Migrate legacy line charts

  • 아티클

Learn about line charts in Azure Databricks and how to migrate from the legacy Line charts. Azure Databricks has three types of line charts: Line and legacy charts Line (v2) and Line (v1).

Comparison: Line chart types with time-series data

Line has custom plot options: setting a Y-axis range, showing or hiding markers, and applying log scale to the Y-axis and a built-in toolbar that supports a rich set of client-side interactions.

In addition, Line, Line (v2), and Line (v1) charts treat time-series data in different ways:

Line and Line (v2) Line (v1)
Date and timestamp are supported.

Line (v2) formats a date to local time.		 Date and timestamp are treated as text.
Key can only be date, timestamp, or number. Key can be of any type.
X-axis is ordered:

* Natural, linear ordering of date, timestamp, and number.
* Gaps in time appear as gaps on the chart.		 X-axis is categorical:

* Not ordered unless the data is ordered.
* Gaps in time do not appear on the chart.

Notebook example: Migrate to Line from legacy line charts

The notebook in this example converts the date as string into timestamp (including time zone) using unix_timestamp.

To migrate to Line from Line (v1) or Line (v2):

  1. Click Button Down next to the bar chart Chart Button and select Line.

  2. For a Line (v1) chart, if the key column is not a date, timestamp, or number, you must parse the column to a date, timestamp, or number explicitly as demonstrated in the following notebook.
