Hey guys, I find Beam examples under the examples folder are not easy to run due to dependency on Google specific services. Even the MinimalWordCount <https://github.com/apache/incubator-beam/blob/master/examples/java/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/examples/MinimalWordCount.java> requires input and output to be on Google Cloud Storage. Others like WindowedWordCount <https://github.com/apache/incubator-beam/blob/master/examples/java/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/examples/WindowedWordCount.java> require BigQuery. I wouldn't expect newcomers to tweak IO themselves.
Can we have more quick start examples that can be run anywhere ? Thanks, Manu Zhang
