Hi guys,

congrats for the 2.0!

I have a few question regarding a custom runner implementation, there is no
particular order but adding numbers for later references:

1. why beam doesn't have (yet?) a RunnerAdapter with all primivite listed
and enforced by API, if I got right the code (shout if not) each runner is
creating its own processing context and convertion at the moment which kind
of means beam doesn't abstract the runtime which makes it harder to enter
into beam model IMHO (vs defining by contract all operations - potentially
with defaults when compositions are possible)
2. close to previous point (still around runner): i find quite hard to
browse the DAG of beam compared to a plain DAG, is it intended to be so low
level, can't we get a simple graph model?

Maybe I'm just hitting a not yet extended/defined land and therefore an
user friendly API is missing or I missed a central concept - in this case
shout :p.

Any pointers would be very welcomed on how to implement a runner without
redefining a full transpiler/converter - or is it outside beam scope?


FYI here what I have https://github.com/rmannibucau/beam-hazelcast-runner
and here where I'm stucked (hesitating to redefine a full transpiler since
I expected beam to help):
