How does dependency management work in Apache Beam?

In Apache Beam, dependency management is handled through build tools such as Maven or Gradle. Developers can specify the required dependencies in the project’s build file, which will be automatically downloaded and included in the project during the build process. Apache Beam itself defines some basic dependencies, such as the Beam SDK and related extension libraries. Developers can add additional dependencies as needed to introduce other libraries or frameworks to extend Beam’s functionality. Through the build tool’s dependency management, Apache Beam can easily manage and update dependencies to ensure that the libraries and versions used in the project remain consistent and reliable.
