### What would you like to happen? We're having issues upgrading to redis v6, as we've just noticed that this is a dependency of apache beam. On further inspection, there seem to be a bunch of dependencies linked to some prewritten DoFns (?) that won't be applicable to all usecases. Such as: - numpy - redis - pymongo Maybe others too that i dont understand the uses of. We'd like to install as few packages as possible, and also have the ability to manage the versions of these (such as redis) ourselves. Is it possible to put these behind a feature flag? such as ```pip install apache_beam[redis, pymongo, numpy]``` as an example ### Issue Priority Priority: 3 (nice-to-have improvement) ### Issue Components - [x] Component: Python SDK - [ ] Component: Java SDK - [ ] Component: Go SDK - [ ] Component: Typescript SDK - [ ] Component: IO connector - [ ] Component: Beam YAML - [ ] Component: Beam examples - [ ] Component: Beam playground - [ ] Component: Beam katas - [ ] Component: Website - [ ] Component: Infrastructure - [ ] Component: Spark Runner - [ ] Component: Flink Runner - [ ] Component: Samza Runner - [ ] Component: Twister2 Runner - [ ] Component: Hazelcast Jet Runner - [ ] Component: Google Cloud Dataflow Runner -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
