Ahmet Altay commented on BEAM-2156: ----------------------------------- One idea is to have an internal api to check for some extra features and optionally import stuff based on the available features. > Clean up import guards for GCP libraries in the python SDK > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: BEAM-2156 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-2156 > Project: Beam > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: sdk-py > Reporter: Vikas Kedigehalli > Assignee: Ahmet Altay > Priority: Minor > > For protecting against environments that do not have gcp libraries installed > we have import guards like > https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/sdks/python/apache_beam/io/gcp/datastore/v1/helper.py#L21 > which is ugly. Need to come up with a better approach to handle such > scenarios. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
