Luke Cwik commented on BEAM-2026:
---------------------------------
Some runners have local execution modes like Flink and Spark, would this not be
satisfactory? If not, why not?
> High performance direct runner

> Key: BEAM-2026
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-2026
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: runner-direct
> Reporter: Mitar
> Assignee: Thomas Groh
>
> In documentation (https://beam.apache.org/documentation/runners/direct/) it
> is written that direct runner does not try to run efficiently, but it serves
> mostly for development and debugging.
> I would suggest that there should be also an efficient direct runner. If Beam
> tries to be an unified programming model, for some smaller tasks I would love
> to implement them in Beam, just to keep the code in the same model, but it
> would be OK to run it as a normal smaller program (maybe inside one Docker
> container), without any distribution across multiple machines. In the future,
> if usage grows, I could then replace underlying runner with something
> distributed.
