+With this release, the Go SDK now uses [Go Modules](https://golang.org/ref/mod) for dependency management. +This makes it so users, SDK Devs, and the testing infrastructure can all rely on the same versions of dependencies, making builds reproducible. +This also makes [validating Go SDK Release Candidates simple](/blog/validate-beam-release/#configuring-a-go-build-to-validate-a-beam-release-candidate). + +Versioned SDK worker containers are now built and [published](https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/beam_go_sdk/tags?page=1&ordering=last_updated), with the SDK using matched tagged versions. +For released versions, user jobs no longer need to specify a container to use, except when using custom containers. + +## Compatibility + +The Go SDK will largely follow suit with the Go notion of compatibility. +Some concessions are made to keep all SDKs together on the same release cycle. + +### Language Compatibility + +The SDK will be tested at a minimum [Go Programming Language version of 1.16](https://golang.org/doc/devel/release), and use available language features and standard library packages accordingly. +To maintain a broad compatibility, the Go SDK will not require the latest major version of Go. +We expect to follow the 2nd newest supported release of the language, with a possible exception when Go 1.18 is released, in order to begin experimenting with [Go Generics](https://go.dev/blog/generics-proposal) in the SDK. +Release notes will call out when the minimum version of the language changes. + +### Package Compatibility + +The primary user packages will avoid changing in backwards incompatible ways for core features. +This is to be inline with Go's notion of the [`import compatibility rule`](https://research.swtch.com/vgo-import). + +> If an old package and a new package have the same import path, +> the new package must be backwards compatible with the old package. + +Exceptions to this policy are around newer, experimental, or in development features. +These are subject to change. +Such features will have a doc comment noting the experimental status, or be mentioned the change notes for a release. +For example, using `beam.WindowInto` with Triggers is currently experimental and may have the api changed in a future release. + +Primary user packages include: +* The main beam package `github.com/apache/beam/sdks/v2/go/pkg/beam` +* Sub packages under `.../transforms`, `.../io`, `.../runners`, and `.../testing`. + +Generally, packages in the module other than the primary user packages are for framework use. +They are at risk of changing, though at this point, large breaking changes are unlikely. + +### Known Issues + +#### Batteries not included. +* Current native transforms are undertested. +* IOs may not be written to scale. +* Go Direct Runner is incomplete and is not portable, prefer using the Python Portable runner, or Flink. + * Doesn't support side input windowing. [BEAM-13075](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-13075) + * Doesn't serialize data, making it unlikely to catch coder issues [BEAM-6372](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-6372) + * Can use other general improvements, and become portable [BEAM-11076](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-11076) +* Current Trigger API is under iteration and subject to change [BEAM-3304](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-3304). + * API has a possible breaking change between 2.33.0 and 2.34.0, and may change again. +* Support of the SDK on services, like Google Cloud Dataflow, remains at the service owner's discretion. +* Need something? + * File a ticket in the [Beam JIRA](https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20BEAM%20AND%20component%20%3D%20sdk-go) and, + * Email the [email protected] list!

+Upcoming features support roadmap, and known issues are discussed below. +In particular, we plan to support a much richer set of IO connectors via Beam's cross-language capabilities. + +## Releases + +With this release, the Go SDK now uses [Go Modules](https://golang.org/ref/mod) for dependency management. +This makes it so users, SDK Devs, and the testing infrastructure can all rely on the same versions of dependencies, making builds reproducible. +This also makes [validating Go SDK Release Candidates simple](/blog/validate-beam-release/#configuring-a-go-build-to-validate-a-beam-release-candidate). + +Versioned SDK worker containers are now built and [published](https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/beam_go_sdk/tags?page=1&ordering=last_updated), with the SDK using matched tagged versions. +For released versions, user jobs no longer need to specify a container to use, except when using custom containers. + +## Compatibility + +The Go SDK will largely follow suit with the Go notion of compatibility. +Some concessions are made to keep all SDKs together on the same release cycle. + +### Language Compatibility + +The SDK will be tested at a minimum [Go Programming Language version of 1.16](https://golang.org/doc/devel/release), and use available language features and standard library packages accordingly. +To maintain a broad compatibility, the Go SDK will not require the latest major version of Go. +We expect to follow the 2nd newest supported release of the language, with a possible exception when Go 1.18 is released, in order to begin experimenting with [Go Generics](https://go.dev/blog/generics-proposal) in the SDK. +Release notes will call out when the minimum version of the language changes. + +### Package Compatibility + +The primary user packages will avoid changing in backwards incompatible ways for core features. +This is to be inline with Go's notion of the [`import compatibility rule`](https://research.swtch.com/vgo-import). + +> If an old package and a new package have the same import path, +> the new package must be backwards compatible with the old package. + +Exceptions to this policy are around newer, experimental, or in development features. +These are subject to change. +Such features will have a doc comment noting the experimental status, or be mentioned the change notes for a release. +For example, using `beam.WindowInto` with Triggers is currently experimental and may have the api changed in a future release. + +Primary user packages include: +* The main beam package `github.com/apache/beam/sdks/v2/go/pkg/beam` +* Sub packages under `.../transforms`, `.../io`, `.../runners`, and `.../testing`. + +Generally, packages in the module other than the primary user packages are for framework use. +They are at risk of changing, though at this point, large breaking changes are unlikely. + +### Known Issues + +#### Batteries not included. +* Current native transforms are undertested. +* IOs may not be written to scale. +* Go Direct Runner is incomplete and is not portable, prefer using the Python Portable runner, or Flink. + * Doesn't support side input windowing. [BEAM-13075](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-13075) + * Doesn't serialize data, making it unlikely to catch coder issues [BEAM-6372](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-6372) + * Can use other general improvements, and become portable [BEAM-11076](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-11076) +* Current Trigger API is under iteration and subject to change [BEAM-3304](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-3304). + * API has a possible breaking change between 2.33.0 and 2.34.0, and may change again. +* Support of the SDK on services, like Google Cloud Dataflow, remains at the service owner's discretion. +* Need something? + * File a ticket in the [Beam JIRA](https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20BEAM%20AND%20component%20%3D%20sdk-go) and, + * Email the [email protected] list! + +#### Fixed in 2.34.0 + * `top.SmallestPerKey` was broken [BEAM-12946](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-12946) + * `beam.TryCrossLanguage` API didn't match non-Try version [BEAM-9918](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-9918) + * This is a breaking change if one was calling `beam.TryCrossLanguage` + +#### Fixed in 2.35.0 + * Non-Global Window Side Inputs don't match (correctness bug) [BEAM-11087](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-11087) + * Until 2.35.0 it's not recommended to use SideInputs that are not using the Global Window. + * Side Inputs using DoFns accumulate memory over bundles, causing OOMs [BEAM-13130](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-13130) + +## Roadmap + +The [SDK roadmap](/roadmap/go-sdk/) has been updated. +Ongoing focus is to bolster more streaming focused features, and improve existing connectors, and make connectors easier to implement. + +In the nearer term this comes in the form of improvements to Side Inputs, and providing wrappers and improving ease-of-use for Cross Language Transforms from Java. + +## Conclusion + +We hope you find the SDK useful, and it's still early days. +If you make something using it, consider [sharing it with us](/community/contact-us/).

As the first purely portable Beam SDK, the Go SDK is constrained -by the status of the [Beam Portability Framework](https://beam.apache.org/roadmap/portability/) and the existence of -portable runners. +The Go SDK is [fully released as of v2.33.0](/blog/go-sdk-release/). -**April 2020 Update** -This year we hope to move the SDK out of experimental at least for Batch usage. +The Go SDK the first SDK purely on the [Beam Portability Framework](/roadmap/portability/) +and can execute pipelines on portable runners, like Flink, Spark, Samza, and Google Cloud Dataflow. -To do so, there are a few blocking changes: - * Support Interoperability with other SDKs - * Scalable IOs - * Portability Proto stability - * Go Ecosystem integration improvements - -Interoperability while not a blocking feature in itself, requires Beam Schema support, which -the SDK could then use as it's default coder. Batch Splittable DoFns are nearly ready for -playing with on Flink, and the Python Direct Runner, answering the scalable batch IO question. -There's much work getting the portability protos to a stable baseline. This will allow runner -and SDK independance, so they don't need to be updated in lockstep. Finally, the Go SDK should -adopt Go Modules as it's versioning solution, and officially "catch up" with the current beam -version. - -The Go SDK has the following goals for the next few months: - -## Usability - -* Beam Schema Support [BEAM-9615](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-9615) -* Improvements to starcgen [BEAM-9616](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-9616) - -## Integrating with the Go ecosystem - -The authors of the Go SDK intended to keep the parts of the language we love, and intend for -user pipelines to be as close to ordinary Go as possible, minimizing framework boiler plate code. - -* Migrate to a vanity URL path [BEAM-4115](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-4115) -* Package versioning support [BEAM-5379](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-5379) - -## Implement Portability features - -The following are dependant on the features being implemented in the Portability Framework. - -* Splitable DoFns (SDFs) for Scalable IO [BEAM-3301](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-3301) - * This is the primary blocker for the Go SDK to scale to ingest large numbers of elements in both batch and streaming. -* Triggers and Timers [BEAM-3304](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-3304) -* Advanced WindowFns - * Session windows [BEAM-4152](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-4152) - * Custom WindowFns (dependant on streaming Splitable DoFn support) [BEAM-2939](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-2939) - -Without SDFs, IOs are always constrained to work on a single machine prior to a sharding operation (like CoGroupByKey), -which makes scalable IOs difficult to impossible to write. +Current roadmap: +* continue building up Streaming facing features, as described on the [Beam Dev Wiki](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/BEAM/Supporting+Streaming+in+the+Go+SDK). +* improve Connector support via Cross Language transforms, and improving scalable native transforms.

1.16](https://golang.org/doc/devel/release), and use available language features and standard library packages accordingly. +To maintain a broad compatibility, the Go SDK will not require the latest major version of Go. +We expect to follow the 2nd newest supported release of the language, with a possible exception when Go 1.18 is released, in order to begin experimenting with [Go Generics](https://go.dev/blog/generics-proposal) in the SDK. +Release notes will call out when the minimum version of the language changes. + +### Package Compatibility + +The primary user packages will avoid changing in backwards incompatible ways for core features. +This is to be inline with Go's notion of the [`import compatibility rule`](https://research.swtch.com/vgo-import). + +> If an old package and a new package have the same import path, +> the new package must be backwards compatible with the old package. + +Exceptions to this policy are around newer, experimental, or in development features and are subject to change. +Such features will have a doc comment noting the experimental status. +Major changes will be mentioned in the release notes. +For example, using `beam.WindowInto` with Triggers is currently experimental and may have the API changed in a future release. + +Primary user packages include: +* The main beam package `github.com/apache/beam/sdks/v2/go/pkg/beam` +* Sub packages under `.../transforms`, `.../io`, `.../runners`, and `.../testing`. + +Generally, packages in the module other than the primary user packages are for framework use and are at risk of changing. + +### Known Issues + +#### Batteries not included. +* Current native transforms are undertested. +* IOs may not be written to scale. +* Go Direct Runner is incomplete and is not portable, prefer using the Python Portable runner, or Flink. + * Doesn't support side input windowing.

features. +This is to be inline with Go's notion of the [`import compatibility rule`](https://research.swtch.com/vgo-import). + +> If an old package and a new package have the same import path, +> the new package must be backwards compatible with the old package. + +Exceptions to this policy are around newer, experimental, or in development features and are subject to change. +Such features will have a doc comment noting the experimental status. +Major changes will be mentioned in the release notes. +For example, using `beam.WindowInto` with Triggers is currently experimental and may have the API changed in a future release. + +Primary user packages include: +* The main beam package `github.com/apache/beam/sdks/v2/go/pkg/beam` +* Sub packages under `.../transforms`, `.../io`, `.../runners`, and `.../testing`. + +Generally, packages in the module other than the primary user packages are for framework use and are at risk of changing. + +### Known Issues + +#### Batteries not included. +* Current native transforms are undertested. +* IOs may not be written to scale. +* Go Direct Runner is incomplete and is not portable, prefer using the Python Portable runner, or Flink. + * Doesn't support side input windowing.

use other general improvements, and become portable [BEAM-11076](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-11076) +* Current Trigger API is under iteration and subject to change [BEAM-3304](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-3304). + * API has a possible breaking change between 2.33.0 and 2.34.0, and may change again. +* Support of the SDK on services, like Google

+Upcoming features support roadmap, and known issues are discussed below. +In particular, we plan to support a much richer set of IO connectors via Beam's cross-language capabilities. + +## Releases + +With this release, the Go SDK now uses [Go Modules](https://golang.org/ref/mod) for dependency management. +This makes it so users, SDK authors, and the testing infrastructure can all rely on the same versions of dependencies, making builds reproducible. +This also makes [validating Go SDK Release Candidates simple](/blog/validate-beam-release/#configuring-a-go-build-to-validate-a-beam-release-candidate). + +Versioned SDK worker containers are now built and [published](https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/beam_go_sdk/tags?page=1&ordering=last_updated), with the SDK using matched tagged versions. +User jobs no longer need to specify a container to use for released versions, except when using custom containers. + +## Compatibility + +The Go SDK will largely follow suit with the Go notion of compatibility. +Some concessions are made to keep all SDKs together on the same release cycle. + +### Language Compatibility + +The SDK will be tested at a minimum [Go Programming Language version of 1.16](https://golang.org/doc/devel/release), and use available language features and standard library packages accordingly. +To maintain a broad compatibility, the Go SDK will not require the latest major version of Go. +We expect to follow the 2nd newest supported release of the language, with a possible exception when Go 1.18 is released, in order to begin experimenting with [Go Generics](https://go.dev/blog/generics-proposal) in the SDK. +Release notes will call out when the minimum version of the language changes. + +### Package Compatibility + +The primary user packages will avoid changing in backwards incompatible ways for core

As the first purely portable Beam SDK, the Go SDK is constrained -by the status of the [Beam Portability Framework](https://beam.apache.org/roadmap/portability/) and the existence of -portable runners. +The Go SDK is [fully released as of v2.33.0](/blog/go-sdk-release/). -**April 2020 Update** -This year we hope to move the SDK out of experimental at least for Batch usage. +The Go SDK the first SDK purely on the [Beam Portability Framework](/roadmap/portability/) +and can execute pipelines on portable runners, like Flink, Spark, Samza, and Google Cloud Dataflow. -To do so, there are a few blocking changes: - * Support Interoperability with other SDKs - * Scalable IOs - * Portability Proto stability - * Go Ecosystem integration improvements - -Interoperability while not a blocking feature in itself, requires Beam Schema support, which -the SDK could then use as it's default coder.
