"Something is wrong with the numpy installation. While importing we detected an older version of numpy"
I was doing the lab below and experienced the issue today.

the problem seems to be related to azureml-sdk[databricks] because if I uninstall it some part of code can still run.
after spending quite some time scratching my hair, I looked up the azureml-sdk release page and found out that a new version 1.0.21 released just today (26 March 2019), I uninstall the default version and installed the prior version by using the format
azureml-sdk[databricks]==1.0.18.1
alternatively if you choose runtime version 5.2 when creating the cluster then the problem doesn't occur.
