      Work Description: mxm commented on issue #8639: [BEAM-7084] Allow custom 
environments for external transforms
URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/8639#issuecomment-494842957
 
 
   >(1) An expansion service that produces transforms tagged with the "vanilla" 
docker environment but relies on dependencies not in this environment. In my 
book, such an expansion service is simply broken and it's not the user's 
responsibility to fix it.
   
   What you describe is the current state of the expansion service which always 
uses the standard Docker environment. The idea of the PR was to give users the 
option to configure the environment. There are more sophisticated ways to 
determining the correct environment but I think they are out of scope here.
   
   >(2) An expansion service vending transforms that can be part of a variety 
of environments (e.g. subprocess, embedded, or docker) which wants input into 
which one the user would prefer (or force?). It's a bit unclear how it would 
specify dependencies (artifacts?) in addition, or given an environment how it 
would detect that its transforms are compatible with it (absent a fixed list).
   
   If a user has created a dedicated environment for the desired external 
transforms, I don't see a reason to prevent him/her from using it. What you are 
describing is a more advanced process which we will work out in the discussions 
around artifact resolution. We could include additional information about the 
environment which would be used by the Expansion Server to compare it against 
other environments. Again, the idea here was just to enable use of custom 
environments.

> The {{ExpansionService}} registers a default Docker JAVA SDK environment. 
> Users should be able to specify other types of environment, i.e. 
> Process/External/Embedded.
> We can add an {{environment_type}} field to the {{ExpansionRequest}} Proto 
> message.
