TFX 1.3.0-rc0

Major Features and Improvements

• TFX CLI now supports runtime parameter on Kubeflow, Vertex, and Airflow.
  Use it with '--runtime_parameter=<parameter_name>=<parameter_value>' flag.
  In the case of multiple runtime parameters, format is as follows:
  '--runtime_parameter=<parameter_name>=<parameter_value> --runtime_parameter
  =<parameter_name>=<parameter_value>'
• Added Manual node in the experimental orchestrator.
• Placeholders support index access and JSON serialization for list type execution properties.
• Added ImportSchemaGen which is a dedicated component to import a
  pre-defined schema file. ImportSchemaGen will replace Importer with
  simpler syntax and less constraints. You have to pass the file path to the
  schema file instead of the parent directory unlike Importer.

Deprecations

• The import name of KerasTuner has been changed from kerastuner
  to keras_tuner. The import name of kerastuner is still supported.
  A warning will occur when import from kerastuner, but does not affect
  the usage.

Bug Fixes and Other Changes

• The default job name for Google Cloud AI Training jobs was changed from
  'tfx_YYYYmmddHHMMSS' to 'tfx_YYYYmmddHHMMSS_xxxxxxxx', where 'xxxxxxxx' is
  a random 8 digit hexadecimal string.
• Fix component to raise error if its input required channel (specified from
  ComponentSpec) has no artifacts in it.
• Fixed an issue where ClientOptions with regional endpoint was
  incorrectly left out in Vertex AI pusher.
• CLI now hides passed flags from user python files in "--pipeline-path". This
  will prevent errors when user python file tries reading and parsing flags.
• Fixed missing type information marker file 'py.typed'.
