[PR] Reduce number of layers for Beam container images [beam]
Abacn opened a new pull request, #38440:
URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/38440
Reduced Java container layer from 23->14; reduced Go container layer 17->4.
Mitigate artifact registry GET request http 429 error when frequently pull. The number of request is proportional to the number of container layers.

Review Comment:

The comment on line 33 is placed inside a multi-line `COPY` command. Dockerfile syntax does not support comments between line continuation characters (`\`). This will cause the build to fail because the parser will treat the comment and subsequent lines as arguments to the `COPY` command. The comment should be moved above the command.
```

Review Comment:

The `open-module-agent.jar` is only present in Java 9+ builds. Using a specific filename in `COPY` will cause the build to fail if the file is missing (e.g., in Java 8 environments). Using a wildcard (e.g., `target/open-module-agent.jar*`) makes this file optional and ensures the build remains robust across different Java versions.
```
COPY target/open-module-agent.jar* target/beam-sdks-java-harness.jar /opt/apache/beam/jars/
```

Review Comment:

Use `COPY` instead of `ADD` for local files when no extraction is required. This is a Docker best practice and maintains consistency with the improvements made in the Java Dockerfile.

COPY target/${TARGETOS}_${TARGETARCH}/boot /opt/apache/beam/

Review Comment:

For local files and directories, `COPY` is preferred over `ADD` unless you specifically need the auto-extraction feature of `ADD` (e.g., for tarballs). Using `COPY` is more explicit and follows Docker best practices, consistent with other changes in this pull request.
```
COPY target/third_party_licenses /opt/apache/beam/third_party_licenses/

## Summary of Changes
Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist[^1]! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request optimizes the Docker container images for both Java and Go SDKs by reducing the total number of layers. By consolidating build instructions and squashing base images, the changes aim to decrease the frequency of HTTP 429 errors encountered when pulling images from artifact registries, thereby improving deployment reliability.
### Highlights
* **Go Container Optimization**: Squashed the distroless base image into a single layer using a multi-stage build with 'scratch' to reduce the total layer count from 17 to 4.
* **Java Container Optimization**: Consolidated multiple 'ADD' and 'COPY' instructions into fewer layers to reduce the total layer count from 23 to 14.
* **Performance Impact**: Reduced the number of container layers to mitigate HTTP 429 errors from artifact registries caused by excessive pull requests.
