Starting with the release of 2.26.0, the Java 8 SDK container image <https://beam.apache.org/documentation/runtime/environments/> (currently apache/beam_java_sdk <https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/beam_java_sdk)>) will be released under a new name, *apache/beam_java8_sdk.* This is in anticipation of future plans to release a Java 11 image[1]
This will apply to: - officially released image starting with v2.26.0 - *immediately for development images* built from master (post PR #12505 <https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/12505>) - i.e. if you are using a script/command with an argument that includes beam_java_sdk, use beam_java8_sdk.
