Reference documentation and code samples for the Dataflow v1beta3 API class Package.
The packages that must be installed in order for a worker to run the
steps of the Cloud Dataflow job that will be assigned to its worker
pool.
This is the mechanism by which the Cloud Dataflow SDK causes code to
be loaded onto the workers. For example, the Cloud Dataflow Java SDK
might use this to install jars containing the user's code and all of the
various dependencies (libraries, data files, etc.) required in order
for that code to run.
