[Question] What are the supported and recommended JDK and Python versions
Hi!
Recently, I've seen questions around using incompatible JDK versions and
Python versions with Beam on Stackoverflow. For example, this question
<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57017337/what-is-the-latest-version-of-jdk-used-by-apache-beam>
about JDK and this question
<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62387489/gcp-dataflow-template-creation-issue-through-python-sdk/>
about using Python 3.8.
As we move Beam version forward, is there a public document continuously
updated that tells the user of below information, like:
Beam version
JDK version range
Python version range
WIP
2.22.0
8
2, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7
BEAM-2530 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-2530>
...
...
...
...
So that when they set up or maintain their project, they have a clear idea
of what works, what will work and what will not work in the future?
Thanks!
Ning.

I do not think we have this information very explicitly on our website. It
is a good idea to add a table like this to the docs.

The Java and Python SDK versions, on the other hand, change much more
slowly. So I'm not sure a full table is really necessary. Probably a list
of changes will suffice.

+1 to such a table.
While the Go SDK is still experimental, when that changes it would be
reasonable to ensure that the SDK releases function for the supported Go
versions at their time of release. Only two released Go versions are
supported by the Go team at a time (in terms of bugfixes and security
patches) and the language has a twice annual release cycle.

The Java [1] and Python [2] quickstart pages list these requirements, among
other places. Even if we add a table, there's no guarantee that people will
actually look at it before asking these questions on Stack Overflow.
It might help though if we also add the supported versions to the Java and
Python SDK landing pages as well.
