My Google Cloud Console Dataflow page https://console.cloud.google.com/dataflow?project=myproject says that of v. 2.2.0 "This version of the SDK is deprecated and will eventually be no longer supported. Learn more <https://cloud.google.com/dataflow/getting-support?_ga=2.110689996.-839455576.1542715999> " [image: image.png]
However, the Dataflow documentation <https://cloud.google.com/dataflow/docs/support/sdk-version-support-status>clearly states that 2.2.0 is supported as follows: [image: image.png] The deprecation notice on that page contrasts deprecated versions to the apparently non-deprecated v. 2.0.0 *Cloud Dataflow SDK Deprecation Notice:* The Cloud Dataflow SDK 2.5.0 is the last Cloud Dataflow SDK release that is separate from the Apache Beam SDK releases. The Cloud Dataflow service fully supports official Apache Beam SDK releases. The Cloud Dataflow service also supports previously released Apache Beam SDKs starting with version 2.0.0 and above. Why this contradiction?
