Provide Beam turnkey binary distributions embedding runners and execution runtime #17985
Description
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 ?
