Ray 1.5.0 Release Note

Highlight

Ray Autoscaler

🎉 New Features:

💫 Enhancements:

  • [Kubernetes] Operator refactored to use Kopf package (#15787)
  • Flag to control config bootstrap for rsync (#16667)
  • Prometheus metrics for Autoscaler (#16066, #16198)
  • Allows launching in subnets where public IP assignments off by default (#16816)

🔨 Fixes:

  • [Kubernetes] Fix GPU=0 resource handling (#16887)
  • [Kubernetes] Release docs updated with K8s test instructions (#16662)
  • [Kubernetes] Documentation update (#16570)
  • [Kubernetes] All official images set to rayproject/ray:latest (#15988 #16205)

  • Made Client Object & Actor refs a subclass of their non-client counterparts (#16110)

🔨 Fixes:

Ray Core

🎉 New Features:

  • Ray dataset alpha is available!

🔨 Fixes:

🏗 Architecture refactoring:

  • From Ray 1.5.0, liveness of Ray jobs are guaranteed as long as there’s enough disk space in machines with the “fallback allocator” mechanism which allocates plasma objects to the disk directly when objects cannot be created in memory or spilled to the disk.

RLlib

🎉 New Features:

  • Support for adding/deleting Policies to a Trainer on-the-fly (#16359, #16569, #16927).
  • Added new “input API” for customizing offline datasets (shoutout to Julius F.). (#16957)
  • Allow for external env PolicyServer to listen on n different ports (given n rollout workers); No longer require creating an env on the server side to get env’s spaces. (#16583).

🔨 Fixes:

📖 Documentation and testing:

🏗 Architecture refactoring:

  • All RLlib algos operating on Box action spaces now operate on normalized actions by default (ranging from -1.0 to 1.0). This enables PG-style algos to learn in skewed action spaces. (#16531)

Tune

Please see the migration guide for details on how to update your existing Serve application to use this new API.

  • The Optuna integration was updated to support the 2.4.0 API while maintaining backwards compatibility (#13631)
  • All search algorithms now support points_to_evaluate (#12790, #12916)
  • PBT Transformers example was updated and improved (#13174, #13131)

  • Various bug fixes (#13423, #12785, #13171, #12877, #13255, #13355)

SGD

🔨Fixes and Updates

  • Fix Docstring for as_trainable (#13173)
  • Fix process group timeout units (#12477)
  • Disable Elastic Training by default when using with Tune (#12927)

Serve

🎉 New Features:

  • Ray Serve backends now accept a Starlette request object instead of a Flask request object (#12852). This is a breaking change, so please read the migration guide.
  • Ray Serve backends now have the option of returning a Starlette Response object (#12811, #13328). This allows for more customizable responses, including responses with custom status codes.
  • [Experimental] The new Ray Serve MLflow plugin makes it easy to deploy your MLflow models on Ray Serve. It comes with a Python API and a command-line interface.
  • Using “ImportedBackend” you can now specify a backend based on a class that is installed in the Python environment that the workers will run in, even if the Python environment of the driver script (the one making the Serve API calls) doesn’t have it installed (#12923).

💫 Enhancements:

  • Dependency management using conda no longer requires the driver script to be running in an activated conda environment (#13269).
  • Ray ObjectRef can now be used as argument to serve_handle.remote(...). (#12592)
  • Backends are now shut down gracefully. You can set the graceful timeout in BackendConfig. (#13028)

📖 Documentation:

  • A tutorial page has been added for integrating Ray Serve with your existing FastAPI web server or with your existing AIOHTTP web server (#13127).
  • Documentation has been added for Ray Serve metrics (#13096).

🔨Fixes:

  • Set serve.start(http_host=None) to disable HTTP servers. If you are only using ServeHandle, this option lowers resource usage. (#11627)
  • Flask requests will no longer create reference cycles. This means peak memory usage should be lower for high traffic scenarios. (#12560)

🏗 Architecture refactoring:

Ray Cluster Launcher (Autoscaler)

🎉 New Features:

Dashboard

🔨 Fixes:

  • Fixed bug that prevented viewing the logs for cluster workers
  • Fixed bug that caused "Logical View" page to crash when opening a list of actors for a given class.

🏗 Architecture refactoring:
