## What it is and what it does

azureml-dataset-runtime is an internal coordination package within the Azure Machine Learning SDK for Python. Its sole purpose is to manage and align dependencies used by other AzureML components that handle dataset operations. It is not designed for direct user installation or consumption.

The package depends on azureml-dataprep, pyarrow, and numpy to provide the underlying data handling capabilities that the broader AzureML ecosystem relies on. Because it is explicitly marked as internal, installing it directly is not recommended—it should only be pulled in as a transitive dependency when you install other AzureML packages that require it.

Use it for:

- Automatically installed as a transitive dependency when using other Azure ML SDK packages for dataset handling.
- Ensuring consistent versions of pyarrow and numpy across AzureML dataset operations within an organization.
- Supporting Azure ML pipelines that process datasets without needing to manage dataset runtime dependencies separately.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Coordinates internal Azure Machine Learning SDK dependencies for dataset operations; not intended for direct use.

No—do not install this package directly. It is explicitly marked as internal to the Azure ML SDK and exists only to coordinate dependencies for other AzureML components. Install it only if another AzureML package requires it as a transitive dependency. Direct installation offers no value and may conflict with how the broader SDK expects it to be managed.

## Install

pip install azureml-dataset-runtime
uv add azureml-dataset-runtime
poetry add azureml-dataset-runtime

## Installing azureml-dataset-runtime

Before you install: Active maintenance with a recent release (14 days ago). Low install friction with only three runtime dependencies: azureml-dataprep, pyarrow, and numpy.

License in practice: License treatment is unclear—the raw license URL points to a Microsoft legal page but no SPDX identifier is available, making it difficult to assess compatibility with your project's license requirements without manual review.

Quickstart:

pip install azureml-dataset-runtime

import azureml_dataset_runtime
# This package is internal; direct usage is not recommended.

This package is explicitly internal to the Azure ML SDK and not intended for direct use—it exists to coordinate dependencies within the broader AzureML ecosystem.

Verify before relying:

- Whether direct installation outside the AzureML SDK ecosystem is supported or recommended.
- Exact Python version compatibility (requires_python is unspecified in metadata).
- What the Microsoft license URL (https://aka.ms/azureml-sdk-license) permits in terms of redistribution and modification.
