - Fixes a bug that caused pachd to crash when given a pipeline without a name field. (#2974)
- Adds dial options to the Go client's connect methods. (#2978)
pachctl get-logs
now accepts-p
as a synonym for--pipeline
. (#3009, special thanks to @jdelfino)- Fixes a bug that caused connections to leak in the vault plugin. (#3016)
- Fixes a bug that caused incremental pipelines that are downstream from other pipelines to not run incrementally. (#3023)
- Updates monitoring deployments to use the latest versions of Influx, Prometheus and Grafana. (#3026)
- Fixes a bug that caused
update-pipeline
to modify jobs that had already run. (#3028)
- Fixes an issue that caused etcd deployment to fail when using a StatefulSet. (#2929, #2937)
- Fixes an issue that prevented pipelines from starting up. (#2949)
- Pachyderm now exposes metrics via Prometheus. (#2856)
- File commands now all support globbing syntax. I.e. you can do pachctl list-file ... foo/*. (#2870)
- garbage-collect is now safer and less error prone. (#2912)
- put-file no longer requires starting (or finishing) a commit. Similar to put-file -c, but serverside. (#2890)
- pachctl deploy --dry-run can now output YAML as well as JSON. Special thanks to @jkinkead. (#2872)
- Requirements on pipeline container images have been removed. (#2897)
- Pachyderm no longer requires privileged pods. (#2887)
- Fixes several issues that prevented deleting objects in degraded states. (#2912)
- Fixes bugs that could cause stats branches to not be cleaned up. (#2855)
- Fixes 2 bugs related to auth services not coming up completely. (#2843)
- Fixes a bug that prevented pachctl deploy storage amazon from working. (#2863)
- Fixes a class of bugs that occurred due to misuse of our collections package. (#2865)
- Fixes a bug that caused list-job to delete old jobs if you weren't logged in. (#2879)
- Fixes a bug that caused put-file --split to create too many goroutines. (#2906)
- Fixes a bug that prevent deploying to AWS using an IAM role. (#2913)
- Pachyderm now deploys and uses the latest version of etcd. (#2914)
- Introduces a new model for scaling up and down pipeline workers. Read more.
- It's now possible to run Pachyderm without workers needing access to the docker socket. (#2813)
- Fixes a bug that caused stats enabled pipelines to get stuck in a restart loop if they were deleted and recreated. (#2816)
- Fixes a bug that broke logging due to removing newlines between log messages. (#2852)
- Fixes a bug that caused pachd to segfault when etcd didn't come up properly. (#2840)
- Fixes a bug that would cause jobs to occasionally fail with a "broken pipe" error. (#2832)
pachctl version
now supports the--raw
flag like otherpachctl
commands. (#2817)- Fixes a bug that caused
max_queue_size
to be ignored in pipelines. (#2818)
- Implements a new algorithm for triggering jobs in response to new commits.
- Pachyderm now tracks subvenance, the inverse of provenance.
- Branches now track provenance and subvenance.
- Restrictions on delete-commit have been removed, you can now delete any input commit and the DAG will repair itself appropriately.
- Pachyderm workers no longer use long running grpc requests to schedule work, they use an etcd based queue instead. This solves a number of bugs we had with larger jobs.

- Fixes a bug in extract that prevented some migrations from completing.
- Adds admin commands extract and restore.
- Fixed an issue that could cause output data to get doubled. (#2644)

New Features:
- Cron Inputs
- Access Control Model
- Advanced Statistic tracking for jobs
- Extended UI
Bug Fixes:
- Fix an issue that prevented deployment on GCE #2139
- Fix an issue that could cause jobs to hang due to lockups with bind mounts. #2178
- FromCommit in pipelines is now exclusive and able to be used with branch names as well as commit ids. #2180
- Egress was broken for certain object stores, this should be fixed now. #2156
New Features:
- Union inputs can now be given the same name, making union much more ergonomic. #2174
- PutFile now has an
--overwrite
flag which overwrites the previous version of the file rather than appending. #2142 - We've introduce a new type of input,
Cron
, which can be used to trigger pipelines based on time. #2150.
- A pipeline can get stuck after repeated worker failures. (#2064)
pachctl port-forward
can leave a orphaned process after it exits. (#2098)alpine
-based pipelines fail to load input data. (#2118)- Logs are written to the object store even when stats is not enabled, slowing down the pipeline unnecessarily. (#2119)
- Pipelines now support the “stats” feature. See the docs for details. (#1998)
- Pipeline cache size is now configurable. See the docs for details. (#2033)
pachctl update-pipeline
now only process new input data with the new code; the old input data is not re-processed. If it’s desired that all data are re-processed, use the--reprocess
flag. See the docs for details. (#2034)- Pipeline workers now support “pipelining”, meaning that they start downloading the next datums while processing the current datum, thereby improving overall throughput. (#2057)
- The
scaleDownThreshold
feature has been improved such that when a pipeline is scaled down, the remaining worker only takes up minimal system resources. (#2091)
- Downstream repos' provenance is not updated properly when
update-pipeline
changes the inputs for a pipeline. (#1958) pachctl version
blocks when pachctl doesn't have Internet connectivity. (#1971)incremental
misbehaves when files are deeply nested. (#1974)- An
incremental
pipeline blocks if there's provenance among its inputs. (#2002) - PPS fails to create subsequent pipelines if any pipeline failed to be created. (#2004)
- Pipelines sometimes reprocess datums that have already been processed. (#2008)
- Putting files into open commits fails silently. (#2014)
- Pipelines with inputs that use different branch names fail to create jobs. (#2015)
get-logs
returns incomplete logs. (#2019)
- You can now use
get-file
andlist-file
on open commits. (#1943)
- Fixes bugs that caused us to swamp etcd with traffic.
- Fixes a bug that could cause corruption to in pipeline output.
- Readds incremental processing mode
- Adds
DiffFile
which is similar in function togit diff
- Adds the ability to use cloudfront as a caching layer for additional scalability on aws.
DeletePipeline
now allows you to delete the output repos as well.DeletePipeline
andDeleteRepo
now support a--all
flag
- Removes one-off jobs, they were a rarely used feature and the same behavior can be replicated with pipelines
- Copy elision does not work for directories. (#1803)
- Deleting a file in a closed commit fails silently. (#1804)
- Pachyderm has trouble processing large files. (#1819)
- etcd uses an unexpectedly large amount of space. (#1824)
pachctl mount
prints lots of benevolent FUSE errors. (#1840)
create-repo
andcreate-pipeline
now accept the--description
flag, which creates the repo/pipeline with a "description" field. You can then see the description viainspect-repo/inspect-pipeline
. (#1805)- Pachyderm now supports garbage collection, i.e. removing data that's no longer referenced anywhere. See the docs for details. (#1826)
- Pachyderm now has GPU support! See the docs for details. (#1835)
- Most commands in
pachctl
now support the--raw
flag, which prints the raw JSON data as opposed to pretty-printing. For instance,pachctl inspect-pipeline --raw
would print something akin to a pipeline spec. (#1839) pachctl
now supportsdelete-commit
, which allows for deleting a commit that's not been finished. This is useful when you have added the wrong data in a commit and you want to start over.- The web UI has added a file viewer, which allows for viewing PFS file content in the browser.
get-logs
returns errors along the lines ofInvalid character…
. (#1741)- etcd is not properly namespaced. (#1751)
- A job might get stuck if it uses
cp -r
with lazy files. (#1757) - Pachyderm can use a huge amount of memory, especially when it processes a large number of files. (#1762)
- etcd returns
database space exceeded
errors after the cluster has been running for a while. (#1771) - Jobs crashing might eventually lead to disk space being exhausted. (#1772)
port-forward
uses wrong port for UI websocket requests to remote clusters (#1754)- Pipelines can end up with no running workers when the cluster is under heavy load. (#1788)
- API calls can start returning
context deadline exceeded
when the cluster is under heavy load. (#1796)
- Union input: a pipeline can now take the union of inputs, in addition to the cross-product of them. Note that the old
inputs
field in the pipeline spec has been deprecated in favor of the newinput
field. See the pipeline spec for details. (#1665) - Copy elision: a pipeline that shuffles files can now be made more efficient by simply outputting symlinks to input files. See the docs on shuffling files for details. (#1791)
pachctl glob-file
: ever wonder if your glob pattern actually works? Wonder no more. You can now usepachctl glob-file
to see the files that match a given glob pattern. (#1795)- Workers no longer send/receive data through pachd. As a result, pachd is a lot more responsive and stable even when there are many ongoing jobs. (#1742)
- Fix a bug where pachd may crash after creating/updating a pipeline that has many input commits. (#1678)
- Rules for determining when input data is re-processed are made more intuitive. Before, if you update a pipeline without updating the
transform
, the input data is not re-processed. Now, different pipelines or different versions of pipelines always re-process data, even if they have the sametransform
. (#1685) - Fix several issues with jobs getting stuck. (#1717)
- Fix several issues with lazy pipelines getting stuck. (#1721)
- Fix an issue with Minio deployment that results in job crash loop. (#1723)
- Fix an issue where a job can crash if it outputs a large number of files. (#1724)
- Fix an issue that causes intermittent gRPC errors. (#1727)
- Pachyderm now ships with a web UI! To deploy a new Pachyderm cluster with the UI, use
pachctl deploy <arguments> --dashboard
. To deploy the UI onto an existing cluster, usepachctl deploy <arguments> --dashboard-only
. To access the UI, simplypachctl port-forward
, then go tolocalhost:38080
. Note that the web UI is currently in alpha; expect bugs and significant changes. - You can now specify the amount of resources (i.e. CPU & memory) used by Pachyderm and etcd. See
pachctl deploy --help
for details. (#1676) - You can now specify the amount of resources (i.e. CPU & memory) used by your pipelines. See the pipeline spec for details. (#1683)
- A job can fail to restart when encountering an internal error.
- A deployment with multiple pachd nodes can get stalled jobs.
delete-pipeline
is supposed to have the--delete-jobs
flag but doesn't.delete-pipeline
can fail if there are many jobs in the pipeline.update-pipeline
can fail if the original pipeline has not outputted any commits.- pachd can crash if etcd is flaky.
- pachd memory can be easily exhausted on GCE deployments.
- If a pipeline is created with multiple input commits already present, all jobs spawn and run in parallel. After the fix, jobs always run serially.
- Pachyderm now supports auto-scaling: a pipeline's worker pods can be terminated automatically when the pipeline has been idle for a configurable amount of time. See the
scaleDownThreshold
field of the pipeline spec for details. - The processing of a datum can be restarted manually via
restart-datum
. - Workers' statuses are now exposed through
inspect-job
. - A job can be stopped manually via
stop-job
.
- Pipelines with multiple inputs process only a subset of data.
- Workers may fall into a crash loop under certain circumstances. (#1606)
list-job
andinspect-job
now display a job's progress, i.e. they display the number of datums processed thus far, and the total number of datums.delete-pipeline
now accepts an option (--delete-jobs
) that deletes all jobs in the pipeline. (#1540)- Azure deployments now support dynamic provisioning of volumes.
- Certain network failures may cause a job to be stuck in the
running
state forever. - A job might get triggered even if one of its inputs is empty.
- Listing or getting files from an empty output commit results in
node "" not found
error. - Jobs are not labeled as
failure
even when the user code has failed. - Running jobs do not resume when pachd restarts.
put-file --recursive
can fail when there are a large number of files.- minio-based deployments are broken.
pachctl list-job
andpachctl inspect-job
now display the number of times each job has restarted.pachctl list-job
now displays the pipeline of a job even if the job hasn't completed.
- Getting files from GCE results in errors.
- A pipeline that has multiple inputs might place data into the wrong
/pfs
directories. pachctl put-file --split
errors when splitting to a large number of files.- Pipeline names do not allow underscores.
egress
does not work with a pipeline that outputs a large number of files.- Deleting nonexistent files returns errors.
- A job might try to process datums even if the job has been terminated.
- A job doesn't exit after it has encountered a failure.
- Azure backend returns an error if it writes to an object that already exists.
pachctl get-file
now supports the--recursive
flag, which can be used to download directories.pachctl get-logs
now outputs unstructured logs by default. To see structured/annotated logs, use the--raw
flag.
Features/improvements:
- Correct processing of modifications and deletions. In prior versions, Pachyderm pipelines can only process data additions; data that are removed or modified are effectively ignored. In 1.4, when certain input data are removed (or modified), downstream pipelines know to remove (or modify) the output that were produced as a result of processing the said input data.
As a consequence of this change, a user can now fix a pipeline that has processed erroneous data by simply making a new commit that fixes the said erroneous data, as opposed to having to create a new pipeline.
-
Vastly improved performance for metadata operations (e.g. list-file, inspect-file). In prior versions, metadata operations on commits that are N levels deep are O(N) in runtime. In 1.4, metadata operations are always O(1), regardless of the depth of the commit.
-
A new way to specify how input data is partitioned. Instead of using two flags
partition
andincrementality
, we now use a singleglob
pattern. See the glob doc for details. -
Flexible branch management. In prior versions, branches are fixed, in that a commit always stays on the same branch, and a branch always refers to the same series of commits. In 1.4, branches are modeled similar to Git's tags; they can be created, deleted, and renamed independently of commits.
-
Simplified commit states. In prior versions, commits can be in many states including
started
,finished
,cancelled
, andarchived
. In particular,cancelled
andarchived
have confusing semantics that routinely trip up users. In 1.4,cancelled
andarchived
have been removed. -
Flexible pipeline updates. In prior versions, pipeline updates are all-or-nothing. That is, an updated pipeline either processes all commits from scratch, or it processes only new commits. In 1.4, it's possible to have the updated pipeline start processing from any given commit.
-
Reduced cluster resource consumption. In prior versions, each Pachyderm job spawns up a Kubernetes job which in turn spawns up N pods, where N is the user-specified parallelism. In 1.4, all jobs from a pipeline share N pods. As a result, a cluster running 1.4 will likely spawn up way fewer pods and use fewer resources in total.
-
Simplified deployment dependencies. In prior versions, Pachyderm depends on RethinkDB and etcd to function. In 1.4, Pachyderm no longer depends on RethinkDB.
-
Dynamic volume provisioning. GCE and AWS users (Azure support is coming soon) no longer have to manually provision persistent volumes for deploying Pachyderm.
pachctl deploy
is now able to dynamically provision persistent volumes. See the deployment doc for details.
Removed features:
A handful of APIs have been removed because they no longer make sense in 1.4. They include:
- ForkCommit (no longer necessary given the new branch APIs)
- ArchiveCommit (the
archived
commit state has been removed) - ArchiveAll (same as above)
- DeleteCommit (the original implementation of DeleteCommit is very limiting: only open head commits may be removed. An improved version of DeleteCommit is coming soon)
- SquashCommit (was only necessary due to the way PPS worked in prior versions)
- ReplayCommit (same as above)
Features:
- Embedded Applications - Our “service” enhancement allows you to embed applications, like Jupyter, dashboards, etc., within Pachyderm, access versioned data from within the applications, and expose the applications externally.
- Pre-Fetched Input Data - End-to-end performance of typical Pachyderm pipelines will see a many-fold speed up thanks to a prefetch of input data.
- Put Files via Object Store URLs - You can now use “put-file” with s3://, gcs://, and as:// URLS.
- Update your Pipeline code easily - You can now call “create-pipeline” or “update-pipeline” with the “--push-images” flag to re-run your pipeline on the same data with new images.
- Support for all Docker images - It is no longer necessary to include anything Pachyderm specific in your custom Docker images, so use any Docker image you like (with a couple very small caveats discussed below).

- Cluster restarts now work, even if kubernetes is restarted as well
- Support for json and binary delimiters in data chunking
- Manifests now reference specific pachyderm container version making deployment more bulletproof
- Readiness checks for pachd which makes deployment more bulletproof
- Kubernetes jobs are now created in the same namespace pachd is deployed in
- Support for pipeline DAGs that aren't transitive reductions.
- Appending to files now works in jobs, from shell scripts you can do
>>
- Network traffic is reduced with object stores by taking advantage of content addressability

Bug fixes:
- False positive on running pipelines
- Makefile bulletproofing to make sure things are installed when they're needed
- Races within the FUSE driver
- In 1.0 it was possible to get duplicate job ids which, that should be fixed now
- Pipelines could get stuck in the pulling state after being recreated several times
- Map jobs no longer return when sharded unless the files are actually empty
- The fuse driver could encounter a bounds error during execution, no longer
- Pipelines no longer get stuck in restarting state when the cluster is restarted
- Failed jobs were being marked failed too early resulting in a race condition
- Jobs could get stuck in running when they had failed
- Pachd could panic due to membership changes
- Starting a commit with a nonexistent parent now errors instead of silently failing
- Previously pachd nodes would crash when deleting a watched repo
- Jobs now get recreated if you delete and recreate a pipeline
- Getting files from non existent commits gives a nicer error message
- RunPipeline would fail to create a new job if the pipeline had already run
- FUSE no longer chokes if a commit is closed after the mount happened
- GCE/AWS backends have been made a lot more reliable
Tests:
From 1.0.0 to 1.1.0 we've gone from 70 tests to 120, a 71% increase.
1.0.0 is the first generally available release of Pachyderm. It's a complete rewrite of the 0.* series of releases, sharing no code with them. The following major architectural changes have happened since 0.*:
- All network communication and serialization is done using protocol buffers and GRPC.
- BTRFS has been removed, instead build on object storage, s3 and GCS are currently supported.
- Everything in Pachyderm is now scheduled on Kubernetes, this includes Pachyderm services and user jobs.
- We now have several access methods, you can use
pachctl
from the command line, our go client within your own code and the FUSE filesystem layer
