SDK version support status

This page lists the support status for Apache Beam and Dataflow SDK releases:

Support-level definitions

The following are the support levels for the Apache Beam SDK:

  • Supported - Apache Beam SDK versions are supported by Dataflow from their release date until their deprecation date.
  • Deprecated - Once an SDK version has been announced as deprecated, it will continue to work with Dataflow, but is eligible to be decommissioned. The deprecated version may or may not be scheduled to be decommissioned. Requests for jobs submitted from deprecated SDK versions will result in a warning message. Environments using a deprecated version of an SDK should be updated to a supported version to avoid interruptions.
  • Decommissioned - After the deprecation period, decommissioned SDK versions will no longer work with Dataflow. Requests for jobs submitted from decommissioned SDK versions will result in an error. Environments using a decommissioned version of an SDK must be updated to a supported version to be used with Dataflow.

Note that the above definitions do not apply to SDKs or features that have never been supported, such as the Apache Beam SDK for Go.

Apache Beam 2.x SDKs

Apache Beam is an open source, community-led project. Google is part of the community, but we do not own the project or control the release process. We might open bugs or submit patches to the Apache Beam codebase on behalf of Dataflow customers, but we cannot create hotfixes or official releases of Apache Beam on demand. See the Apache Beam policies page for more details about release policies.

Dataflow supports specific Apache Beam SDK components for the SDK releases listed below. These components have been tested thoroughly with Dataflow. Experimental features are not supported.

See the Apache Beam release notes for change information.

Note: Development SDK versions (marked as -SNAPSHOT for Java and .dev for Python) are unsupported.

The following tables contains the support status for the Apache Beam 2.x SDKs:

org.apache.beam:beam-model-job-management
org.apache.beam:beam-sdks-java-io-kafka

This version will be deprecated on April 29, 2022.

Known issue: If you use Runner V2, by default Dataflow will use a Java 8 SDK container regardless of user Java version. To work around for Java 11, you can override the default SDK image by providing pipeline option `--worker_harness_container_image=gcr.io/cloud-dataflow/v1beta3/beam_java11_sdk:2.29.0` See Apache Beam issue tracker for more information.

This version will be deprecated on September 18, 2021.

Known issue: If you use timers that reset, rather than timers that are set and only fired once, you should not upgrade to 2.24.0. When a timer fires but is reset prior to being executed, a watermark hold can be leaked, causing your pipeline job to be stuck. See the Apache Beam issue tracker for more information.

Deprecated as of February 11, 2020.

Known issues:
  • SDK 2.10.0 depends on gcsio client library version 1.9.13, which has known issues:

    To work around these issues, either upgrade to SDK 2.11.0, or override the gcsio client library version to 1.9.16 or later.

  • The Dataflow runner has an incorrect logging configuration that might cause all logs to be missing. To work around this issue, add slf4j-jdk14 to your runtime dependencies.

Deprecated as of December 13, 2019.

Known issues:
  • Users enabling the Streaming Engine (Beta) experiment should not upgrade to SDK 2.9.0 due to a known issue. If you choose to use SDK 2.9.0, you must also set the enable_conscrypt_security_provider experimental flag to enable Conscrypt, which has known stability issues.
  • In a specific case, users of Apache Beam Java SDKs 2.9.0 and earlier might experience data duplication when reading files from Cloud Storage. Duplication might occur when all of the following conditions are true:
    • You are reading files with the content-encoding set to gzip, and the files are dynamically decompressive transcoded by Cloud Storage.
    • The file size (decompressed) is larger than 2.14 GB.
    • The input stream runs into an error (and is recreated) after 2.14 GB is read.
    As a workaround, do not set the content-encoding header, and store compressed files in Cloud Storage with the proper extension (for example, gz for gzip). For existing files, you can update the content-encoding header and file name with the gsutil tool.

Known issues:
  • Pipelines might become stuck due to an issue with the Conscrypt library. If you see errors in Stackdriver logging with stack traces that include Conscrypt related calls, you might be affected by this issue. To resolve the issue, upgrade to SDK 2.9.0 or higher.
  • In a specific case, users of Apache Beam Java SDKs 2.9.0 and earlier might experience data duplication when reading files from Cloud Storage. Duplication might occur when all of the following conditions are true:

  • In a specific case, users of Apache Beam Java SDKs 2.9.0 and earlier might experience data duplication when reading files from Cloud Storage. Duplication might occur when all of the following conditions are true:
    • You are reading files with the content-encoding set to gzip, and the files are dynamically decompressive transcoded by Cloud Storage.
    • The file size (decompressed) is larger than 2.14 GB.
    • The input stream runs into an error (and is recreated) after 2.14 GB is read.
    As a workaround, do not set the content-encoding header, and store compressed files in Cloud Storage with the proper extension (for example, gz for gzip). For existing files, you can update the content-encoding header and file name with the gsutil tool.

The following tables contains the support status for the Dataflow 2.x SDKs:

Java

See the Dataflow SDK 2.x for Java release notes for change information.

SDK version(s) Status Details
2.5.0 Deprecated

Deprecated as of June 6, 2019.

Known issue:
  • In a specific case, users of Dataflow Java SDKs 2.5.0 and earlier might experience data duplication when reading files from Cloud Storage. Duplication might occur when all of the following conditions are true:
    • You are reading files with the content-encoding set to gzip, and the files are dynamically decompressive transcoded by Cloud Storage.
    • The file size (decompressed) is larger than 2.14 GB.
    • The input stream runs into an error (and is recreated) after 2.14 GB is read.
    As a workaround, do not set the content-encoding header, and store compressed files in Cloud Storage with the proper extension (for example, gz for gzip). For existing files, you can update the content-encoding header and file name with the gsutil tool.
2.4.0 Deprecated
