Databricks CLI migration

This article describes how to migrate from Databricks CLI version 0.18 or below to Databricks CLI version 0.205 or above. Databricks CLI versions 0.205 and above are in Public Preview.

For brevity, this article refers to Databricks CLI versions 0.18 and below as the “legacy” CLI, and Databricks CLI versions 0.205 and above as the “new” CLI.

For more information about the legacy and new CLIs, see:

Uninstall the legacy CLI​

If you have the legacy CLI installed and you want to uninstall it, use pip (or pip3, depending on your version of Python) to run the uninstall command, as follows:

Bash

pip uninstall databricks-cli
Install the new CLI​

To learn how to install the new CLI, see Install or update the Databricks CLI.

Verify your CLI installation​

If you are not sure whether you are using the new CLI, follow the instructions in this section to verify and adjust as needed. Before you follow these instructions, make sure to exit any Python virtual environments, conda environments, or similar environments.

To check the version of your default installation of the CLI, run the following command:

If the version number is not what you expect, do one of the following:

To update your operating system's PATH, do the following:

  1. List the paths where databricks is installed by running one of the following commands:

    Bash

    which -a databricks


    where databricks
  2. Get the path to the installation that you want to use without prepending the full path to each and every call to the CLI. If you are not sure which path this is, run the full path to each location, followed by -v, for example:

    Bash

    /usr/local/bin/databricks -v
  3. To put the path to the installation that you want to use first in your PATH, run the following command, replacing /usr/local/bin with the path that you want to use. Do not add databricks to the end of this path. For example:

    Bash

    export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
  4. To verify that the PATH was set correctly for the current terminal session, run databricks followed by -v and check the version number:

  5. To have the PATH set this way every time you restart your terminal, add the command from step 3 to your shell initialization file. For example, for Zshell, this file is typically located at ~/.zshrc. For Bash, this file is typically located at ~/.bashrc. For other shells, see your shell provider's documentation.

  6. After you update your shell initialization file, you must restart your terminal to apply the updated PATH value.

  1. Right-click the installation of databricks that you want to use without prepending the full path to each and every call to the CLI.

  2. Click Open file location.

  3. Note the path to databricks, for example C:\Windows.

  4. On the Start menu, search for Environment variables.

  5. Click Edit environment variables for your account.

  6. Select the Path variable in the User variables for <username> section.

  7. Click Edit.

  8. Click New.

  9. Enter the path that you want to add, without databricks.exe (such as C:\Windows).

  10. Use the Move Up button to move the path that you just added to the beginning of the list.

  11. Click OK.

  12. To verify that the PATH was set correctly, open a new Command Prompt, run databricks followed by -v, and check the version number:

Use additional authentication types​

The legacy CLI and the new CLI both support Databricks personal access token authentication. However, Databricks recommends that you use other Databricks authentication types if possible, which only the new CLI supports.

If you must use Databricks personal access token authentication, Databricks recommends that you use one that is associated with a service principal instead of a Databricks account or workspace user. See Service principals.

The new CLI supports OAuth tokens in addition to Databricks personal access tokens. These additional tokens are more secure as they typically expire in one hour, whereas Databricks personal access tokens can be valid from one day up to indefinitely. This is especially important if a token is accidentally checked into version control systems that can be accessed by others. Also, the new CLI can automatically refresh these additional tokens when they expire, whereas refreshing Databricks personal access tokens is either a manual process or can be difficult to automate.

For more information, see Authentication for the Databricks CLI.

Command group and command comparisons​

The following table lists the legacy CLI command groups and their new CLI command group equivalents. Where significant differences exist between CLIs, additional tables list legacy CLI commands or options and their new CLI command or option equivalents.

Command groups​ configure options​ fs commands​

All fs commands in the legacy CLI are the same in the new CLI, except for fs mv which is not available in the new CLI.

groups commands​ pipelines commands​ runs commands​ secrets commands​ tokens commands​ unity-catalog command groups​

unity-catalog <command> in the legacy CLI becomes just <command> in the new CLI.

workspace commands​ Default and positional arguments​

Most of the new CLI commands have at least one default argument that does not have an accompanying option. Some new CLI commands have two or more positional arguments that must be specified in a particular order and that do not have accompanying options. This is different from the legacy CLI, where most commands require options to be specified for all arguments. For example, the new CLI's clusters get command takes a cluster ID as a default argument. However, the legacy CLI's clusers get command requires you to specify a --cluster-id option along with the cluster ID. For example:

For the legacy CLI:

Bash


databricks clusters get --cluster-id 1234-567890-a1b23c4d



databricks clusters get 1234-567890-a1b23c4d

For the new CLI:

Bash


databricks clusters get 1234-567890-a1b23c4d


databricks clusters get --cluster-id 1234-567890-a1b23c4d

As another example, the new CLI's grants get command takes two default arguments: the securable type followed by the securable's full name. However, the legacy CLI's unity-catalog permissions get command requires you to specify a --<securable-type> option along with the securable's full name. For example:

For the legacy CLI:

Bash

databricks unity-catalog permissions get --schema main.default

For the new CLI:

Bash


databricks grants get schema main.default


databricks grants get --schema main.default
Debug mode​

The legacy CLI provides a --debug option to show full stack trace on error. For the new CLI, the --debug option is not recognized. Instead, use the following options:

For the legacy CLI, the following example shows the full stack trace on error:

Bash

databricks fs ls / --debug






For the new CLI, the following example logs the full stack trace to a file named new-cli-errors.log in the current working directory. The stack trace is written to the file in JSON format:

Bash

databricks fs ls / --log-file new-cli-errors.log --log-format json --log-level trace






Common questions​

This section lists common questions about migrating from the legacy to the new CLI.

What is happening to the legacy CLI?​

The legacy CLI is still available but is not receiving any non-critical updates. The legacy CLI documentation reflects this. Databricks recommends that users migrate to the new CLI as soon as possible.

The legacy CLI has always been in an Experimental state with a disclaimer that Databricks plans no new feature work for the legacy CLI, and the legacy CLI is not supported through Databricks support channels.

When will the legacy CLI be deprecated?​

The legacy CLI has always been in an Experimental state with a disclaimer that Databricks plans no new feature work for the legacy CLI, and the legacy CLI is not supported through Databricks support channels.

Databricks has not established a date or timeline for deprecating the legacy CLI. However, Databricks recommends that users migrate to the new CLI as soon as possible.

When will the new CLI be released as generally available (GA)?​

A release date or timeline for releasing the new CLI as GA has not been established. This will depend on feedback that Databricks receives from users during the Public Preview.

What are the key differences between the legacy and new CLIs?​ Does the new CLI have full feature parity with the legacy CLI?​

The new CLI has coverage for almost all of the commands from the legacy CLI. However, notably absent from the new CLI is the stacks command group in the legacy CLI. Also, a few legacy CLI command groups such as unity-catalog and runs have been refactored into new command groups in the new CLI. For migration guidance, see the information provided earlier in this article.

How do I migrate from the legacy to the new CLI?​

For migration guidance, see the information provided earlier in this article. Note that the new CLI is not a drop-in replacement for the legacy CLI and requires some setup to move from the legacy to the new CLI.

Can installations of the legacy and new CLIs exist on the same machine?​

Yes. Installations of the legacy and new CLIs can exist on the same machine, but they must be located in different directories. Because the executables are both named databricks, you must control which executable is run by default by configuring your machine's PATH. If you want to run the new CLI but somehow accidentally run the legacy CLI instead, by default the legacy CLI will run the new CLI with the same arguments and show the following warning message:

Databricks CLI <new-version-number> found at <new-path>
Your current PATH prefers running CLI <old-version-number> at <old-path>

Because both are installed and available in PATH,
I assume you are trying to run the newer version.

If you want to disable this behavior you can set DATABRICKS_CLI_DO_NOT_EXECUTE_NEWER_VERSION=1.

Executing CLI <new-version-number>...
-------------------------------------
Databricks CLI <new-version-number>

As shown in the preceding warning message, you can set the DATABRICKS_CLI_DO_NOT_EXECUTE_NEWER_VERSION environment variable to 1 to disable this behavior and run the legacy CLI instead.
