----------------------------------
Summary: Go SDK - Vanity Import Path
Key: BEAM-4115
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-4115
Project: Beam
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: sdk-go
Affects Versions: Not applicable
Reporter: Robert Burke
Assignee: Robert Burke
Proposal Doc: [https://s.apache.org/go-beam-vanity-import]
Go has the ability to specify custom import paths for a prefix of packages.
This has benefits of avoiding generic GitHub paths, and avoids breaking users
in the event of infrastructure events such as moving off of GitHub, or even
splitting the repo into per language components.
Currently users need to import paths like:
import
"[github.com/apache/beam/sdks/go/pkg/beam/io/textio|http://github.com/apache/beam/sdks/go/pkg/beam/io/textio]";
to get at SDK packages. If we implement this proposal, they would look like:
import
"[beam.apache.org/sdks/go/pkg/beam/io/textio|http://beam.apache.org/sdks/go/pkg/beam/io/textio]";
which are a bit shorter, a bit more stable, and a bit nicer, with the benefits
outlined above.
