Pipeline Version and Wheel Package Version
This section helps you understand wheel packages, their versions, and how they are related to pipeline versions.
What is a wheel package?
A wheel package is a packaged Python library that contains reusable code required to run a pipeline. It is distributed as a .whl file and can include Python modules, functions, and their associated dependencies.
What is the effect of switching pipeline versions on wheel package versions?
Wheel packages are required to run jobs. When you create a data pipeline using Databricks or Snowpark switching to a different version of the data pipeline might also change the wheel package version. Click View Details to understand the impact of switching the pipeline version on wheel package version.
