But, they might discover only when the pipeline runs, > when they receive an exception, that a given feature is not supported by the > targeted runner. > I would like to suggest to translate the capability matrix into the API with > annotations for example, so that, while coding, the user could know that, for > now, a given feature is not supported on the runner he targets. > => Eventually, the runner will need to decide if it can run a given pipeline > so we need a validation process in the build process to inform the user if > the pipeline is runable. Also it would require to specify the targeted > runner. To avoid specifying it in the code (which is against Beam portability > effort) we could specify it as a CLI parameter of the validation process. > => As a complement having a IDE plugin to give surface information to the > user will be good also. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
