How to see progress of Dask compute task?

Question

I would like to see a progress bar on Jupyter notebook while I'm running a compute task using Dask, I'm counting all values of id column from a large csv file +4GB, so any ideas?

import dask.dataframe as dd

df = dd.read_csv('data/train.csv')
df.id.count().compute()

If you're using the single machine scheduler then do this:

from dask.diagnostics import ProgressBar
ProgressBar().register()

If you're using the distributed scheduler then do this:

from dask.distributed import progress

result = df.id.count.persist()
progress(result)

Or just use the dashboard
