-----------------------------------
Summary: Simplify version override for Dev versions of the Go SDK.
Key: BEAM-13805
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-13805
Project: Beam
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: sdk-go
Reporter: Robert Burke
Right now, the Go SDK has a version constant that's ticked up every release cut
at core.SDKVersion
https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/sdks/go/pkg/beam/core/core.go#L30
But it's presently a dev version for SDK developers, which means any containers
or Jars that are requested, may not exist or be built. This is inconvenient for
SDK developers.
The problem also extends to SDK release verification, as until the release is
done, similarly no such versions exist in a published format. However, release
validation should likely be validating against manually started Expansion
services anyway, to ensure the version being tested is what's expected.
There should be a simple way to override the version string, in particular for
Xlang transforms to simplify wrapper development.
Ultimately, it should probably be a function in the core package called by
version aware code, and a variable that can be set by flag somewhere.
