Robert Burke commented on BEAM-13170:
-------------------------------------
+1 to moving that to the BPG.
Anything not linked from the BPG doesn't get updated as frequently, and is a
bit harder to find. (eg. The "Design" "Create" and "Test" your pipeline pages
are java exclusive except a few sections in the Test pages...
https://beam.apache.org/documentation/pipelines/design-your-pipeline/ )
> Update Beam documentation to include Schema type mapping between various SDK
> languages

> Key: BEAM-13170
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-13170
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: cross-language, website
> Reporter: Chamikara Madhusanka Jayalath
> Priority: P1
>
> Currently documentation regarding how language specific types map to Beam
> schema types and vice versa are scattered in different locations.
> For example,
> * Following describes how Python types map to Beam schema types.
> [https://beam.apache.org/releases/pydoc/2.32.0/apache_beam.typehints.schemas.html]
> * Beam Programming Guides gives some details regarding types and few
> examples but this seems to be incomplete.
> [https://beam.apache.org/documentation/programming-guide/#schemas]
> * Following has a table that describes how types from various languages
> relate to each other.
> [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uu9pJktzT_O3DxGd1-Q2op4nRk4HekIZbzi-0oTAips/edit#bookmark=id.tlciv62z2d9u]
> * There's limited documentation on using Python NamedTupes to properly
> create Beam Rows.
>
> Ideally, we should extend the Beam Programming Guide (or create a new guide)
> to describe currently supported Schema types and how types from various SDK
> languages map to such types. We should also have enough examples to
> illustrate the usage.
