Hi Romain, We didn't define a date yet.
However, I think it makes lot of sense to think about that. What about creating a beam-2.x branch and move master version to 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT ? I almost agree with your point even if I would suggest you to use a more positive tone: being sharp never encourage the community, contribution and don't motivate people. You can say things but with some friendly form. I would add: - Schema or PCollection: it's already started but I think we could do some improvements (potentially introducing some API change) - Hints/Annotations on PCollection: it's something we discussed during Beam Summit with Tyler and others. The idea is to mimic the Message Headers in Apache Camel. It would allow us to have more dynamic IOs and transforms, and give some additional statements to the runners. I'm proposing to start a vote to create the 2.x branch and move master to Beam 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT as join effort.
