Changes

Added

  • Added Iceberg table support, including Azure Data Lake Storage locations, by preinstalling pyiceberg with its adlfs integration in CPU and GPU images.
  • CPU and GPU images add a gated direct-Arrow display path for small pandas DataFrames. When enabled after coordinated frontend rollout, eligible frames can skip temporary-table and query-ID materialization. Larger frames and Snowpark DataFrames retain the existing path.

Changed

  • Upgraded snowflake-ml-python from 1.54.0 to 2.5.0.
  • Updated polars from 1.44.2 to 2.0.0.

Fixed

  • Snowflake ML log and Prometheus directories are now created even when distributed ML Runtime startup is disabled, preventing missing-path logging failures.
  • ML Jobs now ignore service-instance rows that have not yet been assigned an instance ID when resolving cluster topology.

Notable package additions and removals

  • Added pyiceberg 0.12.0 and adlfs 2026.8.0, plus the Azure identity and Blob Storage dependencies needed for Azure Iceberg table locations.
  • Upgraded polars from 1.44.2 to 2.0.0.
  • No notable top-level packages were removed.
