| 29 | +For more information on changes in 2.74.0, check out the [detailed release notes](https://github.com/apache/beam/milestone/42). |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +## Highlights |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +* Spark 4 runner support for Java SDK ([#38255](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/38255)). |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +### I/Os |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +* IcebergIO: support declaring a table's sort order on dynamic table creation via the new `sort_fields` config ([#38269](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/38269)). |
| 38 | +* IcebergIO: support writing with hash distribution mode, and with autosharding ([#38061](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/38061)). |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +### New Features / Improvements |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +* Capability introduces an indicator for aggregations and timers firing during a pipeline drain, allowing users and sinks to recognize and appropriately handle potentially incomplete or partial data ([#36884](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/36884)). |
| 43 | +* Added support for setting disk provisioned IOPS and throughput in Dataflow runner via `--diskProvisionedIops` and `--diskProvisionedThroughputMibps` pipeline options (Java/Go/Python) ([#38349](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/38349)). |
| 44 | +* TriggerStateMachineRunner changes from BitSetCoder to SentinelBitSetCoder to |
| 45 | + encode finished bitset. SentinelBitSetCoder and BitSetCoder are state |
| 46 | + compatible. Both coders can decode encoded bytes from the other coder |
| 47 | + ([#38139](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/38139)). |
| 48 | +* (Python) Added type alias for with_exception_handling to be used for typehints. ([#38173](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/38173)). |
| 49 | +* (Java) BatchElements transform for Java SDK ([#38369](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/38369)) |
| 50 | +* Added plugin mechanism to support different Lineage implementations (Java) ([#36790](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/36790)). |
| 51 | +* (Python) Supported Python user type in Beam SQL. For example, SQL statements like `SELECT some_field from PCOLLECTION` can now operate a PCollection of Beam Row containing pickable Python user type ([#20738](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/20738)). |
| 52 | +* (Python) Introduced `beam.coders.registry.register_row` as preferred API to register a named tuple or dataclass with a Beam Row. At pipelne runtime, the original type associated with the registered row are preserved across the serialization boundary ([#38108](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/38108)). |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +### Breaking Changes |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +* (Python) Made Beartype the default fallback type checking tool. This can be disabled with the `--disable_beartype` pipeline option. ([#38275](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/38275)) |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +### Deprecations |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +* Dropped Java 8 support ([#31678](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/31678)). |
| 61 | +* Removed Samza Runner support ([#35448](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/35448)). |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +### Bugfixes |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +* Fixed BigQueryEnrichmentHandler batch mode dropping earlier requests when multiple requests share the same enrichment key (Python) ([#38035](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/38035)). |
| 66 | +* Added `max_batch_duration_secs` passthrough support in Python Enrichment BigQuery and CloudSQL handlers so batching duration can be forwarded to `BatchElements` ([#38243](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/38243)). |
