Daniel Halperin commented on BEAM-2026:
---------------------------------------

[~mitar] I think this is a completely reasonable use case. I also think that 
the Python {{DirectRunner}} has a variety of command-line flags via pipeline 
options that make it faster by turning off various enforcements.

Try it out and let us know how it goes? Which flags are most useful?

> 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.
