Summary of Changes

Hello @Midhat-kazmi, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request improves the Apache Beam programming guide by integrating a practical Python example for schema transforms, specifically focusing on selecting nested fields. This update ensures consistency with the existing Java documentation and provides Python users with a direct, runnable code snippet to understand and implement this functionality.

Highlights

• Documentation Update: Replaced a Java code snippet with a Python example in the "Schema Transforms (field selection)" section of the programming guide.
• Python Example Added: Introduced a clear Python example demonstrating how to select nested fields (e.g., shippingAddress.postCode) using apache_beam.Select and a lambda function.
• Code Cleanup: Removed a previously commented-out, less idiomatic Python example, streamlining the documentation.

🧠 New Feature in Public Preview: You can now enable Memory to help Gemini Code Assist learn from your team's feedback. This makes future code reviews more consistent and personalized to your project's style. Click here to enable Memory in your admin console.
