description = "Apache Beam is an open source, unified model and set of language-specific SDKs for defining and executing data processing workflows, and also data ingestion and integration flows, supporting Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIPs) and Domain Specific Languages (DSLs). Dataflow pipelines simplify the mechanics of large-scale batch and streaming data processing and can run on a number of runtimes like Apache Flink, Apache Spark, and Google Cloud Dataflow (a cloud service). Beam also brings DSL in different languages, allowing users to easily implement their data integration processes."

* IcebergIO: support writing with hash distribution mode, and with autosharding ([#38061](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/38061)).


### New Features / Improvements

* 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)).
* 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)).
* TriggerStateMachineRunner changes from BitSetCoder to SentinelBitSetCoder to
encode finished bitset. SentinelBitSetCoder and BitSetCoder are state
compatible. Both coders can decode encoded bytes from the other coder
([#38139](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/38139)).
* (Python) Added type alias for with_exception_handling to be used for typehints. ([#38173](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/38173)).
* (Java) BatchElements transform for Java SDK ([#38369](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/38369))
* Added plugin mechanism to support different Lineage implementations (Java) ([#36790](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/36790)).
* (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)).
* (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)).

There is a typo in 'pipelne' (should be 'pipeline') and a grammatical error ('type ... are' should be 'type ... is').

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)).

### Breaking Changes

* (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))

### Deprecations

* Dropped Java 8 support ([#31678](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/31678)).
* Removed Samza Runner support ([#35448](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/35448)).

### Bugfixes

* Fixed BigQueryEnrichmentHandler batch mode dropping earlier requests when multiple requests share the same enrichment key (Python) ([#38035](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/38035)).
* 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)).

### Security Fixes

* Fixed [CVE-YYYY-NNNN](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-YYYY-NNNN) (Java/Python/Go) ([#X](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/X)).

The release notes link for version 2.73.0 is incorrect; it points to v2.70.0 instead of v2.73.0.
