AutoML Deprecation?

[kevin11]

Hi All,

It looks like AutoML is set to be deprecated with the next major version (although the note isn't specific on if that's 18). I haven't seen any announcement or alert about this impending change. Did I just miss it? I know we have teams using this and running processes with it in production that will be impacted. 

Any details out there I can reference with teams?

Thanks

Hi @kevin11 ,

I guess it's their standard way of library deprecation policy. In their docs they mentioned that when a library is planned for removal, Databricks takes following steps to notify customers:

So they've added those note to AutoMl docs:

And you should also get a warning when importing the library - at least in theory - because sometimes things mentioned in docs don't reflect reality 🙂
