TFX 1.0.0-rc1

Major Features and Improvements

• Added tfx.v1 Public APIs, please refer to
  API doc for details.
• Transform component now computes pre-transform and post-transform statistics
  and stores them in new, indvidual outputs ('pre_transform_schema',
  'pre_transform_stats', 'post_transform_schema', 'post_transform_stats',
  'post_transform_anomalies'). This can be disabled by setting
  disable_statistics=True in the Transform component.
• BERT cola and mrpc examples now demonstrate how to calculate statistics for
  NLP features.

Breaking Changes

For Pipeline Authors

• N/A

For Component Authors

• Apache Beam support is migrated from TFX Base Components and Executors to
  dedicated Beam Components and Executors. BaseExecutor will no longer embed
  beam_pipeline_args. Custom executors for Beam powered components should
  now extend BaseBeamExecutor instead of BaseExecutor.

Bug Fixes and Other Changes

• TFX CLI now supports
  Vertex Pipelines.
  use it with --engine=vertex flag.
• Forces keyword arguments for AirflowComponent to make it compatible with
