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).
