Hi Shen, I want to tell you (1) how things work today and (2) how we want them to be eventually.
(1) So far, each runner translates the Pipeline to their own graph format before serialization, so we have not yet encountered this issue. (2) We intend to make a standard mostly-readable JSON format for a Pipeline. It is based the Avro schema sketched in the design doc at https://s.apache.org/beam-runner-api and there is also a draft JSON schema at https://github.com/apache/incubator-beam/pull/662. You may wish to follow https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-115, though that is a very general ticket. Can you share any more details?
