Beam 2.60.0 release

We are happy to present the new 2.60.0 release of Beam.
This release includes both improvements and new functionality.

For more information on changes in 2.60.0, check out the detailed release notes.

Highlights

• Added support for using vLLM in the RunInference transform (Python) (#32528)
• [Managed Iceberg] Added support for streaming writes (#32451)
• [Managed Iceberg] Added auto-sharding for streaming writes (#32612)
• [Managed Iceberg] Added support for writing to dynamic destinations (#32565)

New Features / Improvements

• Dataflow worker can install packages from Google Artifact Registry Python repositories (Python) (#32123).
• Added support for Zstd codec in SerializableAvroCodecFactory (Java) (#32349)
• Added support for using vLLM in the RunInference transform (Python) (#32528)
• Prism release binaries and container bootloaders are now being built with the latest Go 1.23 patch. (#32575)
• Prism
  • Prism now supports Bundle Finalization. (#32425)
• Significantly improved performance of Kafka IO reads that enable commitOffsetsInFinalize by removing the data reshuffle from SDF implementation. (#31682).
• Added support for dynamic writing in MqttIO (Java) (#19376)
• Optimized Spark Runner parDo transform evaluator (Java) (#32537)
• [Managed Iceberg] More efficient manifest file writes/commits (#32666)

Breaking Changes

• In Python, assert_that now throws if it is not in a pipeline context instead of silently succeeding (#30771)
• In Python and YAML, ReadFromJson now override the dtype from None to
  an explicit False. Most notably, string values like "123" are preserved
  as strings rather than silently coerced (and possibly truncated) to numeric
  values. To retain the old behavior, pass dtype=True (or any other value
  accepted by pandas.read_json).
• Users of KafkaIO Read transform that enable commitOffsetsInFinalize might encounter pipeline graph compatibility issues when updating the pipeline. To mitigate, set the updateCompatibilityVersion option to the SDK version used for the original pipeline, example --updateCompatabilityVersion=2.58.1

Deprecations

• Python 3.8 is reaching EOL and support is being removed in Beam 2.61.0. The 2.60.0 release will warn users
  when running on 3.8. (#31192)

Bugfixes

• (Java) Fixed custom delimiter issues in TextIO (#32249, #32251).
• (Java, Python, Go) Fixed PeriodicSequence backlog bytes reporting, which was preventing Dataflow Runner autoscaling from functioning properly (#32506).
• (Java) Fix improper decoding of rows with schemas containing nullable fields when encoded with a schema with equal encoding positions but modified field order. (#32388).

Beam 2.58.1 release

We are happy to present the new 2.58.1 release of Beam.
This release includes both improvements and new functionality.
See the download page for this release.

New Features / Improvements

• Fixed issue where KafkaIO Records read with ReadFromKafkaViaSDF are redistributed and may contain duplicates regardless of the configuration. This affects Java pipelines with Dataflow v2 runner and xlang pipelines reading from Kafka, (#32196)

Known Issues

• Large Dataflow graphs using runner v2, or pipelines explicitly enabling the upload_graph experiment, will fail at construction time (#32159).
• Python pipelines that run with 2.53.0-2.58.0 SDKs and read data from GCS might be affected by a data corruption issue (#32169). The issue will be fixed in 2.59.0 (#32135). To work around this, update the google-cloud-storage package to version 2.18.2 or newer.

See the download page for this release.

For more information about changes in 2.58.0, check out the detailed release notes.

I/Os

• Support for Solace source (SolaceIO.Read) added (Java) (#31440).

New Features / Improvements

• Multiple RunInference instances can now share the same model instance by setting the model_identifier parameter (Python) (#31665).
• Added options to control the number of Storage API multiplexing connections (#31721)
• [BigQueryIO] Better handling for batch Storage Write API when it hits AppendRows throughput quota (#31837)

Beam 2.57.0 Release

We are happy to present the new 2.57.0 release of Beam.
This release includes both improvements and new functionality.
See the download page for this release.

For more information on changes in 2.57.0, check out the detailed release notes.

Highlights

• Apache Beam adds Python 3.12 support (#29149).
• Added FlinkRunner for Flink 1.18 (#30789).

I/Os

• Ensure that BigtableIO closes the reader streams (#31477).

New Features / Improvements

• Added Feast feature store handler for enrichment transform (Python) (#30957).
• BigQuery per-worker metrics are reported by default for Streaming Dataflow Jobs (Java) (#31015)
• Adds inMemory() variant of Java List and Map side inputs for more efficient lookups when the entire side input fits into memory.
• Beam YAML now supports the jinja templating syntax.
  Template variables can be passed with the (json-formatted) --jinja_variables flag.
• DataFrame API now supports pandas 2.1.x and adds 12 more string functions for Series.(#31185).
• Added BigQuery handler for enrichment transform (Python) (#31295)
• Disable soft delete policy when creating the default bucket for a project (Java) (#31324).
• Added DoFn.SetupContextParam and DoFn.BundleContextParam which can be used
  as a python DoFn.process, Map, or FlatMap parameter to invoke a context
  manager per DoFn setup or bundle (analogous to using setup/teardown
  or start_bundle/finish_bundle respectively.)
• Go SDK Prism Runner
  • Pre-built Prism binaries are now part of the release and are available via the Github release page. (#29697).
  • Some pipelines will work on Java and Python, but this is in part to prepare for real runner wrappers in 2.58.0
  • ProcessingTime is now handled synthetically with TestStream pipelines and Non-TestStream pipelines, for fast test pipeline execution by default. (#30083).
    • Prism does NOT yet support "real time" execution for this release.
• Improve processing for large elements to reduce the chances for exceeding 2GB protobuf limits (Python)([https://github.com//issues/31607]).

Breaking Changes

• Java's View.asList() side inputs are now optimized for iterating rather than
  indexing when in the global window.
  This new implementation still supports all (immutable) List methods as before,
  but some of the random access methods like get() and size() will be slower.
  To use the old implementation one can use View.asList().withRandomAccess().
• SchemaTransforms implemented with TypedSchemaTransformProvider now produce a
  configuration Schema with snake_case naming convention
  (#31374). This will make the following
  cases problematic:
  • Running a pre-2.57.0 remote SDK pipeline containing a 2.57.0+ Java SchemaTransform,
    and vice versa:
  • Running a 2.57.0+ remote SDK pipeline containing a pre-2.57.0 Java SchemaTransform
  • All direct uses of Python's SchemaAwareExternalTransform
    should be updated to use new snake_case parameter names.
• Upgraded Jackson Databind to 2.15.4 (Java) (#26743).
  jackson-2.15 has known breaking changes. An important one is it imposed a buffer limit for parser.
  If your custom PTransform/DoFn are affected, refer to #31580 for mitigation.

Beam 2.56.0 release

We are happy to present the new 2.56.0 release of Beam.
This release includes both improvements and new functionality.
See the download page for this release.

For more information on changes in 2.56.0, check out the detailed release notes.

Highlights

• Added FlinkRunner for Flink 1.17, removed support for Flink 1.12 and 1.13. Previous version of Pipeline running on Flink 1.16 and below can be upgraded to 1.17, if the Pipeline is first updated to Beam 2.56.0 with the same Flink version. After Pipeline runs with Beam 2.56.0, it should be possible to upgrade to FlinkRunner with Flink 1.17. (#29939)
• New Managed I/O Java API (#30830).
• New Ordered Processing PTransform added for processing order-sensitive stateful data (#30735).

I/Os

• Upgraded Avro version to 1.11.3, kafka-avro-serializer and kafka-schema-registry-client versions to 7.6.0 (Java) (#30638).
  The newer Avro package is known to have breaking changes. If you are affected, you can keep pinned to older Avro versions which are also tested with Beam.
• Iceberg read/write support is available through the new Managed I/O Java API (#30830).

New Features / Improvements

• Profiling of Cythonized code has been disabled by default. This might improve performance for some Python pipelines (#30938).
• Bigtable enrichment handler now accepts a custom function to build a composite row key. (Python) (#30974).

Breaking Changes

• Default consumer polling timeout for KafkaIO.Read was increased from 1 second to 2 seconds. Use KafkaIO.read().withConsumerPollingTimeout(Duration duration) to configure this timeout value when necessary (#30870).
• Python Dataflow users no longer need to manually specify --streaming for pipelines using unbounded sources such as ReadFromPubSub.

Bugfixes

• Fixed locking issue when shutting down inactive bundle processors. Symptoms of this issue include slowness or stuckness in long-running jobs (Python) (#30679).
• Fixed logging issue that caused silecing the pip output when installing of dependencies provided in --requirements_file (Python).

Beam 2.55.1 release

Bugfixes

• Fixed issue that broke WriteToJson in languages other than Java (X-lang) (#30776).

Beam 2.55.0 release

We are happy to present the new 2.55.0 release of Beam.
This release includes both improvements and new functionality.
See the download page for this release.

For more information on changes in 2.55.0, check out the detailed release notes.

Highlights

• The Python SDK will now include automatically generated wrappers for external Java transforms! (#29834)

I/Os

• Added support for handling bad records to BigQueryIO (#30081).
  • Full Support for Storage Read and Write APIs
  • Partial Support for File Loads (Failures writing to files supported, failures loading files to BQ unsupported)
  • No Support for Extract or Streaming Inserts
• Added support for handling bad records to PubSubIO (#30372).
  • Support is not available for handling schema mismatches, and enabling error handling for writing to Pub/Sub topics with schemas is not recommended
• --enableBundling pipeline option for BigQueryIO DIRECT_READ is replaced by --enableStorageReadApiV2. Both were considered experimental and subject to change (Java) (#26354).

New Features / Improvements

• Allow writing clustered and not time-partitioned BigQuery tables (Java) (#30094).
• Redis cache support added to RequestResponseIO and Enrichment transform (Python) (#30307)
• Merged sdks/java/fn-execution and runners/core-construction-java into the main SDK. These artifacts were never meant for users, but noting
  that they no longer exist. These are steps to bring portability into the core SDK alongside all other core functionality.
• Added Vertex AI Feature Store handler for Enrichment transform (Python) (#30388)

Breaking Changes

• Arrow version was bumped to 15.0.0 from 5.0.0 (#30181).
• Go SDK users who build custom worker containers may run into issues with the move to distroless containers as a base (see Security Fixes).
  • The issue stems from distroless containers lacking additional tools, which current custom container processes may rely on.
  • See https://beam.apache.org/documentation/runtime/environments/#from-scratch-go for instructions on building and using a custom container.
• Python SDK has changed the default value for the --max_cache_memory_usage_mb pipeline option from 100 to 0. This option was first introduced in the 2.52.0 SDK version. This change restores the behavior of the 2.51.0 SDK, which does not use the state cache. If your pipeline uses iterable side inputs views, consider increasing the cache size by setting the option manually. (#30360).

Deprecations

• N/A

Bug fixes

• Fixed SpannerIO.readChangeStream to support propagating credentials from pipeline options
  to the getDialect calls for authenticating with Spanner (Java) (#30361).
• Reduced the number of HTTP requests in GCSIO function calls (Python) (#30205)

Security Fixes

• Go SDK base container image moved to distroless/base-nossl-debian12, reducing vulnerable container surface to kernel and glibc (#30011).

Known Issues

• In Python pipelines, when shutting down inactive bundle processors, shutdown logic can overaggressively hold the lock, blocking acceptance of new work. Symptoms of this issue include slowness or stuckness in long-running jobs. Fixed in 2.56.0 (#30679).
