Legacy Databricks CLI

Legacy Databricks CLI is legacy, replaced by Databricks CLI (v0.205+) (legacy since 2023).

Legacy Databricks CLI → Databricks CLI (v0.205+)

The original Python-based command-line interface (versions 0.18 and below).

• It was a Python package (versions 0.18 and below) that carried an official 'Experimental' label for its entire life and never graduated out of it. 🔗
• Databricks says it 'has not established a date or timeline for deprecating the legacy CLI' - it is simply unsupported and frozen. 🔗
• Its final release, 0.18.0, shipped with a blunt one-line warning at the top of the notes: 'Beware: this package is being deprecated.' 🔗
