This is awesome, thanks Sindy! I hope that the questions related to portability will get resolved in a way that will allow to reuse some of the work for other interactive Beam experiences, including SQL as Andrew says, and providing a REPL e.g. for users of Scala or other JVM-based languages.
+Neville Li <nevi...@spotify.com> Do I remember correctly that you guys had some sort of interactivity going in Scio but were looking forward to Beam developing a native solution?
