[GitHub] [beam] BjornPrime opened a new issue, #25679: Replace dataflow_v1b3_client with a Google Cloud Python client

["BjornPrime (via GitHub)" <gi...@apache.org>]

BjornPrime opened a new issue, #25679:
URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/25679

   ### What would you like to happen?
   
   Replace references to the apitools-generated Dataflow client (sdks/python/apache_beam/runners/dataflow/internal/clients/dataflow) with analogous calls to [Google Cloud Python](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-python) clients. [Google Cloud Dataflow](https://github.com/googleapis/python-dataflow-client) is promising however it is still in beta as of this writing.
   
   Please ensure that all client references are being thoroughly tested before swapping the GCP client in for the old client. The job is done when the old client can be safely deleted from Beam without impacting functionality.
   
   Background:
   
   apitools is deprecated and continued reliance on it is complicating Beam's dependency management. In order to remove it we need to replace the clients that it currently generates with [Google Cloud Python](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-python) clients, which are being actively maintained (and should be reasonably up-to-date in google3, though please confirm for any particular libraries you end up using.)
