      Work Description: chadrik commented on issue #9811: [BEAM-8402] Create a 
class hierarchy to represent environments
URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/9811#issuecomment-545168831
 
 
   > I think Robert's idea is to specify a set of required runtime 
dependencies, in the form of "Java with Beam 2.16.0 with libraries XY"; and 
then let Beam create an environment that fits these requirements. 
   
   That's how I was reading it as well.  While that's potentially more user 
friendly, it also seems quite challenging.  If I request "Java with Beam 
2.16.0", and the runner happens to be using Java, it seems unsafe to assume 
that an embedded process is a valid replacement for docker, not in the least 
because I may have my own custom docker container for Beam-Java.   That said, 
it's still a very interesting idea.  Is there a ticket for this idea yet?
   
   Since that idea seems like it could take awhile to be designed and executed, 
I'm hoping that we can move forward with this PR in the meantime.   I think 
that the progress that we make on this and the subsequent work on the semantics 
of assigning environments to transforms (possibly including 
[BEAM-7850](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-7850)), would be useful 
in any case.  Any hey, we can always mark it as experimental :)

> As a first step towards making it possible to assign different environments 
> to sections of a pipeline, we first need to expose environment classes to the 
> pipeline API.  Unlike PTransforms, PCollections, Coders, and Windowings,  
> environments exists solely in the portability framework as protobuf objects.  
>  By creating a hierarchy of "native" classes that represent the various 
> environment types -- external, docker, process, etc -- users will be able to 
> instantiate these and assign them to parts of the pipeline.  The assignment 
> portion will be covered in a follow-up issue/PR.
