Feng Lu commented on AIRFLOW-15:
--------------------------------

[~criccomini] [~barrywhart]  Unfortunately we don't have feature parity between 
the two yet, but it's expected that all GCP services will be supported in 
google-cloud-python. Checked with our internal team, it's recommended that 
google-cloud-python should be used whenever possible. Specifically for Airflow 
GCP connectors, I would propose:
- add google-cloud-python dependency as part of gcp_api.
- new operators shall base on google-cloud-python if possible.
- we (or anyone outside google) can migrate existing GCP operators when the 
underlying GCP service is available in google-cloud-python. 
WDYT? 

Feel free to assign this JIRA issue to me for process tracking.

> After speaking with Google, there was some concern about using the 
> [gcloud-python|https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcloud-python] library 
> for Airflow. There are several concerns:
> # It's not clear (even to people at Google) what this library is, who owns 
> it, etc.
> # It does not support all services (the way 
> [google-api-python-client|https://github.com/google/google-api-python-client] 
> does).
> # There are compatibility issues between google-api-python-client and 
> gcloudpython.
> We currently support both, after libraries depending on which package you you 
> install: {{airfow[gcp_api]}} or {{airflow[gcloud]}}. This ticket is to remove 
> the {{airflow[gcloud]}} packaged, and all associated code.
> The main associated code, afaik, is the use of the {{gcloud}} library in the 
> Google cloud storage hooks/operators--specifically for Google cloud storage 
> Airfow logging.
