Hi everyone,
We have been prototyping a Go SDK for Beam for some time and have reached a
point, where we think this effort might be of interest to the wider Beam
community and would benefit from being developed in a proper feature branch. We
have prepared a PR to that end:
https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/4200
Please note that the prototype supports batch only, for now, and includes
various examples that run on the Go direct runner. Go would be the first SDK
targeting the portability framework exclusively and our plan is to extend and
benefit from that ecosystem.
We have also prepared an RFC document with the initial design, motivations and
tradeoffs made:
https://s.apache.org/beam-go-sdk-design-rfc
<https://s.apache.org/beam-go-sdk-design-rfc>
The challenge is that Go is quite a tricky language for Beam due to various
limitations, notably strong typing w/o generics, and so the approaches taken by
Java and Python do not readily apply.
Of course, neither the prototype nor the design are in any way final -- there
are many open questions and we absolutely welcome ideas and contributions.
Please let us know if you have any comments or objections (or would like to help!).
Thanks,
Henning Rohde, Bill Neubauer, and Robert Burke
