Kenneth Knowles commented on BEAM-9999:
---------------------------------------

Makes sense to me, especially if Beam is moving on in ways that require updates 
(like Java 11) or if there is maintenance burden. I think the important thing 
is whether they have users. You can get some general ideas from 
https://repository.apache.org/#central-stat (committers only access) but it 
cannot distinguish continuous testing downloads of course.

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-9999
>             Project: Beam
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: runner-apex, runner-core
>            Reporter: Ahmet Altay
>            Priority: Major
>
> These runners look EOLed, not maintained:
> - Apex (last release 2+ years ago)
> - Gearpump (last release 1+ year ago)
> Removing support for these could reduce the code base size, reduce flaky 
> test, and make it easier to add new features.
