charlespnh opened a new issue, #35768: URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/35768
### What would you like to happen? The underlying `tensorflow-transform` library that MLTransform uses for TFT transforms (https://beam.apache.org/documentation/ml/preprocess-data/#data-processing-transforms-that-use-tft) cannot be installed on Apple Silicon https://github.com/tensorflow/transform/issues/298. Currently installing this library is required before being able to use MLTransform https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/sdks/python/apache_beam/yaml/yaml_ml.py#L50-L69. Users who want to run their pipeline locally that makes use of MLTransform will not be able to do so on their Apple Silicon machine, regardless if they use TFT or not. This hinders those who want to simply try out the text embedding transforms with MLTransform. ### Issue Priority Priority: 2 (default / most feature requests should be filed as P2) ### Issue Components - [ ] Component: Python SDK - [ ] Component: Java SDK - [ ] Component: Go SDK - [ ] Component: Typescript SDK - [ ] Component: IO connector - [x] 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.
