Class Regex.ReplaceFirst

java.lang.Object

org.apache.beam.sdk.transforms.PTransform<PCollection<java.lang.String>,PCollection<java.lang.String>>

org.apache.beam.sdk.transforms.Regex.ReplaceFirst

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, HasDisplayData

Enclosing class:

Regex

public static class Regex.ReplaceFirst
extends PTransform<PCollection<java.lang.String>,PCollection<java.lang.String>>

Regex.ReplaceFirst<String> takes a PCollection<String> and returns a PCollection<String> with the first Strings that matched the Regex being replaced with the replacement string.

This transform runs a Regex on the entire input line. If a portion of the line does not match the Regex, the line will be output without changes. If it does match a portion of the line, the first portion matching the Regex will be replaced with the replacement String.

Example of use:

 PCollection<String> words = ...;
 PCollection<String> values =
     words.apply(Regex.replaceFirst("myregex", "myreplacement"));

Description copied from class: PTransform

Applies this PTransform on the given InputT, and returns its Output.

Composite transforms, which are defined in terms of other transforms, should return the output of one of the composed transforms. Non-composite transforms, which do not apply any transforms internally, should return a new unbound output and register evaluators (via backend-specific registration methods).
