Kvswap

Pydoc

Takes a collection of key-value pairs and returns a collection of key-value pairs which has each key and value swapped.

Examples

In the following example, we create a pipeline with a PCollection of key-value pairs. Then, we apply KvSwap to swap the keys and values.

import apache_beam as beam

with beam.Pipeline() as pipeline:
  plants = (
      pipeline
      | 'Garden plants' >> beam.Create([
          ('🍓', 'Strawberry'),
          ('🥕', 'Carrot'),
          ('🍆', 'Eggplant'),
          ('🍅', 'Tomato'),
          ('🥔', 'Potato'),
      ])
      | 'Key-Value swap' >> beam.KvSwap()
      | beam.Map(print)
  )

Output PCollection after KvSwap:

plants = [
    ('Strawberry', '🍓'),
    ('Carrot', '🥕'),
    ('Eggplant', '🍆'),
    ('Tomato', '🍅'),
    ('Potato', '🥔'),
]
