Upgrade external Dependencies like Plottable

Context

TensorBoard today (as of 1.10a) is using Plottable 3.1.0 when the latest is at 3.8.3. It brings in few performance optimizations like less measure/mutate operations on mousemove. Specifically, when moving cursor across page on non-chart elements, the Plottable via MouseInteractions spends about ~5ms per frame doing JS+renderer work (remember, we have 16.666ms per frame) that has zero impact on UI.

Action Items

  • it breaks tooltip: doesn't scan when moving the mouse across a chart
  • has hard dependency on Lodash 4.17.10 and the bundle pulls in both versions of lodash: it causes few components to break as 3.x and 4.x have non-trivial API changes. i.e., _.pairs -> _.toPairs. Alternatively, we can use Object.entries but it seems to require a change in TS config.
• Lodash 4.x
  • ??
