charlespnh opened a new pull request, #35568: URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/35568
**Please** add a meaningful description for your change here Part of a larger effort https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/35069 and https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/35068 to add more examples involving Kafka and ML use cases. Introduce a streaming inference pipeline for the regression problem of taxi fare estimation, where the YAML pipeline reads from the public PubSub topic `projects/pubsub-public-data/topics/taxirides-realtime` and writes to a Kafka topic, then reads from the same Kafka topic and does some transformations before the `RunInference` transform performs remote inference with Vertex AI model handler and a custom trained XGBoost model deployed to a Vertex AI endpoint. A notebook for training and deploying this XGBoost model is also included. ------------------------ Thank you for your contribution!
