Azure-docs: How to migrate the scoring file (or perhaps 'how to set up the scoring file')

[ArvidBaa]

In this migration guide it says that I do not need to change anything in my scoring files when migrating. However, I can not find any information on wether the scoring files will still need to generate a schema.json, or if that part is deprecated. In none of the example files in the documentation that I have seen so far is there any reference to a schema.json file. And, when I try to run my old scoring file, I get an error saying

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "script_folder/score.py", line 106, in <module>
    main()
  File "script_folder/score_product_embeddings.py", line 84, in main
    from azureml.api.schema.dataTypes import DataTypes
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'azureml.api'

The line that causes the error is a part of the schema generation and is identical to the line in the tutorial Classifying Iris from the workbench era find the file here.

If the schema generation is not still a part of the process, then I think it would be wise to add a section about that part here. If, however, it is still a part of the process, then I think it would be wise to add a section to the documentation on how to set up the scoring file (for example in this part of the tutorial.

I remember thinking that the old documentation on how to set up the scoring file was a little scarce. Perhaps it would be wise to extend the documentation slightly for the new tutorial.

@hning86 Hi Hai, can you please take a look of this suggestion about score file and also update the document as necessary? Thanks a lot!

[hning86]

schema is optional (has always been). so you can skip that part altogether. it will be helpful to go through this example of the new SDK to understand how score.py is now much simpler.
