[jira] [Commented] (BEAM-320) Provide Beam keyturn binary distributions embedding runners and execution runtime

["Amit Sela (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-320?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15366734#comment-15366734 ] 

Amit Sela commented on BEAM-320:
--------------------------------

What about execution runtime source packaging ?

On one hand it would be easier for the user to have the runner dependency "bring-along" the execution runtime as well (like the flink-runner does), on the other hand I'm not an Apache Spark PMC or even a Committer, and I'm not sure if doing such a thing would be OK. Sounds like the people who own this code have to make this call. BTW [~jbonofre] how does it usually work ? How does it work with Hadoop across all projects using it ?

[~vrozov] mentioned that it's against Apache policy to include compiled binaries in the source release, how does this affect the choices we have ?

> Now, the only distribution Beam provides is the source distribution.
> For new users, it could be interesting to have ready-to-use binary distribution embedding the SDK, a specific runner with the backend execution runtime.
> For instance, we could provide:
> - beam-spark-xxx.tar.gz containing SDK, Spark runner, Spark
> - beam-flink-xxx.tar.gz containing SDK, Flink runner, Flink
> Thoughts ?
