Kyle Weaver commented on BEAM-8274:
-----------------------------------
Do we still want to do this? Enabling beam_fn_api by default seems like an
adequate solution, so I'm not sure we want to do a deeper change unless there's
a real benefit.
> Remove dependency on experiments=beam_fn_api flag from PortableRunner

> Key: BEAM-8274
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-8274
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: sdk-py-core
> Reporter: Maximilian Michels
> Priority: Major
>
> The execution path of Python's {{PortableRunner}} depends on the
> {{experiments=beam_fn_api}} flag. This flag is set automatically but has been
> broken in the past, e.g. when the {{FlinkRunner}} was subclassed from the
> {{PortableRunner}} (BEAM-8037).
> We should get rid of the flag, as the only supported execution path for the
> PortableRunner is the BeamFnApi. Perhaps we can move the flag to the Dataflow
> runners which may still depend on it.
