PCollectionTuple (Apache Beam 2.10.0)

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.beam.sdk.values.PCollectionTuple

All Implemented Interfaces:: PInput, POutput

public class PCollectionTuple
extends java.lang.Object
implements PInput, POutput

A PCollectionTuple is an immutable tuple of heterogeneously-typed PCollections, "keyed" by TupleTags. A PCollectionTuple can be used as the input or output of a PTransform taking or producing multiple PCollection inputs or outputs that can be of different types, for instance a ParDo with multiple outputs.

A PCollectionTuple can be created and accessed like follows:


 PCollection<String> pc1 = ...;
 PCollection<Integer> pc2 = ...;
 PCollection<Iterable<String>> pc3 = ...;

 // Create TupleTags for each of the PCollections to put in the
 // PCollectionTuple (the type of the TupleTag enables tracking the
 // static type of each of the PCollections in the PCollectionTuple):
 TupleTag<String> tag1 = new TupleTag<>();
 TupleTag<Integer> tag2 = new TupleTag<>();
 TupleTag<Iterable<String>> tag3 = new TupleTag<>();

 // Create a PCollectionTuple with three PCollections:
 PCollectionTuple pcs =
     PCollectionTuple.of(tag1, pc1)
                     .and(tag2, pc2)
                     .and(tag3, pc3);

 // Create an empty PCollectionTuple:
 Pipeline p = ...;
 PCollectionTuple pcs2 = PCollectionTuple.empty(p);

 // Get PCollections out of a PCollectionTuple, using the same tags
 // that were used to put them in:
 PCollection<Integer> pcX = pcs.get(tag2);
 PCollection<String> pcY = pcs.get(tag1);
 PCollection<Iterable<String>> pcZ = pcs.get(tag3);

 // Get a map of all PCollections in a PCollectionTuple:
 Map<TupleTag<?>, PCollection<?>> allPcs = pcs.getAll();

```
public static PCollectionTuple empty(Pipeline pipeline)
```
    Returns an empty PCollectionTuple that is part of the given Pipeline.
    A PCollectionTuple containing additional elements can be created by calling and(org.apache.beam.sdk.values.TupleTag<T>, org.apache.beam.sdk.values.PCollection<T>) on the result.

```
public static <T> PCollectionTuple of(TupleTag<T> tag,
                                      PCollection<T> pc)
```
    Returns a singleton PCollectionTuple containing the given PCollection keyed by the given TupleTag.
    A PCollectionTuple containing additional elements can be created by calling and(org.apache.beam.sdk.values.TupleTag<T>, org.apache.beam.sdk.values.PCollection<T>) on the result.
  - and
```
public <T> PCollectionTuple and(TupleTag<T> tag,
                                PCollection<T> pc)
```
    Returns a new PCollectionTuple that has each PCollection and TupleTag of this PCollectionTuple plus the given PCollection associated with the given TupleTag.
    The given TupleTag should not already be mapped to a PCollection in this PCollectionTuple.
    Each PCollection in the resulting PCollectionTuple must be part of the same Pipeline.
  - has
```
public <T> boolean has(TupleTag<T> tag)
```
    Returns whether this PCollectionTuple contains a PCollection with the given tag.
  - get
```
public <T> PCollection<T> get(TupleTag<T> tag)
```
    Returns the PCollection associated with the given TupleTag in this PCollectionTuple. Throws IllegalArgumentException if there is no such PCollection, i.e., !has(tag).
  - getAll
```
public java.util.Map<TupleTag<?>,PCollection<?>> getAll()
```
    Returns an immutable Map from TupleTag to corresponding PCollection, for all the members of this PCollectionTuple.
  - apply
```
public <OutputT extends POutput> OutputT apply(PTransform<? super PCollectionTuple,OutputT> t)
