------------------------------------------
Summary: Split Beam Python base image into a 'slim' version and
'regular/extended' version
Key: BEAM-11166
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-11166
Project: Beam
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: sdk-py-core
Reporter: Valentyn Tymofieiev
Beam container image includes several dependencies that are not essential to
Beam, but may be commonly used by some users. Some dependencies may be relevant
only for particular runners.
Installing dependencies in Beam containers increases image size. For example,
installing TensorFlow adds ~1G or so of space into the unpacked image.
Some Beam users may be size conscious, and would prefer an image with minimal
dependencies.
Some Beam users and Beam runner maintainers may prefer an image that includes
additional dependencies. These extended images may provide better user
experience in some scenarios, but the overall image would be larger.
We should consider splitting beam image into slim and regular version to
accommodate these different usage scenarios.
