Description
We need to update the beam version to 0.6.0-SNAPSHOT to include the fix for BEAM-1405 (Spark runner should not close the SparkContext when the context is provided). This fix is critical for using Beam for data preview.
We are currently on 0.5.0-SNAPSHOT release, but the upcoming 0.5.0 stable release does not include the fix.
I do not believe there are breaking API changes (yet) for Beam 0.6.0-SNAPSHOT.
