This is a follow-up of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZEPPELIN-682
During Apache Big Data / ApacheCon I briefly discussed with Alexander Bezzubov (if I remember well) about an initial plan to support Apache Beam in three phases: 1. support the scala sdk (scio) + scala runners (spark): This is first since most of the pieces exist already, we just need to put the things together. 2. integrate the java sdk The big issue here is that there is not (yet) a decent java repl tool, and the support of such repl in Zeppelin is an ongoing work. 3. integrate the python sdk This one depends on the release of the python sdk in the upcoming weeks, and its priority can change if integration is easier than the other two tasks. Additionally I created a new issue in the Beam JIRA to follow track of the needs from the Beam side. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-290 Of course this message is a call to other interested parties to contribute, e.g. to prioritize some tasks, test code, etc. I can co-mentor some people and eventually with tasks from the Beam side. So I hope to hear from you and start contributing soon. Ismaël Mejía
