- Content as discussed in this thread:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-beam-dev/201603.mbox/%3CCAB8MnHW6mE3GXvemDStCvn_1zMxqXj0ZWLJBgO9hNuHed9ue%2Bw%40mail.gmail.com%3E
and as iterated upon by relevant committers in this doc:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OM077lZBARrtUi6g0X0O0PHaIbFKCD6v0djRefQRE1I/edit
- Enumerates current capabilities per-runner in _data/capability-matrix.yml.
This file should be kept up to date over time as runners evolve, new
runners are added, etc.
- Creates new page with live capability matrix, which will be updated over
time via changes to the aforementioned YAML file.
- Create new blog post with summary snapshot of the current matrix.
- Update authors support in blog post templates to handle multiple authors.

+# Apache Beam Capability Matrix
+
+Apache Beam (incubating) provides a portable API layer for building sophisticated data-parallel processing engines that may be executed across a diversity of exeuction engines, or <i>runners</i>. The core concepts of this layer are based upon the Beam Model (formerly referred to as the [Dataflow Model](http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol8/p1792-Akidau.pdf)), and implemented to varying degrees in each Beam runner. To help clarify the capabilities of individual runners, we've created the capability matrix below.
+
+Individual capabilities have been grouped by their corresponding <span class="wwwh-what-dark">What</span> / <span class="wwwh-where-dark">Where</span> / <span class="wwwh-when-dark">When</span> / <span class="wwwh-how-dark">How</span> question:
+
+- <span class="wwwh-what-dark">What</span> results are being calculated?
+- <span class="wwwh-where-dark">Where</span> in event time?
+- <span class="wwwh-when-dark">When</span> in processing time?
+- <span class="wwwh-how-dark">How</span> do refinements of results relate?
+
+For more details on the <span class="wwwh-what-dark">What</span> / <span class="wwwh-where-dark">Where</span> / <span class="wwwh-when-dark">When</span> / <span class="wwwh-how-dark">How</span> breakdown of concepts, we recommend reading through the <a href="http://oreilly.com/ideas/the-world-beyond-batch-streaming-102">Streaming 102</a> post on O'Reilly Radar.
+
+Note that in the future, we intend to add additional tables beyond the current set, for things like runtime characterstics (e.g. at-least-once vs exactly-once), performance, etc.

+
+With initial code drops complete ([Dataflow SDK and Runner](https://github.com/apache/incubator-beam/pull/1), [Flink Runner](https://github.com/apache/incubator-beam/pull/12), [Spark Runner](https://github.com/apache/incubator-beam/pull/42)) and expressed interest in runner implementations for [Storm](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-9), [Hadoop](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-19), and [Gearpump](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-79) (amongst others), we wanted to start addressing a big question in the Apache Beam (incubating) community: what capabilities will each runner be able to support?
+
+While we’d love to have a world where all runners support the full suite of semantics included in the Beam Model (formerly referred to as the [Dataflow Model](http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol8/p1792-Akidau.pdf)), practically speaking, there will always be certain features that some runners can’t provide. For example, a Hadoop-based runner would be inherently batch-based and may be unable to (easily) implement support for unbounded collections. However, that doesn’t prevent it from being extremely useful for a large set of uses. In other cases, the implementations provided by one runner may have slightly different semantics that those provided by another (e.g. even though the current suite of runners all support exactly-once delivery guarantees, an [Apache Samza](http://samza.apache.org/) runner, which would be a welcome addition, would currently only support at-least-once).
+
+To help clarify things, we’ve been working on enumerating the key features of the Beam model in a [capability matrix]({{ site.baseurl }}/capability-matrix/) for all existing runners, categorized around the four key questions addressed by the model: <span class="wwwh-what-dark">What</span> / <span class="wwwh-where-dark">Where</span> / <span class="wwwh-when-dark">When</span> / <span class="wwwh-how-dark">How</span> (if you’re not familiar with those questions, you might want to read through [Streaming 102](http://oreilly.com/ideas/the-world-beyond-batch-streaming-102) for an overview). This table will be maintained over time as the model evolves, our understanding grows, and runners are created or features added.
+
+Included below is a summary snapshot of our current understanding of the capabilities of the existing runners (see the [live version]({{ site.baseurl }}/capability-matrix/) for full details, descriptions, and Jira links); since integration is still under way, the system as whole isn’t yet in a completely stable, usable state. But that should be changing in the near future, and we’ll be updating loud and clear on this blog when the first supported Beam 1.0 release happens.
+
+In the meantime, these tables should help clarify where we expect to be in the very near term, and help guide expectations about what existing runners are capable of, and what features runner implementers will be tackling next.
