A few people from the Beam community have been steadily making effort on realizing the portability goal (all SDKs on all Runners).
Last week on an experimental branch we were able to get Apache Flink to run a Go pipeline and also a Python pipeline using those respective SDKs. The pipelines were limited to running ParDo and GBK (no combiners, no state, no timers, no ...). To continue this effort, I have started this video conference[1] and document[2] specifically with the intention for people to join and help hack on the portability effort in a tighter development cycle (note time differences may mean nobody is on the call, if that is the case feel free to use the slack channel[3]). Questions/discussions of note will be brought back to the dev@ list to circulate information with a wider audience. Note that this meet up is ONLY about getting all SDKs to work on all Runners. 1: https://s.apache.org/beam-portability-team-meet 2: https://s.apache.org/beam-portability-team-doc 3: https://the-asf.slack.com/messages/C9W769ZJ7/
